Belen Public Library

We love our Tuesday toddler time with Ms. Sherry every week! The children's room is decorated beautifully and is so inviting. Ms. Sherry plans awesome calendars full of activities and crafts that we just love! She remembers all the kids names and makes everyone feel special! She's the best and deserves a raise!

Small local library with a good variety of books, DVDs, audiobooks. Great place to use a computer to do work as well as print stuff quickly and inexpensively. The staff are always super personable and helpful- they will put in a request to obtain a book if they do not currently have it in their catalog. They also have a separate brightly colored room dedicated to kids. Last time I was there the librarian noticed I was checking out children’s films, she informed me that I could sign my 3 and 7 year olds up for their own cards so they could check out books and DVDs for themselves.

I think the staff are friendly but I just hate how they never have any self help books. I wish it were possible to request books that would actually make a difference but every time I have ever tried, that request was denied. Not everyone can just afford to read quality books in the things they are actually interested in and it would be helpful if libraries worked harder to have a better catelog of things that are actually helpful in the world today.

Great library, helpful staff. 3 stars because the children's reading program has greatly decreased in quality. It was our favorite program at the library but It's become so boring that I can't convince my child to attend. Please bring back the guest speakers and fun presentations. 10 minutes of reading a toddler book and a cart full of crayons does not a reading program make.

I don’t usually do reviews but I’m so sad about the service I’ve gotten from the Library the last few months. I take my gramd Children when their momma is working almost always on Saturdays. The Children’s Room is lovely with many things to do for the kids and the regular girl is so friendly with the kids. They also have gotten a lot of Spanish books in. The young couple that works the front desk is more interested in each other than helping people. They are nice once you get their attention but it’s hard to even know their there. Customers shouldn’t feel like they are interrupting a date of their need help. I suggest not letting couples work the same area together. I remember being young and in love a long time ago but not at my place of employment.
