Eva Perry Regional Library

This is a great library. The employees here are always friendly and do t mind helping my kids find books. If for some reason a book is already checked out, they always offer to order one for them. They also gave several story times for kids. Wifi speed is good also.

One of the BEST libraries in Wake County! These days, it’s so hard to find actual libraries, a lot of them are basically high school libraries that allow the public to come in. Eva Perry is a standalone library with a great selection.
The shelves are stocked and you can easily have a book held or transferred to this library from anywhere else in Wake County. Also, there are TONS of events for children and I am constantly seeing parents bring their young ones in during the day (which I think is great as kids need to learn the magic of books!). Now, because this is such a great location for kids to go to, it isn’t exactly the quietest library out there. Kids forget to use their inside voices and easily get excited. Most of the time, it’s quieter during the day and once school lets out, that’s when the after school events start, so that’d be a good time to take a break from your studies or to relocate.
Other than that, I love Eva Perry Library. There are several helpful librarians in the front as well as a self-​checkout counter (conveniently located near the hold/​pickup shelves) in case the line is too long.

It love this library. It’s great for audio tapes (husband regularly uses these since he has a very long commute to work) and I love the children’s area… great place to hand out with kids. I really love the magazine exchange/​recycle area! it is just inside to the right of the front door. bring your magazines here and take more. Fir the most part you can find all types of magazines and if you don’t find anything of interest new day, the next you might find tons! it just. Great way to recycle and try out different mags. Fun! I also like the easy self check out.

What a great library! I stopped buying books because I can ALWAYS get whatever I want to read here. Even if I am 23^rd in line to get the book, I will be contacted within a few days to come and pick up my current bestseller selection.
The only downside: They don’t have an audio or video section. When I loved in CA, I used to borrow cds and dvds regularly. Especially for kids.

This is one of the two best libraries in the county. It’s huge, especially when you compare it to some of the other libraries in the area which amount to basically single rooms. The shelves are well stocked and feature books from genres that aren’t nearly as well represented in other libraries in Wake County.
Eva Perry’s main strength is in its selection – they have one of the most complete collections in the area. If you’re looking for a New York Times Best Seller, chances are good that they have more than a few copies, although often new and popular books are due back in 7 or 14 days instead of the typical month plus. This can be a good thing if you’re waiting for it to get back in stock, but not such a good thing if you’re a slow reader.
For area libraries, the only thing that you’ll find that even comes close to rivaling Eva Perry is the library at Cameron Village in Raleigh. If you’re like me and don’t feel like driving through the middle of the city during the day, you can head out to Apex and still find a wonderful, well stocked library that rivals anything in the city.
