Also it might be wise to wear a medical face mask while attending this library because people will spread their germs by coughing and not covering their mouths causing you to have a cold or flu. Also keep your property on you at all times there are many thieves that attend this library. If you take your eye off of your property for a minute some disgruntled entitled fool might confiscate your property and you will never get it back AND little effort will be given to help you retrieve your items. No wonder why the education system and economy is awful. Sorry, there needs to be a better library environment.
The staff here is always friendly and helpful. There are generally alot of kids from the neighborhood hanging out here. I love being able to reserve books online and pick them up here.
I love the Karl Rd branch! They are friendly and knowledgeable. They are always willing to help me locate resources. What they don't have they order for you! Then they have the app! It's super convenient! You get a text to let you know items are in transit and when to pick items when ready! It's the best!
This library is in need of a major renovation. The quiet study area smells like mildew, the chairs are falling apart, the tables look really old. I understand it's probably not in the budget, but it's in bad shape. I tried to study here and I had to leave after a couple minutes because I just couldn't stomach it. I hope they somehow get money to fix it up soon.
Also too many parents drop their children off to use this library as a babysitting environment and they will run a muck in the library. This has been a long ongoing issue. This library is very noisy and the staff nor does anyone else implements quiet study. Too many people use the computers to get onto to social media and to listen to music instead of doing homework, doing job research and any other research that can elevate their minds and bettering themselves.
I went to the Karl Road location a few days ago. I went to ask a Librarian for help she told me to hold on and she would be right back. However, she never returned. I waited at the front desk for assistance for about 10 minutes. When it was my turn, I told the Librarian that the copier wasn't working properly. She told me to ask someone closer to the copier for help because they were too busy (which that area had a line too. ) I looked at her in disbelief and she found someone else to assist me. I have to say, I never experienced that kind of treatment at a library before. The Librarians at the Reynoldsburg location have always been polite and helpful. They take their time helping every individual, no matter how busy they are. I was very disappointed at the Karl Road location.
This is not a great library to get your work done. If you are a serious student and someone who wants to work and not play then this is not the library to come to. Too many(ghetto) people come to the library and utilize it as a social hour & club environment instead of using it for a place to learn and educate themselves.
