If you have kids, the library has a large area for the kids and a lot of events. Lot is space for the adults as well and several computers.

Kids liked the story time and had fun playing in the little play area afterwards!!! Definitely there will be a lot of visits to this library!

Great library.

Go past the library and into the nature on the outside. A short stroll will take you a quiet place to collect yourself with a trail to walk on alongside water (with a cute little fish in it). You wouldn't expect it, but there's a trail and benches and it's peaceful and GREEN- even when it's hot. Shouldn't even be telling you this... I'm stingy.

It's great if you want to use their Internet services for looking up information or homework, & checking out books, but that's all it's good for. A lot of books that you want they most likely won't have it stock so you would have to request a certain book. Most of the time it's not quiet at all like a normal library should be. It is a neighborhood library so there are a lot of neighborhood kids who come in & run around when you're trying to study. Staff does nothing about it. Teenagers come in & are loud & obnoxious. Staff does nothing about it again. There are some adults who come in & are just as loud as the children, no one seems to understand that this is a library & it's supposed to be quiet. I wouldn't say all, but there a few staff members who are not friendly, it's like they don't want to be there, & when you ask a question, they can be rude about the way they answer it. Last thing is the movies, they are scratched up, they have fingerprints all over them that you can't even play them. You'd be lucky if you get a new movie before anyone else gets a hold of it. If it's a few weeks old, 9 times outta 10 it's already damaged. They put little comment cards inside the DVD case to write what problem you had with it, & once you write your problem, return the movie all they do is look to see if you wrote anything, take that card out. put a new in & put it right back on the shelf. Frankly, you'd be better off going to Wal Mart to get a couple of movies out the $5 bin. It's not really a library, just a hang out spot.

Decent(ish) place, some of the staff are ok...2 to 4 of the staff members are very rude & apparently hates their job. I come here only when I'm very desperate to get to lap top for a min., elsewise I very rarely come by because of the staff's rudeness.

I love seeing the familiar faces of the librarians over the years. However I think this Library should stay open till 8pm like most of them in central Arkansas do. I also suggest that before the library opens every morning each employee needs to clean up the parking lot I know it's not their fault but the parking lot looks horrible trash beer cans bottles food it's just ridiculous and a Library shouldn't look like that! It has such a very beautiful back part of the library. With a pond and fish but when you see the front it makes you not even want to go to the back and explore the small nature walk.

Great Library.. This library got my son homework done since everything online now.. Wonderful for teenagers trying to get through school.

I love this facility. I love the nature surrounding the building and the path. It has all of the necessities for a library. The staff is not always as helpful as I would like. I am only saying they definitely defer one to the self help tools if they can get away with not helping one personally, but when they are pressed they do help and without attitude. I can get most of the books I am looking for already available here. And if they are not available I can have them sent there so I can pick them up. All in all this is a nice facility and I lobe having it conveniently close to my location.
