Seminole Heights Library

Have a library and Seminole Heights is like having a library in the small town. You walk in. The librarian knows you and you run in to a neighbor. Sometimes the children make library come alive. Even then when the lights are out the library is alive.

Very nice library, plenty of parking, always a police officer present. Location is great as it enables high school and middle school students to have easy access for doing homework and research.
I’ve been to community organization meetings here, the meeting rooms are very nice. I also used the computers and printer to print some things and they were in good working order and all staff members I interacted with were helpful and friendly.
Glad to have it in the neighborhood!

Don’t get me wrong. I love This library! So why 3 stars? Well, let’s say you have a baby: A baby who has had a major diaper blow out in the car and all you want to do is clean that baby up ASAP. You walk into the library sure there will be a diaper changing station in this brand new, family friendly public building. Except for there isn’t one so you have to precariously perch your child by the sink and attempt to clean her up without dropping her on the floor. Can you say,” Stressful?!”
Turns out the only diaper station is upstairs and you have to get a key from staff to open it. That’s not convenient for a parent with a bathroom emergency.
As a library, they get my full accolades. The computers are ample and in working order. The book, magazine and video selections are varied and the staff is very kind and friendly.
As a public building, I think they may have forgotten who they’re serving.

A lovely addition to the Seminole Heights neighborhood. Although it’s a brand new library, the décor is reminiscent of the neighborhood. Beautiful oak, stain glass windows, tile floors, vaulted entry ways, a grand staircase; visiting the library just for the architectural view is worth your time! As a teacher, I’m happy to have this library in near the school I work at. Our students are invited to do research, study and use the library as a resource whenever they’d like.

Roaming from point A to B yesterday I came across this beautiful new library. I have been trying to locate a particular book for a book club I am in, with no luck, so I parked and went in. Beautiful! Tile floors, a lot of oak wood and bright windows, it made you want to read.
Downstairs they had a used book store where you could purchase books, on the honor system. I like that idea, making one responsible for their actions and offering a great service and not having to pay someone to man the station!
The building is 2 floors with 2 elevators and a great set of stairs to get a tiny bit of exercise in. I am embarrassed to say my library card was expired and I had to get a new one. The new ones come with a book mark and a smaller card to put on your overflowing key ring or in my case the second key ring you carry. Okay I am back legal with our public library system, but was unable to check in with Unilocal as it is not currently in the system. I found it today when I had more time and it is listed as closed. Happily I can tell you it is open and fairly empty. The Liibrarians were quite helpful and efficient. Seems the book I need can only be found on CD (old book) and it had to be ordered so I could pick it up at a library in my area.
This library did not have many books, not sure if this is because it is really new, (not sure how long it has been open) or just a funding issue. In either case it’s a bit sad, as library’s are buildings built for books!
What’s a girl to do? After having an expired library card, it kinda tells a story… read more.
