Haven't been to a library since I was a kid, but this one was awesome! 2 stories and a really nice…read morefacility inside and out. The views outside the windows are spectacular and there's a lot for the kids! My son loved the Yoto stations and my daughter loved the play house. They both enjoyed the puzzle table too. They aren't old enough for computers yet, but there were plenty in there that kids were utilizing well. The bathroom was easily accessible and clean too.

Great library!…read more There is a children's library downstairs, and the adult library is upstairs. They have a good selection of books, they also use interlibrary loan so they can get other books that they don't have in-house delivered. They have a good selection of films, they even have video games which I haven't seen a lot of libraries that have that. They have a library of things, which means they have some small devices and appliances that you can check out and use. The librarians are really helpful and friendly. For the kids library downstairs they have a lot of really great events and toys and computers that the kids can use. It's also located right next to a park, so you can make a day of it, you can come and check out the library, then do a picnic, then play on the playground. So why four stars instead of five? Well, the public parking lot for the library has a time limit! And so if you spend too long here you will get a ticket. Other than that this library is pretty sweet.

I was originally admitted to the University of Washington BASW program, but because the program is…read morehybrid and my employer could not accommodate the required in-person classes, I began looking for a fully online BASW. That led me to Eastern Washington University. While the Online BASW program itself is appealing, my admissions experience was unfortunately one of the most difficult I have encountered. After being admitted to EWU, I applied to the BASW program. From that point on, it often felt like the different departments were not communicating with one another. I was told multiple times that my official transcripts had not been received, even though another department had already confirmed they had been received. I found myself repeatedly providing screenshots of emails and confirming information that had already been given to me by EWU staff. The process felt disorganized, and I often had the impression that one department did not know what another department was doing. As a prospective transfer student trying to make an important educational decision, it was frustrating to spend so much time following up on information that should have already been available internally. There were positive experiences along the way. Al A. was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely helpful. Denise A. was also courteous and assisted me with the admissions process. I appreciate the time they took to answer my questions. Unfortunately, those positive interactions were overshadowed by the overall lack of coordination. I never felt confident that my application was moving forward, and because my transcript evaluation continued to be delayed, I ultimately had to withdraw my application to avoid losing my place at another university. I believe EWU has a strong Online BASW program with great potential, but the admissions process would benefit greatly from better communication between departments, more consistent information, and a stronger focus on supporting prospective students. I hope my feedback helps improve the experience for future applicants.

One of the best libraries in the area. The location has a great home feeling. You can spend the day…read morein front of the fireplace reading your favorite book. It's cozy but not confining. They have a large selection of books and media but my favorite is The Library of Things collection. So many extra items you can check out like an air fryer, telescope, steel drum, soft serve machine... you name it they probably have it. There is always monthly activities and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to visiting whenever I go

Post Falls should be lucky to have a library like this. A cool water fountain greets you as you…read morewalk in, as well as a selection of free books and magazines, and a small Friends of the Library bookstore. The library itself has large areas divided into children's, teens, and adults. They have free Wi-Fi available that is quite fast and reliable. A half-dozen children's computers are in the front of the library, the adult computers are several steps further. Plenty of seating areas for adults and those under 18. 3-D printing services are also available (as well as at Hayden). Friendly librarians, too!

Great library overall to kill time besides the mall, but it smells of urine inside. The staff were…read morenice overall. Would like to spend more time just to enjoy the views of rushing water fall, but couldn't really enjoy. Just observation of many patrons not minding their voices. Would probably enjoy a good hour and back to the mall I go. A wonderful library but next visit will probably need to reserve a room to read. Good place over all to stay off wet and windy weather outside.

Any library that has free alternative-band concerts, where they sell beer and wine, is going to get…read more5 stars from me! Ok, and it is bright and airy. And has its own radio station, and I suspect sooo much more. And underground parking. Yes, there are homeless around, but they don't seem to bother anybody, and so there is no complaint there. We'll be back next Saturday for another Winter Concert.

This location happens to be within a few minutes walk from my home. I've been coming here for…read moreyears and have come to appreciate the branch for it's size and selection of books, movies, and music. I also like the kids programs they put out. My daughter has been a part if the summer reading program for years and I believe that has helped her become the avid reader she is today. They also have other children's programs that are a lot of fun. The branch staff has basically been the same for quite a long time and they have always been friendly and helpful. The only issue I have found here is parking during summer months. Because it is located next to a city pool it can sometimes be an issue to find a spot. The Spokane libraries do a wonderful job of making the library experience easy. You can order materials that are located at other branches and have them delivered to your local branch. You can get free music downloads by popular artists through Freegal. Computer usage is easy and you can block times online. If you haven't been for a while you should check out all they have to offer.

It's the greatest place on earth. My idea of a great Saturday afternoon is to spend an hour browsing the aisles of the library and picking out books based on fun titles, cool cover photos and other random selection processes. The librarians at the Shadle branch are friendly and helpful. The kids section is adorable with little couches and blocks strewn about for playing. Overall, great library.

Recently renovated and re-opened. The space feels open and bright…read more Large play area suitable for toddlers and maybe K-3 students. Four computers dedicated to kids, but not nearly enough for peak times. After school the kids stack 2-3 deep waiting for a turn. There are four little study nooks with power outlets, and plenty of other seating and tables. The whole back wall is glass and they did a beautiful job. Open concept favors safety and security but sacrifices volume as the noise tends to bounce everywhere. Overall a huge improvement but easily strained by the volume of users during peak times.
