So it runs on it's own system but seemingly no different than any other library. There's a large parking lot so scrambling for a space to park isn't a battle you have to fight when visiting. When I drove up, I was blow away by. the beauty of the building exterior, such a pretty place! I visited with my son and was also so appreciative of the accessibility since we were navigating a stroller. It was so quiet and peaceful when we walked in. There were a few patrons downstairs but you never would have known it, you could hear a pin drop. I was greeted and helped by a young lady who gave me all the in's and out's. I live right on the edge of the perimeter so I just lucked out and snagged a library card. After getting our card, my son and I just strolled around the library checking out the offerings. The children's section is so cute and filled with books, colorful furniture and space to enjoy some reading and play time. There was even a clear distinction between the section for the little littles and kids, loved it. I was also so surprised to see items available for rent such as baking supplies - how cool. As a child of a teacher who has always prioritized education and reading, I'm so grateful for libraries. Get yourself a library card today!

Today was the third time I've been at this library utilizing one of the study rooms close to…read moreclosing time and was told that I had to exit even though there wasn't anyone waiting on it. Today, I arrived at 4:30pm and was asked to leave right after 7pm, and I'm literally looking at five other people all sitting at desks, and the second study room is vacant! It seems idiotic that if there isn't anyone vying for the study rooms LESS THAN AN HOUR until closing that someone should be asked to leave. So basically, what I just had to do is end my Zoom meeting, collect all of my belongings just to sit out next to the other patrons, all while staring at what are now TWO vacant study rooms! What harm am I doing to the day to day operations, especially when it took THIRTY MINUTES to do their rounds??? The last time I visited, I was told that my video could be heard on the first floor, which was impossible, because I have enough sense to monitor my volume, even with a closed door. At this point, I'm starting to think that it's personal since I come often if I'm in the area. So with that, I will resume my patronage at Switzer, where they understand this logic, and I won't be visiting ever again.

I've been to the Lewis A. Ray Library many times with my toddlers for their storytime. As of…read moreJanuary 2022, these are Tuesdays @ 10:30 for a half hour. Ms. Elise seems to really enjoy her time with the kids. She has remembered *everyone's* name (I'm really impressed!), she reads aloud age-appropriate stories (we're going through an alphabet theme right now), and she has many crafts available for any families that want to take some home. The crafts are simple and often require some gluing, pasting, or cutting. Expect to have some adult supervision or assistance required. Unfortunately, I haven't had time to browse the books and other resources at the library yet since I'm always there with my kiddos and they want to go to Oakdale Park right after storytime, but the place is on the smaller side and has a friendly staff. Masks are currently required and social distancing is encouraged. (The Omicron variant is at large at this time of writing.) Storytime groups have ranged from 5-12 kids lately, but there was a recent 19-kid day when and special policeman guest visited and let the kids get into his car. (This was the "P" day. Ms. Elise had read Officer Buckle and Gloria to go with the theme.)
