Probably the worst branch of the Kansas City Library. Have had multiple negative experiences, once being asked to leave because my barely walking baby did not have shoes on. Just today, a staffer was unable to locate my hold after approximately 3 minutes, told me and my stroller full of babies to come back again tomorrow rather than continue to look in the back. The list goes on and on. If it weren't around the corner from us we would no longer be patrons.

Could use a faster wifi service & also could really use an update. Great place for business meetings though.

Lol Elizabeth Schieber. Your kids are gross without shoes and can get hurt if they step on something sharp. How do you not know this? Lmfao. If the staff know they don’t have a book after three minutes of looking- They don’t have the book. If you ask them to look in the back- WHERE THEY WORK A LOT- Then yeah, you’re dumb and rude. You’re obviously an impatient idiot. Waldo library has a wide variety of books. Including comics and manga for teens! ITS ALWAYS HARD TO GET TEENS TO READ. It seems like their collection is always expanding. My dad LOVES that he can use the cds and burn them onto his iPod. It’s his favorite thing. I wish I looked more into their movie selection, they seem to have a good amount of movies from what I hear. They have soooo many activities. For kids to stay entertained, teens to stay out of trouble, and adults to get help they need. While the computer wait time can take some time- You’re probably impatient if you think it’s too long. People don’t know how to reasonably wait nowadays. Their staff is so kind!! I had a woman stay with me while the library was closing and try her best to find the WEIRDEST topic for a school project. (The book she selected wasn’t used, but it was sure as heck interesting!) They have a small, but AWESOOOOOME shelf of books that are FILM CONCEPT ART BOOKS! As an artist, I am impressed. It may not be the biggest, flashiest, or quickest library. But it values more important things: Variety, friendliness, AND FREAKING SILENCE.

The wifi doesnt work, half the time i try to open something it fails, and a vpn will disconnect you from the wifi entirely.

This is a great library for checking out books and movies plus you can use computers to access internet for your information needs.

Don't even bother, this place is useless unless you're wanting to check out a book. I had a question for a reference librarian, wanted to translate county "parcels" to latitude and longitude. Presumably this is something that is in a reference book, but nobody even tried - my question was dismissed with in a minute, and they waved at the computers. When I said that I'd exhausted own searches already I was referred to the main library downtown. I could have sworn people actually had degrees in library science but apparently they're not required by this location. Sorry, but I grew up in an era when librarians prided themselves on being able to find any particular piece of information. This was just pathetic.

Usually quiet. Shortage of computers compared to need at times. Pay to Print, bring change

Always a delight. Go out of my to go here with my boy's, who both enjoy the atmosphere, staff and amenities. Truly a breath of fresh air and community treasure.

The toy area is pretty dirty. I don't think the toys have been cleaned EVER. The legos have a layer of scum on them that is thick enough the scratch off with your fingernail, and the puppets need to be put through the wash so terribly bad. They smell and look terrible. The books in the children's area are not much better. They need a good wipe down. I think we will continue to make the trek out to MidContinent. It is much cleaner.

Small library, extremely convenient with a friendly staff.
