    Woodbourne Library is one of two branches of the Washington-Centervile Library system, with the…read moreother being the Centerville Library located just 3 miles south from this location. As of this review, it's open from 10am-9pm during the week, 10am-5pm on Saturdays and 1pm-5pm on Sundays. All Dayton Metro Library branches are closed on Sundays, so this is a nice option to have in the area. The most recent renovation and expansion to this facility occurred in 2018, and it remains clean and well-maintained. Reservable spaces include three 'quiet' rooms for up to 4 people, two meeting rooms for 4-6 people, a creative space for up to 20 people, and a large community room for up to 80 people. Of note, the three quiet rooms have a single, small round table, which makes it difficult for more than 2 people to use at the same time. The meeting rooms are located in the middle of the library and lack windows to the outside. Other spaces include a few scattered smaller tables in the front of the library and one 4 person table in the far back corner which is usually highly sought after as it is isolated from the other areas and provides some privacy. In addition, there are four 4-person tables in the middle with outlets, and three 2-person tables adjacent to these, although without outlet access. In another area, they have some other 2-person tables with dividers in the middle thus making them individual spots. There are lots of reading chairs spread throughout. Although this may sound like a lot, the tables (particularly the 4-person ones) fill up rather quickly, so I've always thought they could use a few more. I've also noticed that this library is rather busy most of the time, especially compared to some of the others in the area.

    I have been at the new library several times now, and each experience has been great. Admittedly I…read morehave not been there for the books but for the environment. I currently telecommute for work but working at home can be a little isolating. So I go to the library to work in a quiet environment that allows me to focus yet is open and bright(lots of windows). The furniture is comfortable, there is free WiFi, the librarians are pleasant and helpful, and as a town resident I can reserve a meeting room for times that I need to talk on the phone with my co-workers. I know that this is not the traditional use of the library but since we pay taxes to support it, as long as I don't disturb anyone else in the process, I feel perfectly good about it. I wrote my dissertation in a public library years ago and came to appreciate them not only for this sort of thing but as a continuing center of the community. They are a hive of activity that we should maintain. And for me, when I take breaks from work, I enjoy the magazines and books available to me. Support your local library!

    The DML Miamisburg Branch is a quiet little library somewhat off the beaten path. When you walk in,…read moreyou'll notice the vaulted ceiling surrounding the middle of the library with lots of windows allowing plenty of natural light. Group spaces include two quads with space for up to 4 people, two group rooms for up to 8 people, one conference room for up to 10 people and a community room for up to 45 people. They also have a quiet reading room with two 4-person tables and several reading chairs. My first time visiting I had trouble finding where to park, as there is not a lot attached to the building. The Miamisburg Board of Education building is directly north of the library and has some parking on its' south end, but I wasn't sure if library patrons were allowed to park there. I drove around the block and ended up parking in a street spot on 6th St. Once inside, I learned the lot used for the library is actually across 6th St, just northeast of the library. Although, signs for this would have been helpful. Overall though, another great DML branch!

    Fairly new. Easy free parking. Safe area. Only complaint isnt their fault ... as a branch of the…read moreDayton library system you are sharing with main branches and Lots of people so it take FOREVER to get something on hold. If i put the same movie onhold here as franklin and Middletown.. at the same time might be 10th there and 300th in dayton. But they sometimes have something that the other libraries never get.

    I had a very disappointing experience at the Spark Place during a scheduled 4-6pm appointment…read more I booked time to complete sublimation projects (10 shirts and 5 mugs) and came prepared based on prior instructions. As someone new to sublimation, I expected at least some guidance. Instead, the manager (Doug) was not helpful when I asked how to properly size my design in Canva. I received vague, textbook-style answers, which led to nearly 40 minutes of frustrating trial and error. The biggest issue happened near the end of our session. We were told mug pressing had to be done by 5:45 PM. At 5:40, we had one mug left that was fully prepped and only needed a few minutes to finish. Despite clearly being able to complete everything on time, I was told I would need to reschedule a full two-hour session just to finish that last mug. When I calmly asked for clarification, the manager became dismissive and raised his voice, saying it was my fault and that I "didn't listen." This was said in front of others, including my 4-year-old daughter, and felt very belittling. He eventually said he would "make an exception," but only after speaking to me in an unprofessional manner. We did finish everything by 5:45 exactly, which made the situation even more frustrating. This is also the second negative interaction I've had with this same manager. The Spark Place has great potential and valuable resources, but the environment should be supportive and welcoming--especially for beginners. Unfortunately, this experience left a very bad impression.

    Awesome place. Friendly staff and great selection of items. I've been a frequent customer at the…read morenew Spark place makerspace, where you can create some amazing things. As a small business this is a huge added tool to use right here in our community.

There was hardly any training and the wages were meager. One of the most toxic places that I have worked at. Still going to therapy from the instance.

    This library is very community focused and it is an asset to Waynesville. For a small town library…read moreit has an extensive selection of books, entertainment, and events. Story times are a blast but some do require a sign up. I would check out the website or call ahead before dropping in to confirm. The kids section is HUGE and has a nice play area for kids under the age of six. There are iPads and other devices with activities for older children. I'm not too knowledgeable about the older kids programs but I've seen photos friends have posted online and they look like a lot of fun. My favorite part about this library is the events they host in the evening for adults. I love all of the crafting events! These are always sign up only and fill up quickly. They post about the events on the Facebook page and tell you what day sign ups begin. You can sign up online but I find it best to call in early that day and sign up. I've attended a few painting classes, wine glass painting, book purse making, etc. We eat, we chat, we craft! It's a great girls night activity! And if they happen to have another murder mystery night, do yourself a favor and sign up! The actors are interactive and they let you explore the library to find clues and grill the suspects. I've recently moved away and miss my small town library!
