If you are a student looking for a good place to do school or study, this place is perfect! Has a lot of great space to sit and work, as well as lots of charging ports at almost every table! The new removations are great and added way more space for people! There are about 4 different sections with tables upstairs, downstairs is more for kids, so it wont be as quiet. I do Suggest coming between 9:00am-2:00pm, that is when it will be less packed and noisy!
Pleasant, helpful staff. Lousy decor, much like an army barracks. Patrons ate allowed to make phone calls, carry on conversations and kids play computer games talling to their friends at the next table with no restraint. Very intrusive when you're there to do serious work.
The library renovation were well worth the wait. Clean facility and spacious reading areas. Some of the seating areas are still blocked off on the second floor. There's a lot of natural light from the windows and several computers for self checkout.
Beautiful facility since the remodel. Always love coming to the library just to sit and work bills and budgeting...it helps me concentrate!
Nice place to read,have a large collection of books,nice reading rooms and study rooms,nice ambience...best place in Charlotte
They spent the last year or so re-designing the whole building….and the new design is awful! It was re-built during the pandemic, and so the new design is specifically geared towards the pandemic condition. They have installed a bunch of rooms where there used to be open space, so that people can better isolate themselves from others. This also makes the library feel cramped, even though its a huge building. The lovely garden on the downstairs patio is now gone, and they have left only a tiny fraction of space for a new garden. The children’s area is likewise now cramped and has hardly any open space.
Very clean facility with an efficient process for checking out. The children's section was easy to navigate, with clear posts/labels so each child could identify where to get books for their reading level.
I haven't been to this establishment since before they remodeled and I was not disappointed when I visited today. They had someone going around wiping surfaces whether they were just doing regular cleaning or not that is something you don't really see anywhere. I needed help finding cook books and a gentleman showed me where they were and was very helpful! The place looks amazing and everyone was super friendly!
There was a recent renovation of this branch and now it looks super nice! The staff is always helpful. They keep the place clean and tidy. Thank you so much to make it such a great regional library.
With all that money and time it took to renovate, you should have stocked books instead. Two well known authors I looked for and are never available. You may have two books from the same author and the others will have to come from a different library. I will go to Matthews instead. Like the old look a lot better. Sad....
