Review of Louisville Free Public Library

Of all the libraries in Louisville, this is the one which has the most likelihood to have whatever it is I'm currently looking for. They've got extensive collections of CDs as well as books and records. Whenever I used to have to order a book at my old library's location, they'd order it from this one; the main one. The building is so vast that it echoes, and made of ancient, gorgeous stone.

It's in an area that is a little dangerous and desperate, so I always watch everyone carefully. But other reviewers mentioned prostitutes and I have been there dozens of times and never met even one? I am appalled by the lack of humanity from other reviewers on here; homeless people are not somehow inanimate, distasteful lawn fixtures to be complained about, worthy of down-rating the place they've chosen to try to survive near. None of them have ever even approached me, much less been trouble; the library is a temperature-controlled, public place.

As to the people working there, they've always been very cordial. They don't make exceptions, if you don't receive their emails and thus return your items late; I ended up paying quite a lot in the discovery that I shouldn't rely upon their emails. But the library staff have always been quite helpful. Apparently the library also has a 3D printer, although I'm unsure if it works.
