Outstanding! If there were a hundred stars available for me to rate The Trussville Public Library, every single one of them would be lit up just as these five are now. The librarians and staff at The Trussville Library are simply the best. Every time I walk into the library, I am greeted with a smile and a friendly, "Hello!". I do not know where they find the people that they choose to employ at this library, but I hope there's an endless supply of them. When my mother was alive, I would accompany her to the library for her weekly visit to expose her to the newest mystery book or DVD arrivals. Our favorite was, of course, Agatha Christie. There is a particular librarian who went out of her way to ensure my mother was satisfied each and every time that she left. She was as well versed in Agatha Christie as my mother, and as I am now. During my visit today, I learned of the librarian's passing. I took a moment to thank God that this woman did so little for my mom, yet it was so much in my eyes. I learned that they had named the auditorium after her, and I believe that is a fitting, beautiful way to remember her life and service. The library has grown and there are many new additions and upgrades. I was very touched by the memorial that the staff had planned for this wonderful lady that touched so many people's lives. Thank you so much to the staff at Trussville...
Read moreI would give this place a zero if possible. Every time I go into this facility, I get the eye roll and huffing as if they’re bothered. I get constant excuses as to why they do not want to perform their jobs. I can never find an employee at their desks and they always seem like they are hiding. One employee even admitted that he was trying to hide. It’s ridiculous to constantly be made to feel like we’re burdens to be waited on. I simply needed a scan and a man acted like I was interrupting his coffee time. It doesn’t matter what I go in there for, they are extremely rude !!!!!!! Everyone there looks miserable, which is crazy when the library has so many days that they close. Four days straight, including the entire weekend, when the Fourth of July is on a Tuesday. Stupid. They close constantly for nothing. Maybe they need to clean house. I will make sure to go there as little...
Read moreWithin an easy 20 minute drive from Grants Mill Road, not far from great places to have lunch or dinner, and has a nice walking trail and park just outside.
The inside seating is really nice, has more than plenty of charging ports both usb and outlets, with large glass windows and shades, study rooms and meeting rooms for reservation, and fun colorful areas with plenty of communal seating. Although seating wasn’t full the entire week I was there, I wouldn’t take photos when someone was quietly studying, respectfully.
They also have vending machines for drinks and snack, as well as some Keurig k-cup vending for just a couple of quarters. Spending a few days here the last week I cannot say enough about how calm and still exciting it was to be in such a nice library. The garden is winterized outside, but the sun really shines through and lights the whole place up...
