Reviews of Southwest Branch - Weber County Library System (Library)

Mackenzie Dickerson

This is a nice library, but when I went to sign up for a card, the girl at the desk told me I only needed an ID to get one. So I went out to my car and got my ID, came back in and she told me I also needed another proof of my legal name... should have told me that before I went out to my car with 3 kids and came back. I probably won’t come back. Would give zero stars if I could!

So my overall experience at this library has been pleasant, besides the fact that the 2 occasions I've brought a soda drink from maverick I've been confronted that no outside food/drinks allowed and was even told I was warned once by another librarian. Since than I have abide to their rules yet every time I come here which is at least 5-7 days a week I consistently see people bringing fast food in and eating as well as bringing their own food from home and also people bringing in soda beverages from maverick, MC Donald, etc and they are never approached or asked to participate in this apparent rule. Please explain to me why they would pick and choose who they want to enforce this rule against. Also as I type this, a women is eating subway within 10 feet of the same librarian who's name is Jason who told me that specific rule, that walks around like the library security intent on enforcing rules rather than a helpful hand willing to assist you.

We absolutely adore this library! So much to do, so many books. The kids area is top notch. I love the checkout and check in. Pretty much everything about it is awesome.

Great for kids and families. The library has a large kids section with a play area where it seems mom's are always getting together for play dates. The selection is fabulous and the check in and out process easy and quick. The library often has amazing activities going on for people of all interests and ages. It has many study areas for those of a more academic and professional nature also. There is a decent cafe, probably the least amazing part but it is nice to be able to get some food. The bathrooms are always in excellent cleanliness. I only wish it opened earlier in the day

Awesome library, I also painted some of it working for Stauffer painting and my buddy Dax Lunn

The library is no longer the library that I once knew, it has more or less become an exclusive glorified computer club/internet cafe with a few books. The process in which requires signing up for and reactivating a library card is by far more frustrating than dealing with the DMV. I remember when your library card never expired, now it expires every 2-3 months, and it's important that you live in Weber county otherwise they don't give a damn about your situation. I have never left a library empty-handed and enraged before today, so I will avoid this one at all costs.

Great selection of books. Usually have what I'm looking for. Great staff. The work the put in to build this library is outstanding. Thank you also for building it closer to my home since I don't drive. I usually go there everyday as home away from home to find peace and quiet.

Aaron Kelly

Great library, very modern with lots of books and stuff for the Kids to do.

Jodi Smith

We have now been to the remodeled north and main branches and even though they are closer, the southwest branch is still our favorite because it’s open and spacious. The kids section is open and spacious and the junior chapter books and books on cd are aligned in a square which make for easy viewing and selection. The other branches the shelves are far too blocked in and kids cannot reach the titles!

Nice but wasting upstair space

Ben Gerritsen

This is a brand new library. This is a very, very large library. There is a big children's library section. My boys would love having this as their library.

Toni Lee Garner

I love this place! We go weekly and never get tired of it. They have such a wide selection of books, audiobooks, movies and cds. If the item you are looking for isn't at their library they get it from other libraries, which means an almost unlimited amount of what anyone could ask for. Checking out and returning is convenient and easy. The staff has always been pleasant to visit with and knowledgeable when we have questions. The building, itself, is amazing and kept immaculate. I don't have one bad thing to speak of about this library!

Michelle Beus

When you want to recheck out the same book and someone else has asked for it. You can't recheck out the book unless you want to pay late fees for everyday that you are late or you can put a hold on the book and get it back when it's due from the other person in 3 to 4 weeks. Tried to contact the library and got the run around.

Madison Bailey

so beautiful. Staff is so kind and helpful

Architecture is impressive. Book collection is diverse. I can also checkout digital book with their library card using kindle on amazon. Plenty of computers for the people to work on tax and whatever print tasks at hand. A library in keeping with modern times.

Josh Ashdown

This is a great library that is clean, well stocked and staffed with excellent people. There is a little of something for everyone here.

Holli Peterson

We always have a great experience. My kids love the ladies that do discovery time.

Ben Johns

Brand new clean building with plenty to do for the whole family in. My four-year-old loves running up and down all of the displays that have been put into interactively help kids get excited about reading. They have a why it's range to select from and it's in a brand new building. They also show art exhibits and movies at this location on certain nights. You can rent old films on DVD hear such as Casablanca and Citizen Kane. It's a good cheap family night to go have fun for everybody.

daniel fuertes

Cambria Hazard

Has a great variety of books and movies. Love all te family friendly older movies they have. It’s a great place to study—fast WiFi, snack bar, tables. I also love all their pamphlets with book recommendations for elementary grade levels and other genres, such as multicultural children’s books they recommend, all with the call number on them. So helpful for finding books for me and my kids!

Felipe Ley-Candelas

Library is decent but many of the staff are not friendly nor welcoming. The main library has friendly and helpful staff. I was disappointed with the Roy branch.

Janel Hulbert

Jacob Reader

I have gone here occasionally it has a very nice location next to about 3 schools with a good amount of space inside. plus it has a place to get food inside if you get hungry. after school it can be nice to go there and bring some money to get food relax and do homework.

Dragacorn

The staff is great and they have almost every book you could need.

Dan Berkholder

I work here quite often. The windows are so nice. It feels like the entire back of the building is windows. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Easy to find what I'm looking for. I highly recommend you support your local library.
