Nice library, they got a lot of activities for young children, and we could also borrow their bike. However, for me, as an Asia lady, I could not find the right bike. Some are too tall and some are too tiny.
I love this library system. I was afraid when I moved to the area 4 years ago I had left behind a great library system for a mediocre one but not so. The more I explored the Athens County Public Libraries the more unique opportunities I discovered. I love the book sales, free concerts, free classes, how helpful and friendly the staff is. If they don't have something you want, they work very hard to either find it for you from another library system or they purchase it for the library system. When I talk to people who live in other states and even other countries about what I am able to attain at our local library they are jealous. The libraries they have access to don't compare to this one. Thank you Athens County for your great library system.
Be sure to check out the monthly book sale on the second Saturday of every month from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Most books are thirty cents each. Great bargains, and a huge selection.
There is a terrific selection of books and movies, the staff picks are all great choices and can save time, they will also special order items from other Ohio libraries if you want
The librarians are incredibly nice. I miss the library while it was closed during the pandemic.
I would LOVE to give this library 5 stars because I love the space and location and would if the staff and patrons were polite! As I sit and listen to another rude patron on their cell phone pretending that the beloved public library is their own PERSONAL office I felt compelled to write a review. Even though I have complained to the library staff, nothing can be done for the rude people in the area. When I did say something about the disruptive phone conversations, I was told by library staff that technically this library is NOT a "quiet" library. I have come to this library on many occasions experiencing the same noisy atmosphere. I split my time between Alden and here and won't be coming back to this library.
The building is clean and comfortable; the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The library is one of my favorite places in Athens.
Everyone's been nice and the board games are fun. Wish the place had free sign in computers, though
Amazing library! A nice spot to go and study or just chill. I love the ambience and decor. The staff are also very friendly!
The library is very big and with a lot of books, video, kids' entertainments.
