Reviews of Howard County Library System - Savage Branch (Library)

Claudia Rivera

Amazing HiTech summer classes for Teens!!! My son enjoyed going to the weekly programming classes. He learned JavaScript one week, Photoshop the next, C++, etc. Amazing teachers and environment!!!

Wee little branch of the HoCo Library system. Not as much content, but helpful staff and generally less crazy than the other branches.

The library is great. After 4 visits, I can confirm the patrons aren't. If you feel like attending a concert where everyone is talking on their cell phones as loudly as possible or to each other so everyone for a mile radius can hear and eating food, then this is the library for you

Dissappinted by the children's class we just attended. We skipped our regular class at the Elkridge branch and drove 16 min here for what seemed like a fun class for 3 to 5 year olds called "unbirthday" from the start the teacher of the class might have woke up in a bad mood, she had a bad attitude towards the children. Bossing kids around so they wouldn't grab a pile of balloons. Does she have no training working with children at all?

Great library. Howard County has one of the best library systems in the country.

Espléndida biblioteca con múltiples recursos online. Hay que residir en el condado para tener tarjeta que permita retirar materiales y acceder a todos los servicios. Préstamo interbibliotecario también. Wifi, zona para comer y actividades organizadas. Muy bien en general.

Magnífica biblioteca publica con muchos fondos en diversas versiones (libros, CD, DVD...). Amplia, luminosa, con acceso a ordenadores con Internet gratis. Un pequeño rincón donde comer y beber y un estupendo personal la hacen un lugar idóneo para pasar la tarde.

The library is not the library like back in the days when silence and no cell phone conversations ruled, but for the most part, I'm okay with this because the public is not too bad here when it comes to consideration (Edit: the inconsiderate bunch are those with their toddlers in the AM. I don't know which group is worse the teens or the mothers of the toddlers. Like, hheelllloooo, the library is still a place where about 97% of its population is studying, tutoring, quiet things, etc. Therefore, stop coming in like the entire library is just a big playground for your toddlers! Must you keep up so much chaos and noise as though the world revolves around you and yours!?) The staff is helpful when asked for assistance. (Edit: Although helpful, the staff is not as friendly as originally thought.) A young, male volunteer only walks around talking to himself aloud and that type of behavior is creepy. He doesn't do any work the whole time unless his job is to creep the public out in the library. Other than that, I choose this library over the other 3 I've been to in Maryland. Well, it is closest to me since I reside on the Howard County side of Laurel. Oh, can't forget Sarah. She's wonderful. So friendly and helpful. She walked around giving out Chick-fil-a meal coupons just because school started back, "Happy Back 2 School day she said. Lol. Thank you!! (Edit: Well, thanks for the coupon, but my impression of Sarah changed completely this past Saturday when I heard her telling a co-worker that they shouldn't speak unless the customer speaks first. Well, dang Sarah, I disagree. You are the ones employed in the customer service industry so you all should act like it. You all should make some eye contact, smile and/or greet. Stop walking around, slamming the doors of the offices-because that's where the majority of you are for the shifts- pretending to be working. It is as annoying & inconsiderate as the toddler parents and the overgrown, overly noisy teenagers running around like they're in the school playground and the hired security just stands in the center of the room like he or she is scared!! Smh **This review and rating is most current. Previously gave 5 stars**

Awesome STEM Center. Just finished a Java script class.

Everything I'd expect in a library. Clean organized building with ample parking. I have no complaints, just a small suggestion...would be great if the computer keyboards and tables were sanitized regularly. Hiwever, this suggestion applies to all HC libraries.

Gaurav Soni

Courteous staff and friendly environment. They also schedule classes for kids. A good collection of fiction and non-fiction books along with huge digital library. They also have workstation and printers.

Taking advantage of the free STEM courses is a great idea! Friendly instructors and relevant subjects such as video editing and Javascript.
