One of the best libraries in the area. The location has a great home feeling. You can spend the day…read morein front of the fireplace reading your favorite book. It's cozy but not confining. They have a large selection of books and media but my favorite is The Library of Things collection. So many extra items you can check out like an air fryer, telescope, steel drum, soft serve machine... you name it they probably have it. There is always monthly activities and the staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to visiting whenever I go

A cool water fountain greets you as you…read morewalk in, as well as a selection of free books and magazines, and a small Friends of the Library bookstore. The library itself has large areas divided into children's, teens, and adults. They have free Wi-Fi available that is quite fast and reliable. A half-dozen children's computers are in the front of the library, the adult computers are several steps further. Plenty of seating areas for adults and those under 18. 3-D printing services are also available (as well as at Hayden). Friendly librarians, too!

The views outside the windows are spectacular and there's a lot for the kids! My son loved the Yoto stations and my daughter loved the play house. They both enjoyed the puzzle table too. They aren't old enough for computers yet, but there were plenty in there that kids were utilizing well. The bathroom was easily accessible and clean too.

Great library!…read more There is a children's library downstairs, and the adult library is upstairs. They have a good selection of books, they also use interlibrary loan so they can get other books that they don't have in-house delivered. They have a good selection of films, they even have video games which I haven't seen a lot of libraries that have that. They have a library of things, which means they have some small devices and appliances that you can check out and use. The librarians are really helpful and friendly. For the kids library downstairs they have a lot of really great events and toys and computers that the kids can use. It's also located right next to a park, so you can make a day of it, you can come and check out the library, then do a picnic, then play on the playground. So why four stars instead of five? Well, the public parking lot for the library has a time limit! And so if you spend too long here you will get a ticket. Other than that this library is pretty sweet.

Very well organized library, I found what I was looking for and the staff was helpful. Parking can…read morebe tricky to find at times, but it usually isn't a big deal.

Recently renovated and re-opened. The space feels open and bright…read more Large play area suitable for toddlers and maybe K-3 students. Four computers dedicated to kids, but not nearly enough for peak times. After school the kids stack 2-3 deep waiting for a turn. There are four little study nooks with power outlets, and plenty of other seating and tables. The whole back wall is glass and they did a beautiful job. Open concept favors safety and security but sacrifices volume as the noise tends to bounce everywhere. Overall a huge improvement but easily strained by the volume of users during peak times.

When you're driving down Perry, you can almost miss it. It is a very unassuming building with…read morealmost a hidden stature. There's a very large parking lot, big enough for anyone to find a spot. The parking lot is also decently shaded so it offers a cool alternative to the summer heat. The front doors are automatic and slide directly into the library itself as you pass the desk. As soon as you enter, there is a budget bookshelf of books for sale. Then you get into the real library. They have bathrooms and seating areas and a drinking fountain and computers to use as well as bookshelf upon bookshelf. If you know what you were looking for, you might need to ask someone or use a computer to look it up because there are not great labels on all of the rows. It could also be a little bit cleaner, and a little more organized. If you were just looking to browse, as I often do, then it is a nice place to wander around. I wish they were more comfortable sitting around where all of the bookshelves are, but it's just a dream. They offer a hands-free check out which is very helpful especially when you're an introvert and don't really want to talk to the receptionist. If you do have to talk to them however, they are very nice and helpful :-) I would recommend it for people who have a library card and want to find some thing that will enhance and excite them.

I contacted this library to ask for assistance with a reference interview for my program in Library…read moreScience. For my assignment I was required to determine how their reference desk interacts with the patrons. Dana (forgive me if I have the wrong spelling!) was very helpful in answering all of my questions. She was precise in her answers and I am impressed with how many resources are available to patrons. The day previously, I also had another positive interaction with a different librarian who ensured it was possible for me to conduct the interview. Very pleased with my interactions.

They have them in the young adult section as well. This library looks to be pushing an agenda. There's not a lot of variety. Don't take my word for it. Walk in yourself and see.

I've indentured myself to one too many libraries over my 33 years. I can't help it, reading is…read morecool. Watching TV never really stuck to me if I had a good book around. My years have taught me to always have a few good books to read somewhere. Fast forward to two kids later and I laugh at the notion of ever immersing myself in television or literature again. Now I just want good, easy, important and fun activities for my free (yah right) time. I wasn't expecting much out of a small community library, however this branch far exceeded any preconceived notion. One, the grounds are beautiful. It's apparent that there is a team behind the library that works to make being outside just as peaceful as inside. I often spend hours with my youngest right outside the library door while my oldest works in Lego Club. Yes I said it, Lego Club. Are you kidding me Liberty Lake Library? Not only have you pinpointed the one thing my son loves above all else in this world, you created a community for him. Priceless in my eyes.

Great library overall to kill time besides the mall, but it smells of urine inside. The staff were…read morenice overall. Would like to spend more time just to enjoy the views of rushing water fall, but couldn't really enjoy. Just observation of many patrons not minding their voices. Would probably enjoy a good hour and back to the mall I go. A wonderful library but next visit will probably need to reserve a room to read. Good place over all to stay off wet and windy weather outside.

And has its own radio station, and I suspect sooo much more. And underground parking. Yes, there are homeless around, but they don't seem to bother anybody, and so there is no complaint there.

Nice public library for a small town.

This location happens to be within a few minutes walk from my home. I've been coming here for…read moreyears and have come to appreciate the branch for it's size and selection of books, movies, and music. I also like the kids programs they put out. My daughter has been a part if the summer reading program for years and I believe that has helped her become the avid reader she is today. They also have other children's programs that are a lot of fun. The branch staff has basically been the same for quite a long time and they have always been friendly and helpful. The only issue I have found here is parking during summer months. Because it is located next to a city pool it can sometimes be an issue to find a spot. The Spokane libraries do a wonderful job of making the library experience easy. You can order materials that are located at other branches and have them delivered to your local branch. You can get free music downloads by popular artists through Freegal. Computer usage is easy and you can block times online. If you haven't been for a while you should check out all they have to offer.

It's the greatest place on earth. My idea of a great Saturday afternoon is to spend an hour browsing the aisles of the library and picking out books based on fun titles, cool cover photos and other random selection processes. The librarians at the Shadle branch are friendly and helpful. The kids section is adorable with little couches and blocks strewn about for playing. Overall, great library.
