My son has gotten into reading this past year and having a library 2 blocks away is very convenient. We leave with a good handful of books to read and walk back to return and check out more books. They have computers for the public to use.
back to regularly scheduled programming here (pre-covid hours) ! i came on a wednesday and they offer free lunch to kids from 11-12. library was quiet + clean, had someone sanitizing the kids’ area when i came in. they’ve got a good selection of fiction + dvds, computers, and plenty of seating without having to sacrifice elbow space. no complaints at all, very nice + quaint space, librarians were friendly :)
The staff at this library are fantastic. They are very helpful and friendly. Even if they don't have what you're looking for they will find a way to get what you need. The branch has a lot of titles, is clean, and is nice.
The ability to search for possible donors to non-profits, the bag of books for book clubs, the dollar books for sale inside the entrance maintained by the friends of the library, the always smiling and helpful staff, the easy to find book shelf of books held for me, all these make my Seaside library a joy.
