Mobile Public Libraries

A somewhat smaller version of the main library or the one in West Mobile. But… if you can go here instead of the other branches it is worth the trip. The people are truly interested in helping you and they enjoy their work. Since all books tapes etc are available from throughout the system it is worth the extra day or two until you get what you want just to deal with friendly helpful professionals. There are differences in the branches of this system and this one truly is the flagship of the group. The weak spot is that for out of system items where it has to go down town and then out to whatever outside the Mobile system library may have the book or tape it is like sending it into a black hole. It is almost a waste of time and effort. I doubt they can control this. Congratulations to the team at Springhill Library. It is a pleasure to deal with a group that always is friendly and helpful and makes everyone coming in the door feel like they are welcome and that they are at their service. This is hard to find in this day and age in a government agency albeit this one is a city agency. I hope they continue funding them correctly because the service they provide is a recruitment tool to this area and something we can all be proud of and enjoy.
