Highland Park Public Library

Very Cool library, friendly staff and helpful. Love it.

Great place with a good selection of books and very helpful people. Quiet environment to work / study without distractions👍🏾

This place has a wide selection of books for all topics. Their staff is friendly and very nice. There is a lot for kids to do including some shows for the little kids. Has computers in good condition as well and a good variety of DVD’s to buy as well. Kids do come here after school though. Overall, this place is amazing to relax and read a book.

After reading such negative reviews, I just couldn’t resist. I had to visit. As I entered I went to the circular desk. I informed the librarian I wasn't a member and needed to use the computer. I must say I was entreated with respect and the librarian was helpful. Computer #7 was slow so then I switched to Computer #8. The server was fine but I was having interference(hackers) that slowed down my server. However, I can understand some of the reviews. Adjacent to me were two boys that was told this is a library can you keep the noise down. They were extremely loud. Did they listen heck no...I got up and said Excuse me do you think you can tone it down. They got quiet but by then the librarian spoke to them about going into the kids room. The librarian spoke to them in a respectful tone. However, it's not the Librarian job to constantly discipline these kids. I wouldn't stay for another hour not because of the noise, but how these kids failed to listen. There is a way to conduct yourself even in a library...that's why they have the kids room. I plan to make a 2nd visit.
I gave a rate of (*****) five stars because of how I was entreated.
