Beacon Hill Branch - The Seattle Public Library — Attraction in Seattle

A VERY small neighborhood library, but with all/most the features of a big library. They have a toddler/ little children's area, a teen's area and study room's (not sure about study room's anymore, looks like they are turning the study room's into a staff's break room). They have featured events for the public, there is a poster board to post job's or other things, they also host tutoring programs for kids and adults and it is a comfortable temperature; not to hot not to cold, unlike some libraries that are way to cold even in the summer. If you are looking for a QUIET place to read or study this is probably not the place for that. With such a small space, sound really travels in the library and there are often crying toddler's and children playing in the kids area. But if you like a good hangout or gathering area for whatever the occasion then this is the place for you. It's a really NICE small neighborhood library that serves the local...

This is a great library. Excellent architecture. Very clean and organized. Had tons of resources for emergency shelters, bus routes, etc., for domestic violence victims.

I appreciate that Snohomish and King County are working together in a reciprocity agreement for libraries. Unfortunately Everett is not part of that information sharing and it shows. Regardless, an excellent library with a lot of great, new books and they actively purchase popular books so people who want access can get access to them. Good job...

Today was the first day I've been to this library I stopped by because I had lost my library card and couldn't remember any of my information. The nice woman behind the counter couldn't have been more friendly or professional made me feel welcome answered all my questions. They have that place running like a well oiled machine. I'm so glad I found this little gem. The bathroom was spotless the overall feel of the library is very comfortable. It is small but it is nice just be aware that the parking lot is very tight, if you have a big truck or a big car you might want to put it on the street. I'll be back to this...
