Underrated library. Had a Spanish section that is growing and full of quality medical content in Spanish. Had a dedicated study section in use. Got the language of trees en espanol since I need to brush up. Had tons of high quality new books en espanol as well so they clearly value their Spanish section. Had an *amazing* community resource section at the front as well, including the August local food fliers that other libraries haven't been doing their due diligence getting out there for eat local month, and also had the old Real Change booklet for free. Had the food for seniors menu on display and everything looked great if a senior is hungry and wants some free food. Excellent, small kids section. Tons of great resources. Right around the corner from Sea Mar Community Health Centers; I can see they are mutually influencing each other but hopefully information organization can make its way to the medical field soon to a broader degree. Seems like WA, especially the Seattle area, needs a professional clean up in terms of information science and how information works. That's what librarians are for.

Our little City (not County, as written incorrectly by another reviewer) is always warm and welcoming in typical South Park style. The staff is knowledgeable and gracious, and they have an impressive selection for the small space, and if you are looking for Spanish language books, magazines or films, you will find them here. It's a well cared for and much appreciated spot in Seattle's last hidden neighborhood, so if you stumble upon it, take a peek for yourself.

Happy to have and use our South Park neighborhood library. It's well kept and our kids always find an interesting book or video to bring home. Bathroom's are clean and available. Yes, there is a 10 minute limit to their use, but that is sufficient. Grateful for access to technology and resources close by our home. There is access to quiet and enclosed areas as well. Nice job on the remodel!!!

I've been to a lot of public libraries - but never have I had such wonderful assistance. The two people working were smiling, kind and extremely helpful. They do have some paperback books you can check out without being a member, and offer guest passes for using the computers. You can print up to 10 pages for free! Very nice, clean place with free wifi as well.

We just briefly dropped by for the 'Winter break' all ages crafts event (for a painting session). The place is well lit, filled with very helpful people and feels like a nice 'community place'. Kudos to the staff for making a difference to the people.

Sweet community library with kind and friendly staff, plenty of room to read and thoughtful extras like charging stations. And the most cheerful free bookmark made by a library neighbor!

NOT OPEN closed for remodeling. Would have been nice if they updated that on Google maps.
