Reviews of Jacksonville Public Library (Library)

Maria Gaddis

It's a small library, but the computers are updated and will run properly for necessary use. The staff is very helpful and the library is cleaner than most.

They provide various genres of books, for free, to the community and I think that's fantastic.

They always have what book I want and I love the librarians because they always help me find my book if I can't.

Quiet friendly place to find/read a book or use their free WiFi. Great staff, wonderful "small kids" section. Loads of special events for all ages.

The people are mean and they are not a good library

My fiance and I love the library and visit the Anniston one several times a month .We occasionally go to the Oxford one as well. We actually live in Jacksonville so I said why don't we check out our library and get a DVD for tonight. After filling out the forms. We are informed we can't check out a DVD for 3 months due to a probation period. I asked "Is that ever waived? My fiance is a veteran and we have a perfect return record at Anniston and Oxford." She said that I could speak with the director who was standing next to her. I asked her and she said "why?' I said because it's three months she said" AND' so rudely. She informed me they don't waive the period and they don't check with other libraries. Her demeanor was so rude I was taken aback. We are pushing 50. We are not kids and I didn't like being treated that way. It did make me appreciate the area libraries more. Anniston and Oxford have great staff and the Anniston director is wonderful. You also can check out DVDs at both the day you get your library card.

Well stocked children's area. Children must be five years old to obtain their own library card.

Does anyone know if the Jacksonville Public Library has any archival material or history of the old Illinois State Asylum? I had a relative there in 1865(William Sanderson McCormick), who was said to suffer from “Nervous Dyspepsia”. Thanks for any responses!
