Norman Public Library East

Cool place to study but the guy controlling the cameras in the security office is quite questionable. while walking to the bathroom I noticed he was only zooming into 2 girls who were sitting down(studying I suppose). I understand security sacrifices privacy but come on it's a library that usually only has a few people in here at time. I'm sure if he focused on school like he did women he wouldn't be working here as a 50 something year old...

We love this library branch! It's smaller than others but it's our preferred location. It's usually not crowded, plenty space and seating, great window views. The kid's area is creative and fun (today was an "ice cream shop"). The selection of books is varied but smaller than other places due to space constraints, however you can always have books sent there if needed. Also, the staff are always kind and helpful.

The exterior of building is very inviting and impressive. The inside of the library sits high on a hilltop, which provides some wonderful views of the countryside. The interior is very pleasant and offers plenty of seating and meeting space. That said, the floors are tile and therefore all sounds made echo throughout. For example, during a recent visit, a meeting was taking place in the open are of the library. The peoples voices echoed all across the library, which was unpleasant to those browsing books, reading, or just looking for a relaxing place to enjoy the library. When I asked if the library should be a quiet place, the library attendant said, "not really." If so, that is really disappointing for such a nice space. Please rethink this policy.
