Waiting times are long for any use of a computer. Few hours outside normal business hours- 9 am - 6 pm few nights, weekends and many folks waiting for approximately 9 computers. Converse Library choose not to provide newer books, periodicals, newspapers or current best sellers you may want to read for over 15 years. Most books are old and donated. There have been no books I want to read other than waiting 6 weeks over 4 years with numerous different book requests normally to get a post card saying that the book I requested via the Inter Library loan was unavaible. There are few Converse library computers FREE Available with NO WAIT - open to the public which were all occupied most times I have come in.Many computers are broken or unable to receive updates or downloads.

My advice go to San Antonio City Libraries or any other library you may...

You fill in the blanks with your version of that. I'm very particular on what I allow into my mind body and soul. Especially for my children. ... But overall the Librarians are kind and very helpful. Would have given a higher rating. But you really are what you read. So let's keep...
Read moreWent there a few years ago and we couldn't find our Library Cards, a older man was working, asked for hubby ID, he handed it to the gentleman and he couldn't find us in the system 😢. He continued to hold hubby's ID and he insisted that we leave and find our Cards since it was becoming a hassle for us and our schedules. He wanted to continue looking no matter what we said and finally my husband insisted the return of his Driver's license! Afterwards we were informed that that same elderly man "BANNED MY HUSBAND FROM THE LIBRARY"! NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO HOLD ANYONE'S DRIVER'S LICENSE OTHER THAN THE POLICE!!! WE GO TO RANDOLPH LIBRARY WHERE WE FEEL...
