"A VERY small neighborhood library, but with all/most the features of a big library"
"This is a great library"
"Today was the first day I've been to this library I stopped by because I had lost my library card and couldn't remember any of my information"
"This is a great looking library"
"Of all the libraries that I've been to here and about the King County area, this is by far the most pleasant library that I have been to"
A VERY small neighborhood library, but with all/most the features of a big library. They have a toddler/ little children's area, a teen's area and study room's (not sure about study room's anymore, looks like they are turning the study room's into a staff's break room). They have featured events for the public, there is a poster board to post job's or other things, they also host tutoring programs for kids and adults and it is a comfortable temperature; not to hot not to cold, unlike some libraries that are way to cold even in the summer. If you are looking for a QUIET place to read or study this is probably not the place for that. With such a small space, sound really travels in the library and there are often crying toddler's and children playing in the kids area. But if you like a good hangout or gathering area for whatever the occasion then this is the place for you. It's a really NICE small neighborhood library that serves the local community well.
This is a great library. Excellent architecture. Very clean and organized. Had tons of resources for emergency shelters, bus routes, etc., for domestic violence victims. Had the sharps collection box moving with research. Doing a great job with its hires. I like the SPI library cards but they're very flimsy. I appreciate that Snohomish and King County are working together in a reciprocity agreement for libraries. Unfortunately Everett is not part of that information sharing and it shows. Regardless, an excellent library with a lot of great, new books and they actively purchase popular books so people who want access can get access to them. Good job Beacon Hill SPI.
Today was the first day I've been to this library I stopped by because I had lost my library card and couldn't remember any of my information. The nice woman behind the counter couldn't have been more friendly or professional made me feel welcome answered all my questions. They have that place running like a well oiled machine. I'm so glad I found this little gem. The bathroom was spotless the overall feel of the library is very comfortable. It is small but it is nice just be aware that the parking lot is very tight, if you have a big truck or a big car you might want to put it on the street. I'll be back to this place for sure.
This is a great looking library. It's small but there is everything for the whole family. They have activity tables in the kid's area with crafts you can do, games and kids toys. I love that it's enclosed with shelves to keep your little ones in sight. They have 4 desktop computers for parents or young ones to use. They also have a comfortable sitting area if you want to read with your kids. There are a ton of computers to use for the general public. They also have a meeting room that looks out onto the street. There's parking in the back in addition to street parking.
Of all the libraries that I've been to here and about the King County area, this is by far the most pleasant library that I have been to. Their professional manners are disguised by smiling faces of people who are committed to being honest and respectful but also they've done more than this, as they are selfless and do not hesitate to be helpful to someone like me. And I haven't experienced anything like this in any of the other libraries in the area, or in most of the businesses in the area for that matter....
06/29/23: this branch’s architecture is modern and attractive to me a lot. I feel comfortable and relaxed visiting this branch for my work and reading experience. One minor experience is that many homeless people are coming to use the Internet here, and they smell bad. I know the library cannot control it but hopefully, they can guide them to a public shower/restroom. The staff is wonderful and hospitable. Love taking my girlfriend here for reading
you can find books in english, chinese, spanish, and vietnamese at this branch. fully wheelchair accessible (including entrances, restrooms, and seating), plus an indoor and outdoor bookdrop. free, unlimited wifi that you can use without having to ask for a password. there are often classes, spanish storytime, and bilingual play & learn events. you can also use and borrow ESL materials here!
I am a recent graduate and my current occupation lets me work from home from time to time. I sometimes come out to this library to do some work. At this library it is always busy. I see a lot of people especially young students working on homework, web browsing, and reading. The location has free WiFi, more than a dozen computers, and nice friendly staff.
Decent library with air conditioning and a good number of tables to work. However, it is also serves as a play area for kids, so there are often screaming babies. There are a few quiet rooms that you can reserve, but it can be very loud in the main area.
.Beacon Hill Public Library opened around 1910 and portrays classical details in every part of the construction. They have many reading rooms, visitor theater area, microfilm area etc. The book collection is massive and you won't be bored for hours.
I go here with all my school book and fun read needs. Its the closest library to my house and the staff are very friendly. Ive been coming to this library since i was 2 and nothing's changed from what I remember.
Very nice staff that directed me where I needed. The place itself is awesome and you feel comfortable and want to to stay all day, I feel people have bone this already. I like this place. Thanks Seattle.
Worst library I've ever been to. Computers are junk with no plugs,plugs at table's are to close together can't Jack in both.And it's a daycare.loudest library in America.
Great, modernish feel, also so many books of every dang genre. If you want a book it is somewhat likely that the sps has it in one of their branches
This library branch’s reopening has given more User features. The space is better and now there is easier access to material for adults and kids.
Delightful. I was completely out of touch with the computer use for copying. Had a wonderful assistant help me walk through it. …
A tranquil place to find new media, or just yo take a break between appointments. Comfy furnishings, great librarians, lots of light.
The library is elegant, quiet and full of books . It is wonderful and the staff are very warm and friendly. …
This place is just awesome! I myself am not a reader, but having a library like this encouraged me to read more!
Lovely well equipped library. First time visitor. Lots for young kids and French story books as well !
Very friendly staff and the place itself is very clean with a wide selection of books and other media.
Es un excelente lugar. Lastima que algunas personas solo lo usan los cuartos de estudio para dormir.
The staff people are wierd and rude, I feel uncomfortable going there they stare at you!
Seattle has surprisingly nice libraries. This neighborhood branch is both cozy and airy.
