The staff here is welcoming, patient and always helpful. I can usually find a book I want, and if…read moreit's not here, it's delivered from another library in the district within a couple days. The library is closed on Sundays and Mondays, but Silverton is a small town and staffing is undoubtedly an issue.

Has great atmosphere, staff. A great place to study and get work done. My only biggest complaint…read moreis their limited hours. Would love if they didn't close so early on weekends.

I like the folks at the post office in Silverton very much. Always friendly, always helpful as…read morepossible. What is VERY disappointing, however, is the fact that the building and grounds, which were very nice when brand new not too long ago, have fallen into a terrible state of disrepair. There have been ceiling tiles inside the building, right over the heads of the workers at the counters, missing and water stained because of a leaking roof. The employees actually have to put buckets on the counters for the nights and weekdends during the rainy months of the year. This has been going on for almost two years now. The grass is always dead and weed-filled throughout the Summer. The bushes and shrubs outside are all over grown and not maintained. The grass is very often over grown and tall, full of weeds. The sidewalks haven't been edged in years.. I could go on and on. It is very disappointing. The Post Office is supposed to be the one business in town that is a beacon of cleanliness and order. It is no wonder that many friends have commented that they have not even been to the post office in years. It's just not a very inviting atmosphere. In fact it is quite depressing to see it's state in an otherwise beautifully kept city!

From the outside, it looks a little bit like a fairytale cottage. In particular, the wrought iron…read moresign in English and German surrounded by flowers looks like the start of a wonderful story. Even inside this small city library there are wood carvings on the shelves and a distinctly cozy feel. But being a small community library, it doesn't have all the bells and whistles I'm used to seeing in the surrounding areas. The hours vary daily and the library is closed on Sunday and Monday. And unfortunately for me, they do not participate in the Oregon Library Passport Program. So no lending materials to those that don't live in the community. I am sure city residents will give it a higher rating, but for a visitor the services are a bit limited. Visiting on a quiet day, I had a nice interaction with the librarian and there are materials about Mt. Angel available in the vestibule.

I went looking for a book which had disappeared off their shelves, and both the head librarian and…read moreher assistant went the extra mile trying to help me. On a return visit I was not as impressed with staff civility. The building itself was handsome and well-designed, with exposed hammer beams and excellent ergonomics, a tribute to city management. Dead quiet when I was there. The fiction holdings seem conventional, newish. For fine journals they have "The Economist" and "The New Yorker". The nonfiction holdings looked strong for a small library and the new nonfiction books demonstrated a remarkable breadth of intellectual interests, and my admiration was only increased by a return visit. Many people nationwide have dreams of moving to Oregon towns and they might well entertain thoughts about what the neighbors will be like. What I have seen on the nonfiction shelves would indicate there are penetrating thinkers in this community. In the foyer there is a small bulletin board and shelving for a wide range of brochures explaining local services, attractions, etc. Would give five stars, but for it being a smallish library and a staff I don't have the measure of yet.
