What a great library! I believe it has been in it's new location since October of 2012. I took the…read moreboys for the first time a few months back and we've been going at least 3 times a months since then. The exterior of the building looks great as it should since it's new! The interior is wonderful...lot's of room and the library does not waste any of it. They have community meeting rooms, quiet room(s), an internet cafe room, independant study rooms, children's section room(s), teenage section room, and even a game system room...and plenty of computers in each section (adult, teenage, and children) of the library. I know, Wow! I'm certain that I am forgetting one or two other rooms. The library also has wi-fi throughout the building, no issues logging on. My boys love the children's section of the library. They have computers with specific software/programs for children, puzzles, legos, and nice section to sit and read. Great view of DT Crown Point from this part of the library as well. The library also hosts a number of great events for children of all ages and even adults, I know I'm looking forward to seeing Astronaut, Jerry Ross next month. The staff has also been very kind and helpful each time I've asked a question or for help. Last note...the Crown Point and Winfield libraries operate seperately from the Lake County branch libraries.

Pretty good library, and clean as far as suburban libraries go. I also love the fact it has one of…read morethe bigger book sale areas, of any suburban library I've visited. Once a month or once every 3 months(forget the time of the month and how often they occur), they discount every book and other non-book things they have in the book sale area. I also like how the downtown Hammond Goldblatt's clock was restored and is still operational on the 2nd floor of this library, above the stairs. This will sound like an odd reason for not giving it 5 stars, but it does often seem like they are slower to reopen it after inclement weather periods, vs. other suburban libraries. It happened to me once, and it annoyed me since I was hoping to visit it that day, and other libraries had already reopened after that same bad winter storm some years ago. Maybe I'm dwelling on that incident too much? Regardless it is a good library to visit, if by some chance you find yourself in Hammond.

The Commander Tony found out I am a veteran and offered to help to get connected with the local V(eteran) S(ervice) O(fficer), who over time has assisted me to acquire much needed disability.

Free popcorn with a donation. 2nd room being the meeting hall. Where the D(isabled) A(merican) V(eterns) have meetings. Sandwiched between the two main rooms are a Men's room and Ladies room. Plus the grounds are shaded with older growth oak trees which are scenic and walkable. Along with a Frisbee golf course. Just bring your own Frisbee. On the days when the VSO comes, a local pizza company(Pizza on the Point) comes and makes fresh pizza in the kitchen of the meeting room, the personal size pizza's are $8.00, with unlimited toppings.

We have been having parking issues for years, and as my parents got older, their health had gotten worse. We needed to be able to drive up to the porch, or park directly in front of the house, and sometimes, that's not possible. I reached out to the city, and was put in contact with Vanessa, and she explained the process so clearly. She even personally delivered the money order for the fee to my Mom's home, because payment cannot be accepted until it has been approved by the board. I was able to watch the board meeting, and learn the extended process, and hear when it was approved. I didn't have to continuously hassle her about updates. She communicated thoroughly. She provided a time frame of when the signs would be installed, and sure enough, it was done. LaMont and Harris was right on time. It took them no time to install the signs, and they were very professional. They also understood the reason for the signs, and mentioned how neighbors used to be, and how we are all working towards a Greater Gary. They offered their prayers for my Mom, and went about their way. Thank you to the City of Gary Public Works Department for a job well done from start to finish!! That's what I'm talking about! #Garyrocks!
