Hiawatha Public Library

I reserved a room at Hiawatha Public Library for a meeting. It worked out perfectly. The online reservations were convenient and easy access with staff after that. Very nice library.

I'm from out of town and needed a free place to hang with my 1 and 3 year old for a couple hours. The building looked small and unpromising from the outside, but was delightful from the inside. There were several areas my kids could play and the staff was very kind. My kids did not get bored. Would come again.

Friendly, helpful staff; great programs; free Conference room reservations for non profits. I love that I can reserve books from any Metro area library and pick them up here.

The librarians said "we couldn't add more time because the other children need to have a turn" although there's 18 other computers out-front of the library & inside of the child section. There's 4 computers in the YA section that they want us to get off out of the 22 computers in total. I've also noticed a repeating pattern with expired food from being served in the pantry. 10 days or older from the expiration date. Will definitely be talking to the director of this library about this on going issues.

Staff are extremely nice and do there job like no other, love this library!
