As usual. . The staff up front at face value are really kind and love their work and always do their best and love very directly. Love them all.

Moving forward.. I was homeless and decided to lay back where their air conditioning unit is, in a tent.

While back there, I got very sick from the trees kept around the unit.

Please check on the quality of the plants around your literal air units for your building. Extremely dangerous.

I hope you are able to get someone who can keep your windows clean as well. Spiderwebs all over and looking out those big beautiful windows gets hindered by that.

Lots of direct work to do along with banning smoking on your premises completely. I watch kids walk through clouds of cigarette smoke.

Maybe your city should actually make poisons illegal instead of rolling over and letting them kill you off subtly.

I’ll vote yes to that. Please consider.

From smokers breaths surrounding your kind workers everyday and poisoning them slowly with biochemical build up to .. like I said … kids being in an extremely unsafe environment .. risking lung diseases and heart diseases.

None of these businesses that allow kids seem to care about the facts or what the surgeon general tells us is literally bad and harmful short and long term to people of all ages.

You are our librarians. We trust you first before anyone else. Please.. make a stand.

God Speed.

Very truly. It’s a giant, pretty, death trap.

People of St Cloud and surrounding communities, you have a gem of a library! I’ve been to libraries all over the country and this one has become a favorite. Beautifully designed, an exceptional inventory, just an all around amazing resource! Bravo!

Love the view. The environment is great and it's very family-friendly for children.

Book selection is terrible. I checked out a book with a moderately sized coffee stain on the side of the book ( Not a big deal, book was still irritable and I honestly didn't even notice), and when I returned to the book the man at the front desk was quick to point out the stain, and implied that I would be responsible for the stain on their old dirty book. Not a very welcoming experience.

The library has a great little store to buy used books and things. Magazines are free. They sell greeting cards, dvds, and more. If you’re not looking to buy, consider dropping off your books to help the library make a little money. If a volunteer isn’t working, there is a Dropbox for money if you are purchasing something. It is located right by the front door on the left.

What is there not to love about this huge library with fantastic staff members. Plenty of study rooms. Plenty of study tables near windows to enjoy some sunlight. Helpful staff. Big beautiful plants around.

A Very nice library, with massive square footage. Also a well run facility, with polite staff & quite clean. A large amount of private table and chair places to read. You can find nice, comfortable spots to just be alone. Which is what I call a great library.

Dangerous place to go. I used to really love this library. I'd spend a few hours each weekend browsing books, and my granddaughter was always delighted to check out a few kiddie books, as well. Today was a very different experience and I will not be returning. I was upstairs choosing books when I heard a man yelling profanities loudly. He was seated at the computer area and a staff member was asking him to quiet down. He refused and the staff member went back to her desk. He continued to loudly mutter that he's killed before and he'll do it again. He said to himself (but addressing the staff member, I assume) that he's not stupid and he has rights and continued to say he'll kill everyone in here. He continued on and on. I approached the staff member and told her this man was still behaving erratically and she told me she's aware and that he was really agitated today. He eventually left on his own when he was ready. Why was he allowed to stay? Why weren't the police called? I am still shaken and very relieved my granddaughter was not with me. How sad that responsible citizens can no longer enjoy the public library for fear of mentally unstable outbursts.
