Dimond Branch Library

This library offers a warm and community oriented ambiance, and the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable. This is a truly wonderful library. Great programming for kids too!

Coming to the diamond my bearings closer to the house easier to get to and hardly ever be crowded with even so it still enough from that got a lot of better books

I really enjoyed the Bounce Baby class. The parking is a bummer, but overall I like it. I will visit again!

4.5 stars for a wonderful children’s section including my favorite, lots of Early Readers for our preschooler who is a voracious reader. Plenty of space in the chlidrens area for sitting and reading. We went for the first time yesterday around 4:30pm and the place was busy and truly a community center for all ages and types of people. We can’t wait to return.

Nice place. It’s an older facility but the resources are still in great shape. It’s in a quiet neighborhood so it’s a small location. Elevator is there and in good condition. Plenty of computers and books!

Small older library, not your quietest library but will do. Staff is very friendly. Great for kids, parking lot is small so get here early.

THE PROS: 1. Friendly and helpful staff. 2. Well organized. 3. Neat and clean. 4. Never overly crowded.
THE CONS: 1. Ugly building. 2. Noisy. 3. Extremely difficult parking. 4. Books you’ve returned are sometimes missed by the scanners, so you find yourself receiving «overdue» notices even when you’ve returned the books.
Why four stars? Because even the last (and worst) of the aforementioned cons is outweighed by the friendly and helpful staff. They always helped me locate the «overdue» book (which was usually there on the shelf) and were apologetic about it.
I used to work in a library myself, so I know how difficult it is to keep all the details — all the books — in order. And I do tend to check out a lot of books. Good branch, all things considered.

Update: Because the library staff are so nice and helpful I changed the rating to 3 stars.
Shhhh…
This is a library…
This is not social hour, coffee shop, party room, conference room, someone’s work office, nursery room, playground…
I miss the librarian who would shh patrons and I miss the librarian who spoke softly and quietly.
This is more like a bookstore than a library. Well, ha, that’s an overstatement. There are some bookstores that are much quieter than this library.
(Sigh)…
Serenity now, serenity now.
If I was you, I would get my books and get the hell outta here …
