Fountaindale Public Library District — Attraction in Bolingbrook

So this is a very disappointing review. I hate doing this and I'm never one to give a "one star" unless it was deserved!

We've been a part of the community since 1997, Bolingbrook Community Television (BCT6). Some of you may remember Sports Preview and what an impact it was for the community. Not only that, we were the longest running sports show in the history of the station. We took pride in that and we're also nominated for five awards.. We couldn't have been more humbled. Many of those were on the show are now working for ESPN and for the NFL.

Now with that said, this is where it can get a little confusing and it might rub off the wrong way for some, but you need to read in between the lines.

My co-pilot and I simulcast a podcast there at the fountaindale library, studio 300, and down here in Florida, where I'm located at.

We are on our fourth episode and I cover and work closely (in person) with the NFL IPP and other major sporting outlets. We have some high profile guests from the NFL,from Major League baseball, to college football,from past and future.

Ok.. The picture is painted. With that said, it is the fourth episode and each time that my co-pilot has gone in to studio 300 we have wasted 15 to 30 minutes of our scheduled 2 hour time because of the negligence on their end not changing or enforcing guest etiquette by putting everything back to default for the next person to just plug and play . Studio etiquette is not there, and the staff there was very rude (Patrick and Justin) and letting us know we need to be there 30 minutes before our scheduled time, even if there's an overlap. Meaning someone is in the studio at 12:59 and we're in there at 1:00 p.m. What happens if the equipment is still not up to par on the settings we need it? It will still take away our time.... Am i right? Not sounding entitled. I'm just pointing out the facts. I've been doing this since I was 14 years old. I'm almost 42 and this has been my profession my whole life. I think I know what I'm talking about. It'll be like telling a pressman of 40 years how to put ink in a printer. We don't want to ask for extra time.. I'll give him this. They gave us extra time the past two episodes but why do you have to give us extra time when we can just have this fixed from the last four times??. We just want the equipment to be ready to go when we get there. I COULD of lost possible sponsorships due to timing and had to erase numerous segments because of the time lost .

The irony of this we were discussing a segment about mental health and what occurred after the show after we exited, staff member Patrick (studio 300) came in to scold the taxpayer ( my co-pilot )about etiquette and he is filing an incident report against Roy and it's his final warning and first warning for that matter. All because he asked for help and this is the fourth time that we have lost 35 minutes to almost 40 minutes total on average. We wanted to do an hour and a half show. Our shows have been 47 minutes to an hour and 10 with a lot of cut segments due to this . My co-pilot is the nicest guy in the world, a God's man, someone that will give right arm to you if you need it. It got so bad to where he had to leave and had a panic attack in his car, in their parking lot due to them scolding him for no reason! He was completely blindsided and they turn the tables on us because we are trying to help! I'm filing a complaint because this is the fourth time I didn't say anything until this fourth time. It seems that no one cares over there. I get it to library and I get that somewhere. Just doing this for part-time work. But if you're going to work there, can you please have the respect for people like us that are asking just to have the equipment right? I don't think that's hard? Go to a fast food restaurant and order a cheeseburger and fries, they give you a chicken sandwich and onion rings. You going to drive off and just deal with it? No!

Part 1 of 2- due to character...

I went yesterday to the library and had the worse experience ever! I won’t be going back. I am from plainfield and heard we can use our library cards here as well, so I went with my family yesterday to look around and my little brother wanted to rent a game out and when we were using the computers to check out on our own and they were asking for a passcode which we never created one or even knew our cards had passcodes so I POLITELY asked a lady at the desk for help because we never knew passcodes were a thing with our library cards. And out of the blew she started being very rude with us yelling at us that everyone made a passcode when we created our library cards but in Plainfield we were never asked that and she was being so rude we were so confused why because we never came to her in any rude way so we just left the game there on the desk and walked out and she looked at US confused like she didn’t know how she was asking was not OKAY. thank you but i’ll stick to...

I absolutely love Fountaindale Public Library. I make every excuse to visit often.

It is a beautiful library with SOO many great selections of movies, books, audios, etc for ALL age groups. Even if you can't find what you are looking for, their inter-library loan system is amazing also, and I like their different options of pick-up and drop off availability.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. I can't say enough wonderful things about it. I brag about it to my friends and family. Always something fun to do there (I've been going to their Yoga also). I have been taking my now one-year old to the story times since he was a baby (lap sit events, bouncing babies, Diez deditos, family story time, etc.), and he loves it. We don't take him as often as I would like because we work full-time and often stay late, but there are so many options, we are bound to take him to a couple here & there during the week. :D

Having fun, isn't hard when you got a...
