A beautiful and quiet library. A great place to do some reading, some research, or simply to charge up your devices. Plenty of outlets and very comfortable chairs. Just don't fall asleep please, these nice folks may be forced to ask you to leave.
The Eugene Public Library has served the city of Eugene well since I was a child. Once only a fraction of the size - about ten years ago the build a modern and much lager building for the community. Cheap and located need public transportation!
The Eugene library is awesome. Great selection of books, CDs, and movies. I really enjoy the foreign language section as it is large and extensive. There is underground parking and I have never had an issue with parking. There is also the Bethel Branch and another branch near Sheldon High School. ...
The Eugene Public Library is a great resource but this google map shows its location in the Lane County Fairgrounds, not its actual location.
This is a beautiful facility. The staff are friendly and the patrons are quiet. The residents of Eugene should be proud of what they have accomplished!
Seems to be a well-stocked library, except that their staff take their library cards VERY seriously..over emphasis on rules rather than empowering citizens to access information.
The bathroom's are to small..and people stand and look at you throw the door when you got your pants down....and the secerty guard harass,s ...you every 5 minutes.... And the A.C. dose not work.....and people think it is OK to talk on the cell phone..when you are trying to read....its OK to talk lou...
my kids love this place it has all their favorite series' and there is also an adult section
Good in nearly every respect, however people loud talk here almost as a rule. Bring headphones.
Great to know places like Eugene Library keeping american companies like AOL in business.
If you don't like homeless people you should mail an angry letter to Ronald Reagan.
Staff could explain what they mean a little better when telling me I m not aloud to study there. I should have understood but I havnt been to a library in 10 years and I live in the woods so I forgot about the COVID thing and just needed some WiFi but wasn t able to get any
Standard, run of the mill, small-town library with the typical do-nothing, resentful staff common to the Eugene area. As with any reading establishment, you'll probably be able to find something you like, but as for a research facility forget it. Their catalogue isn't large or varied enough. And ...
One of the best libraries I've been to in this country.
Love this library. I have lived in many different cities and countries and this has always been one of my favorites. =)
A beautiful place and nice book, audio & video selection. Wonderful contribution to the community. Just put attention to returning dates, late fees could cost you considerably.
They show great responsibility and respect to everyone there.
Great library with lots of special amenities and events. Friendly staff and nice bright building.
This building is a massive improvement over the old location. Turned it from a typical city thing into a prominent and must visit feature of Eugene. And the building was very well built to accommodate most future tech advances into its architecture. Only drawback is the high number of homeless and o...
I will not use this library again. Lots of transients use this library due to its proximity to the bus station. The odor of the library is disgusting! Too bad because the library is a very beautiful building. Parking is ok but only 2 hours or pay before 5. I would recommend using one of the sate...
This library is a very unsafe place for ethnic minorities. They hosted an event Dog Tale Time right next to the Japanese bookshelf, blocking patrons access to Japanese children s books. Their volunteer staff who was in charge of the event became very hostile after we complained about blocking acc...
The only complaint I have is there's a TV screen on the first floor showing ads. It's really annoying to just want to sit in that nice area and having that ruin the view.
Good library, have a lot of books and they have private study room, computers and more. The library is clean but since it's public library many people go there just chilling and sleeping. Parking is not convenient.
The downtown Eugene Library is very nice. It also has a huge selection of reading materials.
We are blessed to have a public library in Eugene, Oregon that is tolerant and understanding, as the homeless population increases. The staff here and the Security Officers are very friendly people who do their best daily to provide a safe, clean, quiet atmosphere...
I've been going to libraries almost weekly for the last fifty years. I love libraries, the availability of information and entertainment. And the Eugene Public library is a fantastic library. The 'new' building is spacious and welcoming, a real community gathering place. The staff are friendly and h...
this library is in a nice location and it has friendly staff and great services. but there needs to be less homeless people sleeping and eating everywhere. also people need to learn respect and be quiet.
A spacious modern building with plenty of resources available to the public.
We love it there! So many fun activities that go on! Best library I've been to
The best library in the world i think. The place is very well keft. Love the that it's quite calmly and i can study without dictations around me. They have a bullying concept. There is security there if anything goes wrong. There understanding when something is wrong and they try to answer your ques...
After being very pleased with the library, I was bothered by books placed on Reserve showing "pending" since January 3rd. I finally got notified they will be available in the next 3-5 days.
