Staff is very friendly, and the pick up system is super convenient. The drive-thru book return is kind of crazy -- if you haven't used it, it's worth doing just for the experience of sending your books off on an LED-lit conveyor belt. More fun than I was expecting :P Hoping to try some of the events soon -- it seems like there's always something going on. The location is very convenient. I love being able to treat myself to a library visit as a reward for going grocery shopping, haha (Winco is in the adjacent parking lot)

We took a walk around the building and they were setting up for an event today. Lots of hands on activities. Over on the other side of the building were some study rooms, computers, a copy machine and plenty of space to sit and read. Many comfortable chairs, desks and tables throughout the space and lots of sunlight. We were able to quickly get a library card and check out a few books. The staff were all super friendly and moving around so it was easy to ask questions. Looking forward to our next visit!

Who would have known? The entrance is welcoming and warm and definitely laid out to allow teens and adults alike to be a little more loud as they enter. The entrance is closed off, if you will, so the sound will not carry into the quieter areas. I see this as a great place for people to hangout, chat, snack if they wish, prior to actually entering where the books area. For a Thursday night, the place was bustling. I just walked around looking through books, checking out their monthly librarian picks, goat books, and relaxing next to the outdoor waterfall on the patio. If you need to escape your day for a few, think about the Meridian Library Patio. What a gem and I am serious! Once I found the book I wanted to take home, the librarians were wonderful! They listened to my library stories of when I was a kid and proceeded to tell me about the SUMMER ADULT Reading program, like when we were little. They have prizes, drawings, and check off all your lego looking blocks, and get a free book for completing your nightly 40-minute reading. What a great idea. I have such fond memories of my experiences at my local library and Meridian is such a special place to keep those library memories going, especially for children. (Or adult like me that still act like a child.) So the moral of my rave is, this place is great! I also love that when you check out books, your receipt tells you how much money you save by checking out your book! What a wonderful idea! This place is clean, welcoming, and you are sure to find a quiet nook to escape to the world of reading. Now just go! (The reason for my 4 is because I want to frequent this spot to see if my experience is consistent. I will update after a few more stop-ins.)

As both a mom and a huge reader, I've visited a LOT of libraries across the Treasure Valley, and…read morethe Eagle Public Library is hands-down my favorite. This library is clearly well-funded, thoughtfully staffed, and built around way more than just books. It's incredibly clean, welcoming, and genuinely designed for families and community use. The children's area alone is amazing. They have: experiential toddler toys Vox books that actually read aloud to kids multilingual books interactive learning stations rotating displays and activities But honestly, the thing that makes this library stand out is their "Library of Things." Over the years we've borrowed: a ukulele stamps/craft supplies a sewing machine a piano keyboard memory games kids' board games toys Matchbox car sets Barbie dolls teacher book kits with hand puppets And somehow everything is ALWAYS in amazing condition. Even the puzzles somehow still have all the pieces, which honestly feels like wizardry at this point. The seating options are great, the staff is consistently helpful, and the study rooms are actually clean and pleasant to use (don't even get me started on some of the Boise library study rooms). I wouldn't necessarily call this a "quiet library," but I mean that in the best possible way. It feels alive and family-friendly without being chaotic. Their programming is also fantastic. Follow them on Facebook or Instagram because some of their paint nights, family events, and 4pm kids classes are genuinely adorable and surprisingly well done. This place has become such a core part of our family life. Just an all-around exceptional library and one of my favorite places in Eagle.

Indigo loves this library…read more We have attended their Toddler Story Time a couple of times and I'm impressed. The first time, there was a guest appearance by a mama sheep and her two babies (so cute), silly songs, and of course story time. Indigo is mildly interested in story time and songs, but still seems to enjoy them. She's really there to make friends and play! After the stories, there is play time for the babies/toddlers and the friendly parents/gaurdians/grand people as well. I really like the fact that they have a separate "baby" room with baby/toddler books, toys, puzzles and etc. for kids. Kids can be kids and that is neat. There are lots of toddler/baby/kids programs and their calendar online is always full of fun educational activities and classes. Special thanks to Sarah and Molly for being fun welcoming hosts. Indigo highly recommend this place, 50 stars!

I love that they have bags you can check out to carry your books in! I was also pleased with their selection of YA books, as that is what I mostly read, particularly things that fall in the category of #WeNeedDiverseBooks. I was able to find a lot of diversity in terms of main characters of color, lgbtq main characters, etc. as well as a lot of #OwnVoices content.

Since it is run by my mom, I can say with decades of experience that the head librarian is passionate about books and learning and knowledge.

The library's collection of books is a solid collection for the small size, but they can order books from within the Idaho library system for those with needs bigger than what can be sourced from a small town library.
