Reviews of Anderson Public Library (Library)

Cassie Werner

The Anderson Public Library is the BEST part about Anderson. The architecture is gorgeous & the new kid's area is top notch. They have kid friendly computers & Legos! The library is full service & offers a variety of media types. There are an abundance of quiet places, computers, & there's even a snack area. They host many events each month, including the Friends of Library book sale where you can buy books for next to nothing. Some of the books are a bit outdated, but they offer so many you'll hardly notice. One minor disappointment is the model train room. It's basically just for the members to enjoy & it's really not set up for public viewing. You can poke your head in there & catch a glimpse of the trains, but that's about it.

The children's area at this library is fantastic! It is kept pristine and the staff are fantastic and super helpful. We spend hours and hours here without getting bored.

Dont you dare be late! They wouldn't work with me on nothing! I had a late fee with dvds and tried to renew them over the phone, which obviously didn't work, and they wouldnt budge for my late fees. I was new to this town and always looking for things to keep the kids and i busy. I will say tho, its a nice library.

Great Library, a little hard to check things out for non-residents, but otherwise top-notch. Cafe, computers, internet, phone charging stations with USB ports!

Over half of the DVDs we've borrowed from here don't play all the way through. Sometimes we have to skip 30 minutes of a movie just to get through it, or sometimes we skip whole episodes. A couple of times it was so bad that we just had to completely give up on the rented item. When I mentioned this to the lady at the front desk she suggested I just clean the disc, as if we never even tried that........I've been working with computers daily for the past 22 years. Cleaning a scratched, destroyed disc will not fix anything. We have also received discs with such dirty, faded labels that no one could even tell that there were two seasons of a show mixed together. I have taken it upon myself to re label their discs for them (you're welcome) and have left notes about the mixed up seasons of shows. However I was disappointed, but not surprised to find that it was not fixed by the time we came to rent the next installment of the show. Not impressed. Not at all.

upon TRYING to study for a class, I was VERY upset by the noise level! Sadly the high noise level was coming from the employees who were putting away books. I may not have been able to study however, I know all about their personal insurance issues. WOW! just WOW!

I went to the childrens area one day. My 1 year old did not have shoes on. A librarian in the childrens area told me next time she needed to have shoes on. I agreed. Then, another librarian told me she needed shoes. I told her that someone else had already informed me of this and that I had agreed to put shoes on her next time, BUT that we didnt typically put our babies in shoes. We believe that it is best for them to walk without restricting the natural movement of thier feet. She began to harass me, argue with me, and question my parenting choices. She (rudely) asked me if I put shoes on her to go to the grocery store. I answered. Then the continued to ask me about other specific places in public and whether we put shoes on her. When I told her that what we did outside of the library was none of her concern she basically told me to leave. I told her (again) another staff was aware that she didnt have shoes on and we had agreed that the next time I would have shoes on her. She continued to belittle my parenting style and choices. She said I was endangering my child. VERY RUDE!
