Montgomery County Public Libraries – Kensington Park Branch

I saw the newly renovated library. The library has more study tables. There are different book areas for children, teens, and adults. A painting is being completed on the downstairs wall.
The library does look better.

The library got a makeover! The upstairs is renovated and rearranged, making it feel much bigger and more modern, at least for a public library. They now have a big open area with the children’s section in two enclosed rooms towards the back. There are a few computer stations in the middle of the room, lots of tables for reading and studying, and a few enclosed work rooms. They even have a charging station for laptops and phones, which looks very high tech!
The semi-​enclosed children’s stacks have 3 computers (for research, mom!), and the other children’s area is completely enclosed so that will keep the little ones from roaming or disturbing other patrons.
There are 4 check out desks, of course staffed by helpful librarians. The only down side is that there is no self-​checkout, so you have to wait in line.
I didn’t go downstairs to see if that had also been renovated. Stay tuned!
