Suwannee River Regional Library

Fairly small collection but the library is very clean and the staff was really nice and helpful. I was surprised to find a lot of very helpful information. Thanks!!

My 11 year old daughter was checking out a book. The lady who checked her out, said the last name. Then said "oh Bye is your last name, I bet you get jokes about it all of the time from other kids" then makes a joke. My daughter just looked at this ADULT who works at the library & says "No, no one has ever made fun of my name before".

Yes you deserved to look ashamed. It is a shame kids have more manners than an adult making fun of an 11 year old's last name.

Truly no one has ever made fun of her last name or even remarked on it until then. She asked me why that lady even thought that was appropriate or funny to make fun of her last name.

It was a teaching moment for us. I am glad you looked ashamed but an apology would have been appropriate & appreciated. Then again you thought making fun of a child's name was okay.

Other than that, the library is an awesome one & lots of programs.

The library is well maintained and has one of the nicer children's area. The employees are wonderful, professional and very helpful. Sadly some people seem to think that they should make themselves at home in the library. I know that it is unpleasant to tell people to lower the volume of whatever it is they are listening to but others should not be able to hear it. Also take your loud cell phone calls OUTSIDE, you are talking loudly. This is where the employees needs to address the patron because yes they are disturbing others. I certainly don't need to hear all about some person's health & sex problems nor do I need to hear the video they are playing. If they don't have headphones then don't play it unless it is low enough that only you can hear it. Some of the things shouldn't have to be heard by children especially. Other than inconsiderate people like that, the employees there are wonderful and I know it has to be a pain to keep having to tell adults how to follow rules.

I called the library several months back about a gentlemen at a reading table having a seven course meal that drew nobody's attention but mine. Several visits after this the guy is still snacking when he can 😪 Fast forward until today and the same man sitting in the same spot clipping his finger nails on the same reading table 😡

This is an awesome library with the best staff ever ❤️ I work remotely from home, but come here to work from time to time. It’s a feeling I enjoy - being in a library surrounded by books and wisdom. And free!

I needed to print a document and I am from out of town. A lady with dark hair is the person who came to the front. She was abrupt to the point of rude. Maybe consider working a different job if you don’t like interacting with the public or helping people. Sometimes a kindness is all that a person needs!

Such a beautiful library with happy, helpful staff. Amazed with this small town library. A wonderland for children, which is what reading should be about to little ones.

We enjoyed our library tour. They have a ton of planned activities almost every day of the week. If you haven't been recently check it out!!!

I went to get a peaceful and quiet environment to study for an exam ... not so! The staff was loud and quite rude to the point I had to cut my study time short and leave. I see on their website they are closed for a staff training day coming up I would hope that the noise level of staff is included in the training because after all this is a library. So disappointing
