If no other branch in their system has it, they'll order it from a retailer. If you don't know how to operate their fax machine, they'll do it for you. Nothing is too much trouble for them. If you ask them to do something for you, they do it, they don't forget, you don't need to follow up with them. The library is always clean, including the bathrooms. They have an outgoing mail tray sitting on the counter that library patrons are welcome to use, saving us a trip to a mailbox or to the post office. I can't say enough good about this library and the people who work there.

I come to this library primarily to use the study rooms which are nice, spacious and comfortable. They have a white board inside of them as well. My favorite part of this library is the display of African American baseball artifacts on multiple levels. It shows how important, valuable and the great contribution African Americans players made to the sport of baseball. Park on the garage level.....maybe on floor 3 of the garage which had a small bridge to enter the library directly. Also, The community college shares the upper floors of this library as well which includes larger study rooms and an entire computer lab. The staff is really helpful as well. Will definitely be back time and time again

This library offers a few history lessons about historic Reisterstown. It's located next to the 1st…read morecemetery in the area that includes several people involved in the founding and building of Reisterstown and Owings Mills. The older part of the library is a building that was the first school. There is a modernized addition to that historic building to hold the actual books and computers. The quiet room is okay, but because it's located in the older building you can hear people walking around upstairs and anyone going up or down the stairs...it can be annoying at times! They have about 20 or so computers to log into. Free wi-do of course. The staff is very helpful, friendly, and will try their best to answer any of your questions.

This is a Very nice library, large enough in scale, with a lot of computers for public use, plenty seating areas for work and study, brightness through the large glass wall. Beautifully designed. Ample parking included handicap and EV charging. Restroom is good size located right before the main entrance. Large kids area with books, tables, chairs and a full schedule of activities. Teen center also come with activities plans. The only downside, is the homeless issues, they just come and stink up the entire place. The SAD part is, this is not just a HCL problem , this happens to all public libraries, cause you cannot tell them not to come to a public facility. Free hclwireless unsecured wifi. Highly recommend to bring your own sanitizing wipes to wipe down everything you plan to sit and use before seated.
