They have some tree in the parking lot so you can get parking under the sheds. You can easily print or copy here. The staff is super helpful. They have children section but there was a toddler that walking into the quite area and the mom/grandma also yelling and laughing. I found its a bit disturbing.

The librarians are helpful and the reading garden is nice. They offer great programs for kids and adults. The library is nice and quiet. It's a wonderful place to visit and check out books and other media (videos, etc.) My only complaint is that I'm extremely disappointed that they've discontinued the Libby service.

Worst library I have ever been in in terms of noise level! Apparently the librarian and library clerks think social time is appropriate. It is impossible to get any reading or work done because the noise level is so high.

Great kids programs especially the video game night. Also like that I can request books on the app and pick them up the next day.

Very loud, and not just kids. 2 people on cell phones, library employees, lots of kids, 3 people conversations. Won't be back to this branch. Some noise is ok, but it was very noisy when I was there.

Love the library. Fruitville has always been popular with my son and I. Not the selection of the main library - duh - but a nice satellite branch indeed. Kids especially will enjoy the dedicated children's area and the butterfly garden. Staff has always been super helpful. Early voting during elections is usually done here (and other locations) but the building design keeps the two activities from interfering with each other. Kudos. Access is easy as all government buildings are ADA compliant. Automatic door openers, double wide doors, ramps, the whole nine yards.

Love all libraries! This one is pretty quiet which is nice. Decent selection and you can always request something from another library. Been going there for years and have never had any problems at all. Support your libraries!
