Green Hills Public Library District

This review is primarily for families with small children. My kids used to love coming to this library but over the past several months our visits haven’t been as enjoyable. It feels like there is very little tolerance here for kids simply being kids. I understand the importance of following library rules and make sure to review them with my children before each visit. Still, kids are naturally energetic, noisy at times, and learning library rules. My son is also autistic and needs extra support to understand expectations, so our visits are a part of his learning process. What has made it difficult is being approached by staff repeatedly about my kids behavior, even though I am supervising them the entire time. These constant reminders create stress and take away from the enjoyment of v

I have found this library to be a wonderful resource. The staff is extremely informative and helpful. I have had to utilize the scanner and fax several times over the past 6 months.

The staff overall is nice, though I found Layla, one of the staff members, to be rather unhelpful and dismissive, almost as if she believed her role was beyond question. On a more positive note, one of the front staff members, a young lady with a larger body frame, was incredibly kind and helpful. She even assisted me by carefully putting the pages of the American History 2023 magazine back together after they started to fall out. Her assistance truly stood out. The
