Their renovation at the library was like walking in an office with the new furniture installed.

Today was there 3rd and last time I will attempt at this library. I am a student who would like friendly access to a local library during business hours. During my first visit this last month I could not even read a book because the staff was talking so loudly to each other. The second time my daughter and I was rushed to check out because they needed to count down their registers keep in mind I was paying a late fee but I’m being rushed out the door how ironic. This last time I went 8 minutes til 4 on a Saturday and she tells me their computers are shut down and they can’t assist me. I will never revisit this library again. As a Bessemer citizen I try to stay in our community but I will not stand to be mistreated I will go where I have access to resources, quietness, and smiling helpful faces. The ladies who work there are mean hateful and do not fit the face of an librarian.

My son and I come here to work while we are in town helping my mother in law, who lives in Bessemer. We always find friendly and helpful librarians. I like the used book room too.

Mommy Life

Attended a festival with my daughter. Everything seemed OK and everyone seemed nice, however, I asked my 19month old of she was hungry. She said yes. So I waited until the food table opened. when the food station opened, I got in line. The line wasn't long. I asked for a hamburger. When I got to the 2nd person, she made the hamburger. The cart (small hotdog plate that they used) touched my hand, and was taken away. I was informed that I needed a ticket. I'm 4 months pregnant, was walking around, had my daughter. I just left , went home and made burgers. 1) there is NO way that I could have been in the line twice because the food was station opened for 2min(including my time in line) 2.) There should have been someone guarding the entrance telling people to sign in. Instead, they were just sitting there talking. Or there should have been a sign AT the food table. 3. )the burger was for my baby. (She basically took food away from my daughter who already saw it ) 4.)That was an embarrassment. I advise others to not attend any festivities at this location.
