Theirs lots of books and a really nice view of the bordmin lake. If you go in the summer you can see lots of boats out on the lake sailing.
beautiful building with large children's and young adult collection. Many movies to rent. Nice conference rooms to work in. There is a nice children's garden and community gardens in the summer. Very near the trail where you can walk by the Bordman River or to the filling station for pizza and beer.
The library is in a beautiful building now on Boardman Lake. The Audio/Visual section has a nice selection of movies and music. The second floor has comfortable seating for reading, with big windows, making it warm and sunny no matter the season.
I was surprised at how nice their library is in TC. Great for just visiting even for out-of-towners. They do a farmers market out front too.
Good reservation system, except the phone app does not send reserved items to my home Library branch, which is East Bay
Large library, comfortable furniture; and friendly staff make this library a good stop if you are in Traverse City.
Modern, great selection of books, wonderful building and setting. A gem in TC! I mostly use the online site and just pick up my books when they're ready. Quite handy.
My wife usually picks up any books I can't find on line. She was headed there this last week. As I had the day off I thought I would her. My problem was not with the building. It is beautiful, well kept and quiet. My problem was with the lack of assistance. The computer system was down. I asked for assistance and to use the index. I was told the index was behind the desk with no invitation to come back to use it. When I told the lady what I was looking for she took me down to an isle that really had nothing to do with what I had asked for, told me it would possible be found there (it wasn't) and left. I searched for another half hour and finally gave up. If your computer is down, make the index easy to get to. If people are not welcome to use the index have people that are more willing to help. I think I will stay with on line, this was not a good experience.
Disclosure: I LOVE libraries. Lived in them in college and it is the first card I ever get when I move into a new town. THIS library is a destination. The streaming light coming in through the windows, the breadth of literature is phenomenal. Not to mention the music and film selection. Especially the film festival greats!A great testament to what a community values. Love it.
We visit the library often to check out books and movies - great selection in a beautiful facility. A great place to hang out.
