North Valley Regional Library

Took one of the many fun informative Tuesday evening classes. Tonight was Affirmation, and others I've enjoyed included Glass Etching, Growing and caring for succulents, Mocktails, understanding and investing in Bit coin, crafting decorative flowers ... Looking forward to the next offering.

I often visit this location with my little ones and I love the small town feel this library gives me. The staff is super helpful and will even request a book to be added if they are unable to locate it. I am able to rotate my home library with their checkout limits being 50 items per library card, giving my children free range to grab whatever the desire. The children’s book area is huge and they keep a good rotation of best sellers. There also activities and study rooms that can be checked out at the patrons convenience. I was even able to add my library card to my Overdrive and Libby apps. Placing books on hold and transfer is quick and painless with an area that allows patrons to help themselves to their books holds.

Our family loves our library. All of the workers including the security guards are friendly and helpful. It's such a quiet peaceful place and it has a number of activities for kids including a puppet show, train set, and a variety of puzzles. There are plenty of comfortable places to sit, and my family enjoys picking up craft kits on our way out. There are also scheduled activities with special guests or crafts, and we love the summer reading program. We also really enjoy being able to reserve books for pickup, and even transfer books from other libraries. What's not to love?

5 stars for the awesome staff. 1 star for the library from hours of operation to pitiful inventory of books. This is not a modern day library. It’s not even a decent reguonal library. I’m not sure what it is at this point. Maybe a combo Blockbuster Video and Used Book Store? SO much open space but very few book stacks. At one visit, there was only 1 working online library catalogue. This is not what taxpayers or library staff deserve. I hope the new library is one for us all to enjoy more fully and be proud of.

The staff are always friendly and helpful. Although there isn't a huge selection of books, I usually find something interesting. It's very useful to have access to simple-to-use printers.
