Deschutes public library Reviews

I just wish in the Redmond Branch that you would limit SOME computer Internet area for adults only. The kids play online war games and talk loud and yell at each other during the game while they are online. This is VERY disruptive, and I deserve to have quiet while I'm using the library, too, please. I always ask them nicely to please be quiet, but they make fun on me and just keep on talking loud and acting out. It would certainly be easy enough to limit the library card to over 18 years for these adult areas. There are already teens Internet areas and kids Internet areas for these kids to use, so why are they using the Internet lab and behaving so badly? They also have access in school. On the other hand, I do NOT have affordable access without the public library, which I am VERY grateful for (and happy to pay taxes for); however, this makes my experience very poor in the library. I've complained about this for years, now, and nothing is ever done. Please think about doing something about this. Thank you!

Awesome services. Lots of locations and convenient hours. they rock!

I opened a book a few years back and some one vomited in a book and left it there.

I am very unhappy about my recent visit to this library. Some of the employees must not realize that they are in a CUSTOMER SERVICE position and are suppose to be kind to the guest/customers and be willing to help them in a polite and courteous fashion. If you are looking for some grumpy old women look no further than the Deschutes library. There have been numerous times where I have visited this library to use the computer and printers and I cannot believe how ill-mannered, impolite, discourteous and unpleasant these employees are. It was just an awful experience and I will not be coming back.

Great resource, helpful librarians, beautiful building. With lots of online materials to download--language lessons, magazines, music...

The best library in bend. Unfortunately the architecture can make the second floor loud.

Amazing library, super helpful librarians, huge children's section. We love it here.
