Pierce County Library

Hmmmm. I will return again because this library is so close to mi casa, but today’s experience was not a positive one. The employees were friendly and helpful, but that’s where my happy times ended.
First of all, this is a pretty small library I guess because every freaking book I looked up on their catalogue was checked out. I came here with some different lists of must-​read books and couldn’t find a single one. No exaggeration. So that was annoying.
Secondly, there were all of these teenagers (damn youths) in the YA section playing a video game (wha?) being quite noisy. None of the staff members seemed to care that the «young adults» were being so loud and annoying. Insert continued ranting and old person rambling here. I shake my cane at thee.

Love this place! Always so kind and helpful. The selection is good. I go mostly for the environment. There’s even a cute little restaurant in front

Beautiful Facility. The building is beautifully designed with glass. The landscape is carefully maintained. They even cut the bush in the shape of a teapot today.
There is a kid-​friendly café called «Frog and Kiwi.» There’s space for reading. There’s plenty of Korean books, movies, and even drama series that you can borrow. They also have a lucky day program where if you get lucky you can borrow that popular book or movie that you’ve been on hold for forever.
There’s also a wide selection of online books through the app program overdrive.
Also you can download free music through free gal.
Only thing… it’s difficult to get on a computer on a whim. Make sure you reserve in advance. I wish there was a few 5 – 10 minute computer where people could quickly check email or print out a boarding pass.
I love-​love-​love this library. It makes me feel lucky to live in University Place.
P. S. There is free garage parking with chargers for electric cars! More reason to convince the boyfriend to get a Tesla (joke)…

Nice big library. The selections are decent, but not arranged in the best way. The kids selection however is huge. My kids love going there and looking at the books. They did do a great job on that area. Their computers for the young children could use some work. Sometimes they work, but a lot of the times, they don’t. There is a sign above the young children computers, but some adults will come over and use them and surf the internet. They do have computer area, you just have to sign up at the front desk with your library card. They have free WiFi as well. There are places around the library that has tables and chairs to set up your on laptop and just chairs to relax and read. It is a pretty big library. Outside of the library is a coffee shop called «Frog and Kiwi» if you want to grab something to drink or eat.