This library is huge and very up-to-date. It also has a maker space upstairs.
When the library is closed there is Wii fii, however the internet quality is por to fair, and when I use it Thier my connection, is week enought to cancel the connection you supply. Please upgrade it. Thank you kindly
The building is stunning AND functional, the staff are helpful and kibd, parking is a cinch and, most importantly, the selection of books is broad and ever-expanding.
Great place. Access to computers (which were thankfully upgraded recently) is quite nice. And the occasional paper book I read (mostly use Kindle these days) they are sure to have it. Great atmosphere here been going since I was young. Only complaint is that the WiFi, while nice to have, is insanely...
It's a great library but watch out for the over zealous security. They like to bend rules so grabbing a copy of the policy/rules sheet will go along away if they decide you look like trouble.
Its okay...I like the library visually and architecturally its very nice..... but i wish they would do something about all the truly foul smelling likely homeless people who go in there to grab a book and sit on a chair and not read it, but use the place as a warm nap spot. Aren't there shelters in ...
One of the best libraries I ve ever been to. Beautiful architecture, a great wide selection of books and it s HUGE!!! Absolutely love this place.
Please update your holiday hours on your website. It's not that much to ask.
Transients/Homeless laying on the floors all over the enclosed front entry. Dirty. Smelly. Disgusting. Ordered a small coffee (which was horrible and costed 6 bucks) I didn't make it all the way inside the library because I was afraid to leave my bike locked up outside. Perhaps once you get it it's...
I just visited the first floor. It's for the kids reading.
The best Library in the state of Oregon. When I first moved to Eugene the library was very small tuck away behind it seemed like it was just one of the offices, could have been a law firm or something similar. Thanks Eugene.
Lots of computers both internet and offline publishing.
The stench of homeless people is overpowering.
They have a libraries are for everyone campaign going. I guess they don't care about public standards of hygiene and behavior.
Plenty of nice tables, light, books, computers, wireless internet.
The location does invite louder people at times. I usually bring my mp3 just in case someone thinks they can start talking.
3.9/5
I rate Knight Library 4.6/5
The library is great and has a wonderful selection, but sweet Lord, DO NOT put anything on hold. It will take them days to get it to you and you literally cannot just ask someone to grab it from the back. My estimated wait time for an audiobook is now five days. Mind you, it was in the shelf when I ...
$125 for a frigging library card! And if you're a renter rather than a homeowner YOU CANNOT GET A CARD! Add to this homeless tweakers at every other table, and you have a library that's best avoided! (Parents, please keep your children close by, because many of the scumbag homeless people that frequ...
Online reservations works great. Fantastic selection and location. Parking is easy down in the parking garage. Lovely architecture and open spaces. Special events can be really special. Computer lab and digital resources are on par with some bigger cities. Staff is friendly and helpful. Recommended.
Super fancy looking! The security is pleasant and there are a ton of activitys to do here. They also have charging stations pretty much at every spot to sit. The bathrooms are always clean as well.
With the smelly career-panhandling homeless and undisciplined children whose do-nothing mothers let them yell and run around like it's a playground, the library should be renamed B&B Library.
That stands for Bums & Brats Library!
Really enjoy the library and free library card/internet access for up to 3 hours at a time!
If your too much of an ignorant prude to even be around less fortunate people, how about you go buy a book instead of borrowing one that has been handled by dozens of other PEOPLE. Living in eugene there are...
It's a beautiful building, has friendly staff, and just about every book you'll ever need. It's great place, and in a convenient location.
Best library I've been to. There are a ton of activities even during the pandemic. The staff are always super nice and helpful.
This library has an amazing children's section with weekly activities for kids of all ages. In addition, the staff is incredibly helpful, patient, and friendly. They also have two free electric car spots.
My 1st time I needed the use of the computers. When I went to print, it wasn't very self explanatory and paying seemed to be an issue too. I kept having to approach the desk for help an I'm pretty savvy with electronics. Alas, I need to return to print things.. Also, workers there when you walk in s...
I love this library! It's really tall (for a library!) with 3 levels. It's got a bunch of computers which you can use for 2 hours each day for free with your library account. You also get a library2go account which is mostly what I use. The physical books and media can be reserved and managed online...
This lirbary has some of the worst staff I have ever seen. They are unwilling to help when there is a problem and they just let kids run around and scream, they also do nothing about people touching service dog and let cat in as service animal and when you complain they just let it go. They also all...
