This is a really good library which offers alot of great programs for children. Many of the programs are free. The library is clean, organized, and I like going there.

They have amazing children programs. The gentleman over the events (at least the main guy we see) is AMAZING.

What a cool place to read a book.

Note: Changed from a 1 to a 3 star because I did enjoy most of their programs for children and their families for free/fairly cheap and staff are pretty friendly & helpful any other time. Disputed charges that had never gotten back to me about. After multiple attempts to reconcile my account I was unable to renew my material without going in which caused me to accrue late charges. I made the staff aware of the damages of the book beforehand and they set it aside but I was still charged. After multiple attempts I finally had it reconciled but they still charged me late charges for not being able to renew my books on hand. I made them aware of this.. They gave me a hard time about all of this. They have ALOT of damaged books so please be aware, check them and make sure they make the notes onto the account before you leave the library.

A wonderful learning environment for the whole family. This library has many new titles (books) but needs additional copies of newer dvd's...too long of a waiting list with only 1 copy. I would love to help out, volunteer in any capacity....story time, short skits, cultural awareness..maybe some intercultural programs could be ongoing with the appropriate holidays and celebrations. Overall, a fine, well structured library with many dedicated workers and great updated materials. Could you possibly aquire some new music CD's, for us dinosaurs who still play CD's???

Biased because I work here, OCPL tons of benefits! Literally thousands electronic resources, public computers, dozens of programs for infants all the way to adults free to attend! As well as 4 locations through the county!

My family loves the library! My children know just about all the children's librarians by name and all of them have taken the time to show a personal interest in my children. They have wonderful programs for kids of all ages even the teens. They have a lot of great family events that are perfect for kids. They work hard to make the library a fun and interesting place for kids. With so many electronic options they do a great job incorporating it into the programs. My kids love the tumble books and eBooks online as well. The programs at the library are a great way to get your children interested in books! They have the lowest priced colored copies in town. I always go to the library for colored copies! They have large selection of books and if they don't have it in they can get it from one of the other branches in Onslow county. Everyone is always friendly and kind. They have clean restrooms and the overall look of the building is neat and up to date. I only wish they would build a larger library in Jacksonville. It definitely gets crowded often.

They make the most with what little they have. Great for family's and young kids.

We've been very happy with programs and books available here. Staff has been helpful and I've taken advantage of online holds and renewals. I like the variety of programs they offer and my kids enjoy going weekly to their local library. I do wish the check out period was longer than 2 weeks. 20cent late fee per book/per day seems steep compared to other places I've lived (and on base libraries there are no late fees). . Video selection is nice but $1 rental for only 2 days, and a $1/day late fee discourages me from wanting to rent any.

I didnt like this library at all, the staff wasnt friendly or helpful at all, they had very bad attutides and a bad vibe, i guest if was that i came in to the library with my "white" boyfriend.... Thats to show u that racisitism is still alive and is still here in 2018.... Grow up and get over it, i was so uncomfortable with all the nasty stares like i had did something wrong, I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS LIBRARY AGAIN.

Nice library system, good selection of new books and many branches.

Jo Wrenn

Although it seems like the staff may be rude, they're not. The limited staff for this branch and the turnover of clients they serve, a smile will go a long way. It may seem ridiculous to ask for proof of address, but resident doesn't count. Every address in the city has one. I know you should be proud to ensure you're bringing in the proper documents to receive a library card. It's more for your protection, remember? I want to say thank you ladies and gentlemen who work at the library. They've helped me in research, and laws. Not counting entertainment reading. Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Started new printing machine...it is slow and ineffective. Employees are rude and seem irritated to answer questions. There is also no way to copy or scan items anymore, this library is far behind the times

Douglas Barmore Jr

Wish the proctors were free, but good library nonetheless :-) I've had nothing but great customer service!

Madonna Gage

Overall Onslow county library system is highly recommended and interesting to enjoy. Have a book or movie checked out.
