Reviews of Forest Park Public Library (Library)

One of the first things I look for in any community is the library. This library has a real community feel, mostly because many of the staff live in the community. I moved to Forest Park from the city and I'm very impressed with the services that are offered and the media selection. If there's something you can't find the staff can request it. I could spend all day at the library and never get bored.

I recently moved to Forest Park was excited about using the Forest Park Library. I went there to study the place was filled with homeless people sleeping. Apparently they use it as a cooling center. People were on their cell phones speaking loud. The librarians look like they were afraid to say something to them. I can remember where you could go to the library and study without having to listen to somebody’s phone conversation. Very disappointed.

One of the most peaceful places at Forest Park, though, a little overcrowded at times.

This was the place where I studied for your exams. This is in the heart of Forest Park area. But the parking is a problem as it is around Chicago area. However, there was a metered parking near the place where I could park my car. This is not a quiet place, but usually space for group studies for the medical students. Their way if you homeless people who were sleeping in the library, which was annoying when they pulled the others asking for money.

Through my past 5 years living in Forest Park, I have seen the library grow in a very impressive way. My life has changed a lot in the last half decade- I was laid off, found a job again, and had my first child with my wife and bought a house. A lot of big decisions and changes a lot of people go through. Anyway, the kids section on the lower level made the transition so much less scary. My wife and I bring our daughter to their storytimes regularly, and there is no shortage of great books and DVDs to help entertain and educate her. The same can be said for the main floor. The selection of books is so good and I can order stuff from other libraries that I want too, that will come pretty quickly. I haven't been to many programs but I hope we can someday. I have only had one bad experience here but that is just that the Mens restrooms are kind of rough, but that isn't the library's fault. The taxes in OP and RF are what made us decide to come to Forest Park. At first we worried we wouldn't get all the groovy stuff they've got, but Forest Park can more than hold a candle. Good work! I love my library and you should too!

Staff is warm, friendly and competent. There is always some one to help. Computers are plentiful. There is a wide variety of programs for both adults and children. I like that they work actively to honor our local heritage
