Warren County Library - Richard D. Gardner Branch

I don't read often but staff is always very friendly. Used to borrow ps4 games from here. Just talked to them on the phone because I was having trouble with the app but it was the Kentucky version from playstore it seems lol. Now I'm gonna try reading and maybe some audiobooks.

The staff wasn’t bothered at all. So is it me? Just wondering.

Always something family- friendly, fun, and educational. The staff really love children and go out of their way to make them feel at home around books.