I love Eugene library. It's full of nature light and always inviting.
I've lived in both medium-size and major cities and this is definitely the best library I've been a patron of. My home town of Salt Lake even won national "Library of the Year" awards, but it doesn't even compare to the Eugene Library. I've never seen a library with so much technology and incredibly...
It's a really nice library, with quality facilities and a well-designed, open architecture.
The library staff, especially the security guards who are supposed to maintain order, are increasingly ambivalent toward the troublemakers who frequent the downtown branch. While they're pretty spontaneous at waking up the dozers who nap there, they do absolutely nothing about the ones who act up at...
What a beautiful library! Everyone is extremely kind and helpful. Many programs are offered such as ESL tutoring and a maker's space. I really utilize the capability to access e-books and audio books from my mobile devices quite often. Thank you, Eugene Public Library.
Parking in the basement is free when I park in the Disablility parking spaces w/ my Disability Packard. I can stay at the library as long as I want. Th. Library is beautifully built. Three floors to choose from. My favorite is the 2nd floor where I have access to computers for three hours daily. Lar...
After 75 years since the Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed and 54 years since the Civil Rights Act was enacted, City of Eugene still illegally treats Asians AND LOCAL MINORITIES like subhumans who are less than dogs. Their cultural insensitivity and ignorance are appalling - slightly edited restate...
The staff here are really nice and are always willing to help you if you need help with something, and if the staff you ask a question to is not able to help you, then they will help you find someone who can. This library is enormous ( personally, I think that the word enormous is a understatement i...
I rent a room in a house that apparently does not pay property taxes in the city of Eugene and cannot renew my library card. I don't own the house and live and work in Eugene but cannot have a library card unless I pay a monthly fee which is more than spotify and Netflix combined monthly. This outra...
Lazy staff with no respect whatsoever. If you attempt to make a complaint they ban you. If you try to make a complaint on the phone they will literally hang up on you all day without consequence. If you appeal a banning they will ban you longer. We need to stop paying for this. Privatize it I gauren...
I love getting books from here and will continue to get books from here but why is it that you have a book drop off that is only open when your open? At that point I might as well go in and drop the book off inside! Geez...
Ladies in the childrens library, act higher than thou. Not cool.
Books and dignity! The staff is great and very helpful. I always love to find a cozy warm place in the PNW to read a book. They also have the best lending library with great litterally finds free to anyone.
Very service-oriented, responsive, friendly with impressive resources, and serious about making Eugene a great city. I am so proud of our Library!
A great library that does wonderful things for our community. They have a children's section with many community events such as readings and other activities. Young adult section has recently been remodeled and is a great place for teens to socialize and read good books. Magazines and other events a...
A quiet place to be educated, meet new people and centrally located in downtown.
Unable to renew newer books, was never told that upon getting a card. God forbid if you have a busy life and can't read a book in two weeks time. Would be nice to allow longer time to keep the books especially during the summer. Also, the stairs from the underground parking was disgusting and it sme...
Wasted a whole dollat to find out that the library isnt actually very open. Cheers!
This place is an easy way to lose a few hours. I also love that right at the book return spot, you can stand in the circle and hear acoustics nobody else can hear. I also love how you can see over the first floor from the second floor balcony, and they even have a small playground for kids! Excellen...
Such a well organized library, this is one of my favorites.
By far the worst library I have been a part of! They blocked my account without any warning or notification. I have wasted hours trying to reactivate my account. I have given them many proof of address but apparently it isn t enough.
Love it always have...you can tell a lot about a town by its tallestbuildings and the public access to knowledge...its about time we meet greet and acknowledge the need for public space, dunn
This library is fine. No complaints on my end.
All of you classist yuppies complaining about how homeless people are such an eye sore to you...just...go home? That's something they don't have. Them being an eye sore to you doesn't justify your poor prig attitude. Go home.
This library brings so much memories and their books go from picture books to Julsverne.
Extremely restrictive internet access. They allow watching cat videos on youtube and playing mind destroying flash games on facebook, but do not allow the playing of educational games like minecraft online. Theres really no reason for this, someone playing minecraft all day might use 15 megabytes of...
Went in today to renew our library cards. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Shout out to Keith for taking the time to fix a financial discrepancy so quickly! It made our day to have it taken care of and an extended 5 months of service because of the Covid year. Grateful for this fantastic ...
