I tell my out of state friends that the Boise Library! is living its best life, and they are jealous.  We go there for books of course, and also teen and toddler activities, VR games, to borrow video games (thanks Library for saving us $$$!), and we love the idea that we can use a 3D printer or laser cutter if we ever think of a project that is worthwhile.  It's truly a wealth of information and experiences available to us all.  I loved the vending machine art project that was there last year, too.  Great job, Boise Library!

I really like this library and have frequented it many times. I live across town from this way and have a library about 4 minutes from me, but that one is small and usually packed with children (understandably so). 

This branch is the downtown one and who doesn't like going downtown?!? It has 4 levels-- three for visitors and the top one is offices. There are lots of tables and quiet places to go and get your studies or project completed at. It's my go-to place when I have something I need to do without my children bugging me every two minutes. 

You can rent laptops there with your credit card-- they shoot out of a kiosk which is pretty cool. I think you may need your library card, too, but I'm not too sure. 

You can take a walk around the Ann Frank Memorial that is on the same grounds or down the street for lots of other fun stuff to do. 

As you can tell from the photos that I posted today, there are people lining up to get in during the day! I thought it was beautiful!

I love the library...wonderful selection (wish they had more duplicates though...always a long wait!). Services and the self check out are awesome! My biggest complaint is that since the weather is cooler it seems to be a haven for homeless people. I was just there over the weekend and the place smelled of urine and several people lounging and sleeping in the chairs, bags full to the brim with personal items.

Too short a loan on dvds and books on cd.  Not a good selection of titles. Great staff though.

Awesome resources and great staff. You can rent robotics and laptops from them, not just books! They also let you eat there 😌
