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

Overall, this is a very pleasant place to visit. Seating can be sparse but the staff has been quite helpful and the patrons are generally quiet. You do have to be aware of the fairly high child presence but they're usually old enough to know to be relatively quiet. There's an elevator which makes access to the two main floors very convenient.

There is parking beneath the library and even though it only has a dozen or so spaces, I usually find one to park in pretty easily.

I did have one hiccup during my second visit there. I registered for a library card with fantastic assistance from staff who also helped me also complete the steps for wi-fi printing. Unfortunately, even after registering and waiting about 15 minutes, I was still unable to print but in the grander scheme of things this was relatively minor.

Edit: As of 16 January 2018 one of the men's stalls is missing a door but all are short which...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had an incredible experience at this library. The staff was not only very helpful but also displayed a remarkable level of understanding during a challenging time when I was in the hospital for ten days. They went above and beyond by waiving my late fees, showcasing their compassion and commitment to the community.

The library itself is housed in a beautiful building, providing a comfortable and relaxing environment. The wealth of community resources and a diverse, well-stocked selection of literature make it a haven for any reader. Navigating the library was a breeze due to its thoughtful organization.

In summary, this library goes beyond being a place for books; it's a welcoming space where helpful staff and a fantastic literary collection converge. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a place to read, relax, and feel supported. Kudos to the team for making this library experience...

I typically never leave reviews for anything, but I just had to leave a review for this library. This was my first time visiting this library. I brought my four-year-old son here. He had to use the restroom, so I went into The women’s restroom to see a grown man in there, shooting up drugs. I go down to tell the library staff specifically the lady with the short haircut with blue in her hair. She responds with anyone can use any bathroom. They feel comfortable using disregarding the fact that this man’s in there with a needle. If their bathrooms are gender, neutral, they need to have that on the signs. They are displaying women and men bathrooms. She was not concerned about anyone safety. She was more concerned about me worrying about a grown man in the woman’s bathroom. I will not be returning to this library....
