Reviews

Seattle Public Library system has a huge collection, but you won't find much of it at a time in this small neighborhood branch. Still, even with a limited selection and limited hours, it's easy enough to order things from other branches or place holds online and you will be alerted when the item is available.

The building itself is well-maintained (recently renovated) and lovely. It's a historic building with manicured landscaping that complements the Japanese-influenced PNW style. The interior seems reasonably well-organized for browsing, but again, if you're looking for something specific, you're better off requesting it online.

One nice feature here is a wall of current magazines (for reading only inside the library -- you can't check them out) which has a pretty wide variety.

They've got a modern inventory control/self-checkout system in use that reads individual RFID codes from multiple items simultaneously, but they combine that with the ultra low-tech book drop slots outside the building or in the hall which always make me feel like the DVD case is going to pop open or the book is going to be damaged or whatever. (I really prefer scanning my returns in or handing them to a human.)

I go there all the time do my book writing and songwriting. Love this library the most.

This is a lovely and small library. Staff is very helpful. Award winning design with a Japanese touch in landscape and architecture. A favorite.

This library is very small (even though Magnolia is a big, residential neighborhood) but the staff here is super helful and friendly. Very nice look to the place, the computer area isn't usually full and the children's area is pretty cool!
