North Tonawanda Public Library — Attraction in City of North Tonawanda

The library seems super nice, but I did not have a good experience when I went there for the first time this past week. I walked into the library around 6:40. The library was closing that night at 7, which I knew ahead of time. I also knew I only needed to print one document, and I felt 20 minutes was sufficient time to accomplish that task. Right? Wrong. Most of the computers were turned off, except for one. I had to ask for a guest pass, and the woman at the desk informed me they were closing soon. I logged into the computer but the computer stopped working before I could print anything. As it turns out, they are set to turn off automatically at 6:45. There were no signs informing patrons of this, however, and the woman at the desk also did not tell me. I did not end up being able to accomplish what I set out to do and overall it was a waste of time coming here. I will not be returning to this library...

The staff is very friendly and helpful. I couldn't find a book I wanted in the fiction section, but the information desk located it for me in their holiday section.

Seating is available at tables and a few couches/easy chairs. Update '24: Staff remains helpful and pleasant. Most procedures are back to preCovid. Parking more...
