White County Library Helen Br

Small but great, best one we've been to in a long time.

Small, but busy. Nice to see kids here.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a very good selection and also a kids section.

I visit libraries all over the state due to work. This is the first time I felt that whomever was in charge of book selection was letting their bias/taste go overboard. Fully a quarter of the fiction was religious fiction of the conservative Christian variety. That seemed...very weird and creepy. So I looked through the shelves and realized they had two SF/Fantasy books. I spent enough time in town, which is a little funky, though in conservative part of the state to believe this is reflecting local taste. The absurd level of imbalance looks like deliberate attempt to censor ones reading rather than an attempt to cater to the audience...whatever excuse they respond with. Libraries should serve all patrons.

The people here are so nice! I worked here for a couple hours while hubs was in a meeting and they were extremely accommodating.
