Reviews of Attleboro Public Library (Library)

Toni Bates

The staff should be more diverse an attempt to work with their patrons about fees as a lot of us are already living on a fixed income. Its a community place so it should be more about a place for the community and their families.

I've always had a positive experience at this library.

Mike Wilkinson

Great library. My family uses it on a regular basis. Its a SAILS network library which means that its connected to 70+ other libraries in Southern Massachusetts. If they don't have what you're looking for they can get it from another library in the area.

I would have given more stars but for people who want to come here and get school work done,DONT! I get at times there are a lot of people here but if I’m on the third floor with headphones on I should not be able to really hear what’s going on the first floor. Children yelling and running around is really unacceptable for a library especially for people trying to get work done. Granted most of the time it’s pretty quiet it’s just for those few people who don’t have any common curtesy for others trying to get their work done. I wish this place had a silent floor. So people who need that piece and quiet can get what they need done.

Since I moved to Attleboro in 2001, I have been a frequent visitor to the library. I found the librarians at that time to be friendly, helpful, and polite. The staff has changed recently and my experiences have changed also. I have been accused four times of damaging books, but when I protested, the charges were removed. A few weeks ago, I took out a book Void Moon by Michael Connelly. I noticed that the book was in very poor condition, but he is one of my favorite authors, so I did take it out. When I returned it three weeks later, I was notified that I had been charged $25 for damaging the book. I sent Mr. Avery a letter telling him that (1) the binding was so loose it was barely keeping together, (2) the plastic cover was dirty and stickyi, (3) the whole book was riddled with all sorts of stains and (4) it was published in 1999. . I have just received a curt letter from a director telling me that I have been blacklisted (my term) from all libraries belonging to the Sails network. I can go on line and loan a book through Nook, but cannot get any physical books. I lived in Dedham for 43 years and this is my first unpleasant experience with a PUBLI C library.. I will not be going back. To make something good of this sorry mess, I have donated $25 to the ONE FUND. Am I the only one to be targeted this way?

I first of all just want to say that my best friend is a book. I do still prefer the paper books over the e-read ones.The Attleboro and Seekonk Libraries are my favorite libraries. They offer so many great events for children and adults. I find all the employees there friendly and always very helpful.

the first thing we did when we moved back to Attleboro was get library cards. From 1976 to now, the APL has been my refuge and main resource for information I needed to know. Through it all I've seen the library grow and evolve. The APL is truly a community treasure.

This library is the best. They have extensive collections of blu ray discs and dvds. Not to mention they have lots of video games. The librarians are very helpful, and they have book clubs too.

Eric Preusser

I actually received someone on the other end when I called, and not a recording. I was delightfully shocked! Thank you for such a personal touch.
