The toddler area have many books to share
Well organized and free WiFi, thats the only reason im not giving it one star. Librarians are very rude, don't try very hard to help you. Very loud and obnoxious. Dont come here if you expect a quiet place.
Do not come study here.Teenagers come here after school eat, drink, sing loudly, dance and yell inside the library. Those are appropriate things for any living thing to do just not at a library. Staff does NOTHING about the situation. The library has horrible work stations that wobble and the bathrooms are disgusting.
Well organized, clean, with free WiFi. They reach out to little ones and teens at this branch to try to cultivate future library-goers. Although librarians nowadays hope we will use the tools provided to find what we want, these librarians are helpful if your request is specific or if you indicate you don't know how to use the computers. One at Dana Branch went above and beyond recently, researching how to connect my Nook ebook reader to their system so I could download library books. She patiently worked until she got it right for us--all with a cheerful smile. Today I went in and heard young children conversing about books in their area, but not loudly, and there were a number of adult patrons working quietly on the eight or so computers. Maybe it depends on the time of day but I haven't noticed inappropriate noise levels at Dana Branch. Have I just been lucky?Gone is the irritated librarian saying "Shh !!!" at the slightest noise, and who'll kick you out if she thinks she sees you chewing gum. If we want libraries to go on existing, we may have to deal with this level of noise: coffee-shop-without-the-music. The media are still at the library, but if we're looking for real peace and quiet, we might have to take the books/etc home.
Ughhh... I live very close to this library, so it pains me that I can't write a good review. Every time I come here, I have to talk myself out of throwing a fit. Why don't librarians keep the peace anymore? When I was a kid, they would kick you out if you were out of line. Is this the price we pay for technology? Or have we as humans really become so boorish? You can have conversations on your phone INSIDE. Your children can scream. Teenagers can eat and drink and yammer away OUT LOUD. Without a word from the staff. WHAT HAPPENED TO SOCIETY? No wonder people flip out. Libraries used to be sacred. I guess no one reads books anymore so they have to allow jerks to run amok so people can keep their jobs. I guess I should be grateful we still have a library at all, right? If you just want a book, I guess it's fine for just running in and checking it out (though the self-service kiosk has been broken for a long time now), but don't plan on hanging out here for some peace and quiet if you want to study or just read. (Why do they allow food and drinks around books!?!) Oy vey!
