Reviews of Lebanon Public Library (Library)

Sarah Roberts

No communication. They sent me to collections for a book I already returned. Their negligence cost me my credit. They did not even have my correct email.

Excellent service & facilities great staff

Kyle Kempf

For me, this is one of the greatest libraries I have been graced to set foot in. It is an architectural marvel of the world, a contender for man-made Wonders of the World. The design of so near perfect I have witnessed people break out in tears just glimpsing it in their rearview mirrors driving past. The service is above and beyond what a human even deserves. Specifically the Pages of this great library. The articulate fashion of their book placing techniques, and the manner in which they walk is unimaginable; placing them as some of the most deserving minimum wage workers to ever live. If you want to be happy, heck, if you want your descendants to be happy, get a book from this place.

Girl sitting at the reading program table was very rude to my kids. She was typing on her computer and didn’t want to be bothered. Made me uncomfortable. If you don’t know how to treat kids please work somewhere else.

I love the fact that I can come here and use the WiFi and read with little to no disturbances. My only complaint is that there are so many activities that go on during the business hours where it is hard to concentrate at times. I am currently homeless and pregnant, so I go here to utilize the wifi for resources and appointment scheduling. People are always talking, on their phones and in general, there are always kids here playing, screaming, laughing and talking. That's all fine. I love the kids the one tiespecially.But the one time i answer and urgent call for possible housing assistance that I have been waiting for I am told to leave the library. As I said, I'm 8mnths pregnant, and homeless. I have all of my belongings with me. Someone was just on their phone across from me before this. I just don't understand! I had to tell the housing lady that I had to get off of the phone because the librarian was talking in my face as I was attempting to type some important information. The lack of empathy is appalling. And mostly women work here.

Today we got our library cards and it should have been a good day for bibliophiles like my family. I had to usher my boys out as the woman doing some sort of children’s time was singing a racist nursery rhyme.

Brenda Baumen

The library should change it's hours Monday - Thursday 10:00- 7:00 Friday 10:00-8:00 Saturday and Sunday 9:00 - 6:30 this would let more of the people that work have a chance to come to libaray. Also have teenager night on Friday where teenager get to see Classic movie age 13 to 18 years old

Rusty Allison

This library is wonderful and the staff are so willing to take time and help and do with a cheerful smile. The lower level Tech Center is the great resource with everything from college prep classes (which my daughter is taking) to technology classes to quiet computer and study areas. Just down the hall is the Story Time room where little ones can have a Dr. Seuss, VeggieTales or other book read to them or work with their hands in the crafts room. I can't say enough good things about this delightful library!

Bbsus Smith

WOW! ... what rude staff, called to ask if the library was still hosting events today due to the weather & the lady on the phone gave me such a smartaleck attitude! Definitely not a good representation of your establishment!

I always love coming to the library. They have a great selection and they no longer charge late fees! They have the option to send out a text when your books are due back. Their summer reading program is so fun, they change it every year to a new theme and the kids are so excited to get started. The prizes are great and follow the theme for the year. Last year was building blocks, the kids got block erasers, note pads, etc. A few years ago it was art themed and the kids got a whole set of markers and velvet posters to color. The last prize is always a tshirt. It's fun to see kids of all ages wearing these around town. The library has a cute program for younger preschool aged kids in the mornings, a story and a craft.

Mary Zellmer

Open 7 days a week and what a building! Built in 1909 and of course additions. High ceilings with a solid and airy feel. Wonderful place to read newspapers, magazines and of course books. There are outside areas to read. The location is terrific and plenty of parking. Friendly staff! Enjoy!

Michael Esch

Grew up going to this library. The staff is very friendly and are happy to help. The updates to the building have been great! Love the lounge in the basement (only for adults).

Gun free zones creates everyone there to be put into an unsafe environment. A majority of all shootings happen in these unsafe zones falsely named safe zones. 2nd amendment rights are here to protect us all. I gave two stars due to how nice the people are that worked here.They would of only received one star due to the unsafe environment they force children to be put into.

Jeanine Duprey-Carr

Friendly staff which is super helpful. Library has extended hours during the summer.

Austin Halsey

This is a phenomenal library. It has the downtown look the historical crowd loves, but also contains a great tech department downstairs that keeps it relevant for the new age crew. Community members can spend time 3d printing, taking a vast array of small classes, joining a book club or perusing the numerous rows of books!

Andrew Fuhriman

Nice clean public library. It's small, but they have free movie rentals which is nice.

Lori Bishop

Great location right in the heart of town. Engaging staff! 10 minutes before closing but they were still helpful and showing the library to a new resident!

Ken Saylor
