Allegra Westbrooks Regional Library - Beatties Ford Road — Attraction in Charlotte

This is a decent-sized quiet library. I know you shouldn't even have to write quiet when explaining a library, but it's been my experience that not all libraries in Charlotte are quiet. They have story time available for toddlers and babies. Not as many toys for kids but they do have tons of computers which stay available most of the morning. They have a lot of Spanish children's books and tons of picture books. I was really happy to see that they have a room for nursing mothers, and a family bathroom. My kids really loved it here. As far as the selection and adults I only went through non fictions which word decent lots of new books and well kept. Lots of computers in the internet lab.

I notice a lot of the libraries these days focus more on discriminating against library patrons. Then encouraging all individuals from all walks of life to embrace the fundamentals of learning and reading books. It's like they only want certain individuals (class & race) in the library. It so discriminating and it is so annoying that it interferes with individuals using the library to work on their work. If that's the case then individuals who can't accept all individuals from all walks of life need to work in another field than the library. Because you do have to be able to provide service to all library patrons from all walks of life and all classes. You can't be selective or discriminating with the public. Because it is open to everybody who wants to use and needs to use it. Do better and more nonjudgmental. BE THE CHANGE YOU SEEK...

This was my childhood library! I always and only really knew of it so it's a comfortable place. (Even for someone so shy...!) The book supply is nice (excluding a variety of manga, like most places in the U.S.) but overall it's a great place. They've been initiating programs (for kids, teens, and adults!) and brought in new technology; which took away from the original comfort, but is helpful to those who need it! I recommend this library for people who want to be comfortable when they work! There are these 'quiet rooms' that kind of block out sound! It's a small library, I think (having only one other one to compare it to.. kind...
