Chewelah Library

Is this a library or a social club? It would be fantastic if staff would enforce basic library decorum. People are listening to their phones out loud, letting their notifications go off with no sense of common courtesy, or respect for anyone else. They are treating this place like a cafeteria, eating and making a mess on the floor. That said, when patrons treat this place like a library, it is a lovely place to ready, study and get work done. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the selection of books and DVD is great.

Friendly staff and a nice collection of books! I loved coming here Update July 2021: handling the Covid situation nicely, I still love coming here especially to print out recipes and find new movies, the staff are always so helpful and cheery. Brings up my mood to be here. At the moment restrooms are closed off just so you know, Safeway has one though past their deli/kitchen area (yes you're allowed to go back there haha ^-^), and supposedly the office building next door does too but I haven't been in there. I'd recommend this library to anyone!!

This library has been a very special very important part of my life throughout my entire existence. The staff members may have changed through the years but the kindness, patience, and eagerness to help you find whatever it is you're looking for has carried on through in each of them. Stop by, get to know them, find a book and relax in the comfy chairs!!

Wonderful small town library, especially when you consider that they have had their budget cut severely over the past few years. Despite what the other reviewer says, nobody is kicked off computers to let wives of cops on. Each library patron gets 60 minutes on the computer and they have to sign in on the computer. The computer will lock you out when your time is up. If no one is waiting, then you can get another 30 minutes but that's it. I've used libraries all over the country and the librarians here are some of the best I've seen. They'll bend over backwards to help you!

First class library filled with friendly people! The recent renovations look phenomenal, and the selection here is always top notch.
