Reviews

The director of this library obviously hates the poor that go into the Jeffersonville IN library -- that they insist on hiding bus schedules behind the counter -- knowing probably 90% of all patrons catch the bus and would like a schedule.  They won't put them out and if someone nicely puts a sign on the bulletin board telling people there are bus schedules kept behind the desk (or leaves bus schedules on a table at the entrance),  library management will remove them.  And schedules are free!   They cost the library nothing.  It's interesting -- there are flyers and brochures at both entrances regarding anything and everything (many things I don't think most people are interested in), but the one thing many patrons would like to have is a bus schedule, which they keep "hidden" behind one of the desks in the library and won't keep them out so people can take them.  I'm sure many people don't even know they're "hidden" away and don't ask for them.  I don't understand this disagreeable attitude on the part of management, and I can only assume it's because they don't like the poor that come in, and if that's the case, I think they should work someplace else.  I guess this also explains why they won't put paper towels in the bathrooms for the public, and why they eliminated the vending area a year ago, where a lot of low income people would sit.  The New Albany and Louisville's libraries do keep bus schedules out so people can take them -- but Jeff library hides them behind the counter, like they don't want people to have them or they don't want to provide a service to the poor.  That makes no sense.  I predict after this is read by management, they will throw all their bus schedules out and act like they have none, but I do know they normally have "tons" of schedules kept in the library (in the back) but won't leave them out  -- like they should.  This makes no sense.   I think there needs to be new library management.

Beautiful building with a gorgeous fountain when you first enter the building that's great to listen to while reading.

I am tempted to give 1 star but it is a nice atmosphere visually. With that being said I've never in my entire life been to a library so loud. I guess I was mistaken that a library is a quiet place. I just attempted to study in 3 different locations in this library and had to leave all 3 because of how LOUD it was. Like place 1: group of 5 guys talking so loud I could hear hem across the room laughing making jokes like they were at the bar. Place 2: the Indiana Room, a girl comes in and gets in computer and talks to the librain non stop. Not for help just conversation about her family Place 3: people are in there talking. I'm so annoyed I just wasted my time here even trying to study. I don't mind a little noise but full on loud conversations everywhere I went is pretty infuriating. Literally went and studied in my parked car it was so bad. Tip to whoever is reading this. Designate a quiet zone and ENFORCE IT.

I don't think much of this library management -- that they did away with the lounge area -- obviously because poor people sat in there.  It's obvious the lounge area is  not needed for anything else, since it's sat empty (but door locked and no longer a lounge) for a long time now.  It seems that library management doesn't like the poor or homeless, even though they're not causing a problem.  I believe the person who ordered the lounge to be closed -- should be in another field -- because most of the patrons who come into any library are poor people.  This is a fact.  Also library management closed off the bathrooms close to where the lounge area was -- obviously stereotyping poor people and assuming something bad would happen there.  I find it  inappropriate and unfair.  If someone wanted to steal something, they could just as easily do so at the other bathroom or do so not even in a bathroom.  The lounge area served everyone and is missed.  Shame on library management for closing off the lounge -- when it was used and there were no problems when it was open.

It's a library. You probably don't know what these are anymore.
