Yelm Timberland Library

A comfortable place to sit.with a good book. The staff are always welcoming and the services and programs offered are top notch. :)

I left because I'm not going anywhere I can't protect myself. Have you not seen the recent shootings? Per state law y'all allow concealed weapons but not a visible pocket knife... you'd rather not know than know someone's here that would protect people(those of us who openly carry aren't threats) but whatever floats your boat, do you

I am a huge proponent for supporting public libraries, but this library is extremely small and lacks suitable areas for quiet studying. I tried catching up on college courses and naturally the only allowed area, is next to the room where kids do storytime.

It’s a nice little library, and it’s fun to take the elevator. But when I came recently to catch up on school work, it was particularly busy so it was a bit noisy but I was still able to work through it, and the WiFi was amazing for guest WiFi. I just wish people in the teen zone had more consideration for others coming here to study or do library things as they can be heard across the entire library when they move chairs around. It’s like they don’t even try to just pick them up so they don’t make a bunch of noise moving against the floor. They also talk at normal volume which made it hard to focus. Basically what I’m saying is that it’s a good library, but if you come here to study, you should do so on a day when it’s not that busy.

FAVORITE LIBRARY! Employees are so helpful. There’s one tall guy that works there who always has a fantastic, cute smile to greet you and he’s so sweet and helpful if I have any questions or don’t know how to do something (computers, printing, etc…). They helped my kids learn how look up books and use their computer. Truly a great place to relax & escape for a while. And… due to the Italian restaurant downstairs, it always smells amazing in there :) 10/10
