Edmond Library

We love this library! My son loves picking out books and they have a great children's section. We also love the summer reading program they offer. So many fun options. There are always tons of kids here having a great time.

I love the local library in my area but its currently going thru renovations until the spring 2020. The temporary site by Pelican bay is a helpful solution for returning books or picking up reserves. The staff are always pleasant and accommodating. Looking forward to the spring and the newly updated orginal library.

This library has provided many wonderful resources this past summer. With great AC, plenty of available computers, quiet reading nooks and desks, printers and copy machines, and many books, I have spent many happy hours here! The staff are masked, and there is a hand sanitizing station right near the entrance. They have a very efficient check out system, and returning books is really easy to do as well. I have noticed different programs for kids going on throughout the summer, as well as various classes for adults, such as one on the Constitution. Also, when I have requested new books to be added to the system, they have often been accommodating and purchased them for me. Overall, a great library and a great place to read/study!

Oddly enough I haven't been inside the Edmond library. However during this pandemic I found myself using online reservation system and curb side pick up. Believe me it is a dream. They developed a fabulous system and follow masking protocols. And can I just say they are so sweet during their brief interaction with you? Yep! I can and I will. Love the ease of obtaining an e-card for reservations. Easy to accomplish and that earns an A+ in my book.

The Edmond public library is a great library. The air is always comfortable. They have so many free programs for the community. One of kids wants to sign up for the summer reading program. Some kids want audio books for a trip. There's something for everyone in our family at this library!

Friendly and helpful staff. Walk in open! Must provide ID to get an internet only card at the front desk to use the computers.

As a college squatter, I am always on the look out for a comfortable, convenient place to be with my computer. My campus library is ALWAYS packed, I'm just not comfortable here. So, I decided to try the Edmond Library. Great choice! It is a large building. Split into two sides: adult & children. The children's area is absolutely adorable! They welcome you when you walk in the doors and immediately. I went ahead and signed up for a card but note that you do not have to to use their public WiFi! There is a little spot in the back "Teen Spot" and there are multiple tables for people to sit & work. I ended up going in the teen area because it was empty and I love privacy and solitude when I do my work. It was outdated, as is the building but this is totally understandable: it isn't as if they have a huge budget to work with. I mean, there I sat for 5 hours and the only money they got from me was .90 cents for printing. It was nice space though, even had outlets on the table top! Loved that. The employees inside are so cheerful and really seem like they are happy to be there & passionate about their public library. A lady helped me with the printing and she was very patient with my computer that decided to act up ( of course)! My only thing was that it isn't very open which meant each time I had to get up to use the bathroom, print, etc; I had to pack up all my stuff and take it with me. There are a lot of people so I just wasn't comfortable leaving my things out to the public. Overall, great library & loved the seclusion. I will definitely be going back!

Why anyone would bother buying books when the library is a free public service is beyond me. The Metropolitan Library system makes it incredibly easy for anyone to become a reader or a learner. If you enjoy audiobooks or ebooks, they have an app that allows you to download your borrowed books straight to your phone. They also have DVDs for those movies that aren't on Netflix. ;) There's no need to worry about late fees because the library will send you a text when your book is coming due.

This is Edmond's only public library branch which is chock full of useful services if not abundant in activities.Parking is usually not an issue but slackers both from the college and the church next door have been known risk tickets by taking up library parking from time to time. This is a smaller branch then you might expect given the population and wealth of edmond. The stacks are moderately respectable-the non fiction is terrible(you can always try you luck placing holds from other branches though), but the fiction has some surprising depth.The visual stuff-movies/music are not too shabby and the free wifi is better then most coffee shops. Plenty of cozy seats and tables scattered around and the twelve hour weekday hours are nice as well. There are super quiet study rooms which are perfect for serious studying. If you need a quiet study room it's best to call ahead as they are in high demand. The public bench statue thingy outside makes more sense then any of the statuary the city of edmond has decided to waste taxpayer money on elsewhere downtown (this includes the shannon miller monolith that shares the small park with the library) and the edmond branch has fully embraced RFID automation technology. Checking things out and in are both fully robotized which is kinda interesting to watch. Well the first time anyway. Well done Metropolitan Library System, nice use of public resources.

This library is really good. Staff is friendly and helpful. I love their children section
