Davis Library

Since the library was renovated, it doesn't smell musty anymore. It's usually really quiet and the kids section is really big. Lots of comfortable spaces to read. It also looks pretty new and shiny (on the inside, at least) thanks to the renovation.

This isn’t my favorite MoCo library. Positives: Lots of parking. Good location. You can check out your own books, freeing up the people at the desk. Negatives: - I wish that the Kids area was a bit more closed off. It’s awkward taking younger children to this library because the Kids area is right next to the public work computers. I think that this library could really use a discovery room, like many of the other MoCo libraries have. - I’ve seen a librarian get visibly angry because someone asked them to check out their books the conventional way. Which is just silly.

They have a kids workshop for $12 on Sunday and my 5 year old boy loves it. They have creative workstations and he learns science while having fun.

You cannot be productive in this place filled with loud homeless and rowdy children

I love this library, which has some of the most helpful librarians ever. When I presented a memoir-writing workshop here, the participants bonded so well that the workshop continued for months (which the library was happy with--that's why they asked for it!). We met in the basement and were often tempted to join the kids next door in the Kids Museum, because they were so animated and having such a great time -- learning about science through interesting hands-on activities. I have never been in the library when the computers weren't being used by at least half a dozen people, with some tables occupied by adults tutoring (I am assuming) English as a second language adult learners. Davis is the kind of library for which the "I love my library" bumper sticker was invented.
