They have events here for kids on a pretty regular basis. It's worth checking out since they are always free and my kids enjoy them very much. Sometimes parking here can be an issue as a lot of Soldiers come here to use the computer lab. There is a newly remodeled playground right outside the library. My kids love to go on the swings and the playhouse with the slides.

Was told i would simply need to "wait" even though there was only an hour and a half left for the place to be open. Usually don't care much about this sort of thing but it was especially inconvenient for me this time. Also, if you have kids, i would not try bringing them here with the homelessness and drugs present.

I love this library! They always have events going on. You can get a booklet that informs you of…read moreevents for all age groups. I myself attend the baby bounce when I can. Usually they are every Wednesday from 10-10:45 am for children under 2. I take my 4 month old and she loves it. The librarians do a good job of reading, singing, and keeping babies entertained. I love that they make it interactive for the parents. I love that they have an online catalog you can browse. You can place books on hold and pick up. Their check out system is pretty neat. Instead of scanning your items one by one you place everything on top of a metal square and it automatically reads what you are checking out. It makes self checking out quicker. Definitely a more efficient way to check out that saves time for the customer and it gives the workers time for other things like helping customers with questions or restocking, etc. It's a very nice library. Has lots of resources for the public. They also have iPads for children to use in the children's area. Although 3/4 of them were out of order the day I went. You can rent books, dvds, cds, etc from here.

Set on the NC…read moreState University campus, this is a hidden gem for book lovers and those who love Swedish design. It is massive and as soon as I walked in I felt right at home. I stumbled on this while looking for things to do in the area while attending a book signing. Being a book lover and author, this was an obvious choice. My friend and I explored the first two floors (we were pressed for time) and were in awe. I wish Charleston had something like this because I would be here every single day working on my next manuscript. There were several rooms, desks, and seating areas for readers and students alike to choose from. The large windows allow for plenty of natural light that offsets the bright interior lights. They have a wide collection of titles and studies! Highly recommend that you check it out. Just remember to be quiet and respectful as students may be present working on their projects.

On the other hand, my son complained about the slow public wi-fi, which is a pretty big negative when you're studying using your laptop. He said it took 10 minutes just to get connected to the wi-fi. But for that, this seems like a nice spot to study if you've got a personal hotspot (or access otherwise to faster Internet). Hopefully, there is faster wi-fi for NC State students.

There is a great selection of New Releases. I always take out too many of my favorites.
