If you think the library is just a quiet place all about books, you are WRONG!! The McCracken…read moreLibrary is a very underutilized resource in our area. They have activities for all ages groups. They will help you with your computer or tablet, and they offer a variety of classes. Thursday night game night is a great time with your family. The list could go on and on. I suggest you pick up an event calendar and try something new.

Always helpful, always well-staffed, always clean. Having a large family, we are there pretty often for movies, books, and the special programs. Of course, there is a large selection of books, but it's the other stuff that my family loves. Its downtown location also provides convenient internet access for a large amount of the population, I think that's an excellent service to the community!

The large and historic building feels tucked away on a little brick lane, though it is right in the center of town. Also, and perhaps more importantly, the staff is wonderful. All the women who work there I've encountered are friendly, eager to help, and so nice to me and to each other. I go to this library as often as I can.

I am very impressed with Cape's new public library. I grew up going to this library, and it is…read moreunrecognizable! The children's section is awesome for my toddler, and me, who is able to relax on one of the comfy chairs. I can sit back and chillax, knowing he is safe. There are also so many programs offered for children and adults. All seem to be free of charge, I might add. Can't get better than that. In addition to the wide selection of books on the grounds, they offer ebooks, audio books, and e-magazines accessible on my home computer. I will always make sure before I spend money on an ebook, that I can't simply download it free. If I had to complain about one thing, it would be that the computers are too easy to get to. I come to the library hoping to get my son to love books. I find myself having to fight to keep him from wanting on the computer. Overall, I love this place, and am very grateful that the community of Cape Girardeau has this resource.

I found that it was relatively easy to maneuver throughout the library and that the selection was excellent considering the relatively small size of the library itself. My only complaint is that their overdue charges are absurd- something like 50 cents a day per book, if I recall correctly. The staff is average friendly. The Carbondale library is a-ok in my book!

I was on a multistate road trip when I got a business call that I must sign and return a document…read morewithin that hour. Poor cell connection during the day's travel meant prior calls had not come through that day and a hard deadline was here. Looking ahead on the travel route I picked Mt. Vernon as a place that might have the facilities I required. No e-sign, but print, ink sign, and scan/email (not fax) a document was the time sensitive task before me. I found that office supply chain store listed. A man answering there said the store did not have the capability to have me print a page from email, ink sign, and scan/email. I called this library. After explaining the scenario my call was placed on hold briefly. Upon her return the librarian told me they could help. The two staff involved in helping me achieve this process were pleasant. The only charge was 20 cents for the print of one sheet of paper! They handed me a thumb drive and a staff took care of the scanning. They stayed calm when I was feeling panicked and that helped! Support public funding for public entities including local libraries! They can help you out of a jam you'd never expect to be in. They're an education source and useful through all life stages. Big thanks to the staff here!

It doesn't get too loud. I mean, come on, it's a library! They also have the air conditioning blasting over the summer so it feels great! There are plenty of tables to sit at and read, study, etc with outlets and free wi-fi! The selection of books, magazines, CDs and DVDs are a bit limited but you can always request items from other libraries and you can pick them up at this location which is convenient. The staff members are really friendly and always willing to help you out so I recommend coming here to study, find a good book or to get out of the heat! :)
