Reviews of Monmouth Public Library (Library)

Deborah Jeanne Natelson

I visit this library on average at least once a week. Not only is the library about four times the size I'd expect for a town this big, it has an excellent selection and a very fast hold system by which you can get books from other libraries in the region. There is also a large selection of DVDs, including brand new releases, old classics, and everything in between. The library is attached to Overdrive, allowing you to check out a variety of ebooks and audiobooks online. I have on several occasions asked the staff for assistance, and always received it. The staff has occasionally gone above and beyond, suggesting books and offering help. The atmosphere is overall peaceful. There's another review saying the librarians are rude. I have never found this. However, I understand how the impression may have occurred, since the librarians aren't necessarily bubbly people, and may be distracted. But once they notice you, they'll go out of their way for you. For example, if there's more than one person in line, often another librarian will pop up out of nowhere to check out your books, so you don't have to wait.

Terrible, the librarians are rude.

For a small library, this place packs a punch. There is a decent selection on hand, but there is even more options via the library system. You can search for a book, and even if it is from the library in Mcminnville, they will send it to your library to pick up. The librarians are nice and helpful. We asked about a specific kind of genre and they helped us find the section. He even came up to us a few minutes later to feel us about a local event coming up that was along the lines of the genre. Thoughtfulness is rare these days, so this stood out to me. This is definitely a whosoever kind of library. It would be good for studying or silently working on something. They have computers to use as well.

Great kids programs, lots of events, nicely designed

The Monmouth Public Library does a great job of providing a wide variety of books in the various types of genre for readers of all ages. Their participation in the Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service also allows them to provide literary resources well beyond what one would normally expect from a library of their size. Our library is always looking for ways to enhance the knowledge base of its members and it recently got some extra help in that area. The library was named a recipient of a NASA @ My Library grant. The grant will fund activities at the library between now and the "Big Eclipse" on Aug 21, 2017. Activities will be designed to teach individuals, both young and old, about the science behind a solar eclipse as they prepare for being in the Path of Totality during this once in a lifetime event. Way to go Monmouth Library!

they wont let you renew even once if people have a hold on it, i have three people wanting my book :( and they want me to pay 10 cents per day just to keep the book to finish it!!!!! its a rip off. McMinville and Salem and Portland libraries don't do this. they even have a known reputation for being rude, and now i know why
