Public Library of Cincinnati & Hamilton County: Green Township

A beautiful building. It has an interesting copper roof. A different look than any of the other locations.
While the location is a bit on the small side, my family and I are always able to find a few books & movies. The movies seem to be very popular. We always find several movies we didn’t see the time before.
They offer several different activities for adults and children.
You can extend the due date on books and movie (not new movies.) Perfect for those days with too much snow or cold.

The library is an amazing resource, and you are a fool if you don’t use it and support it.
Nothing like insulting the reader to get my review off to a good start… but there it is. The library is one of my favorite things about Cincinnati. We have an absolutely amazing system of libraries. And its not just the library materials either. If you visited each of the libraries in the city you would see some amazing buildings with unique architecture. This location is fairly new (built in 1990), so it has a more modern feel. The story I’ve heard is that it was meant to evoke the silos and barns that used to occupy this area. It’s a love it or hate it design for the locals.
There’s plenty of parking and everything is all on one level which makes it easy for everyone to get around. They have plenty of computers spread throughout the library, so I’ve never had an issue finding an open station. They also have 3 self-​checkout stations, so I’ve never had an issue being able to quickly check out my pile of books.
But hands-​down the best feature of this library is the librarians. Most people never take advantage of the librarians, so I’m here to spread the word. They are pros at answering your trickiest questions. The bonus is that they will walk you through how they solve them, so you’ll be gaining some new research tools, too. Go ahead, try to stump them!
They also have plenty of events to keep you coming back. I’m always surprised by how much is going on at my local library.
Guess what! You’re already paying for the library, so why not get out there and use it! You’ll be glad you did.

If you have never been to one of the many libraries in Cincinnati, you are seriously missing out. There are so many great resources available (FOR FREE!!!) at the library. Besides the amazing collection of books, there are movies, books on CD (great for long car trips), magazines, computer games/​programs, and all kinds of children’s material. The staff at this location is great. The staff at the Main location can be a little jaded as they often deal with what are often called «problem patrons», ha ha.
If you are one of those people that checked a book out a zillion years ago and accrued fines of biblical proportions, fear not, for there is basically a 5 year amnesty deal. All will be forgiven and you can start fresh (but definitely be more responsible this time around!). Staying on top of things is easier in this internet age, as you can be notified of due dates and reserved items via automated phone or emails. Love this!
I really like the self checkout machines which enable me to «get in and get out» quickly.
So, stop by and spend a long time there soaking up the knowledge and entertainment at your local library. And then call your mom and tell her about it, she’ll be so proud.
