Avenue Library

"I have been trying to get my kids out and off there electronic devices more so we have been going to different libraries events trying to promote more reading habits so when they had a free ice cream event I thought that was a nice treat for them reading more,little did I know when they advertised the ice cream party that they were a locals only library and my kids weren't good enough or deserve to attend a free event without being told that thay were the reason other kids didn't get ice cream, the free ice cream was for kids and teens but the lady was giving the tickets out to adults as well saying she thought they would have enough but when thay didn't all the sudden it's my kids falt that other kids didn't show up on time. It's a shame a place like a library would be so mean to kids who hade worked so hard reading and thought thay were getting a reward. You would think that it's hard enough to get them interested in reading or going to a library without people telling them because they don't live in that area that they aren't wanted."

"Had to update since they seem to have replaced the anti special needs guard they had prior. I do love this little library. It has an alphabet rug for the littles to practice their letters & numbers, it has a shelf of puzzles and toys for them too. There's a grab bag basket for guests as well, while I've never used one myself they seem to always be available. They moved a shelf so my autistic child no longer feels drawn to run down the back aisle. Their selection is large enough that we're able to always find a good dzn or so picks per visit. Baby-toddler-adult books all seem very ample. Also a young adult section I've not myself taken advantage of but my eldest would've loved if he lived here. I believe they offer free lunches certain days as well which is very nice for anyone in need. I think they have worked on inclusive environment since my 1st review & it shows. I appreciate the staff understanding what a challenge sensory needs can come with a special needs child."

"I've been visiting this branch of the library for many years and I love it. It's small, but if I put a book on hold i can run in and pick it up. The librarians are helpful and friendly."

"I love this library! I really appreciate the friendly, helpful staff."

"The Avenue library has a good selection of books, movies and computers available for use. If you have kids there is space for them to read and do their homework. It may be small, but is very helpful to the surrounding community!"
