It’s the best branch ever. The staff is very helpful and u get books very quickly. You can always rely on them. There’s something for younger kids to do while their family get their books. One problem is that they have such a small parking. On a really sunny day it’s packed and u have to do a drop in and out or wait for a free parking for hours. Ugh , but other than that it’s perfect for me and my family to walk to and just get some books and read without being interrupted.

4 stars because the instructions on the printing pamphlet wasn't sufficiently thorough and lacks information for new users and the printing area lacks instructions, too. However, staff is very attentive, helpful, proactive, and kind. Loved the vibe inside and outside of the place. Nice layout and space. Even got 2 free BinaxNow antigen tests here. Thank you!

Volunteering with the KidsTeam outreach activity was a load of fun! It's a well-maintained library with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I had a great experience with Amy Tooley in particular when she helped me get an SPL card. Highly recommend this for SPL patrons and non-users alike!

Amazing cute library in one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Seattle. Excellent study areas. The staff is helpful as always. It's right in the heart of Columbia City. There's a lovely park behind it if you should choose to read outdoors.

  • Sonja Moore

This library is so cute and welcoming. Right outside the library is a beautiful park with grass, trees, and benches abound. Often when it’s sunny outside, dogs frolic and kids play in the grass. I highly recommend this library and park.

  • Kate Chen

A wonderful library branch with a great kids section and very friendly staff. Backs up to a lovely park to read your latest checked out book. Loved all their kid programming before COVID, hope it returns soon.

  • Tonja Davis

Really nice and comfortable library. Two study rooms that they let you book in two hour blocks. Bathrooms and study rooms are locked, so you do need to speak to the staff. Super nice librarians too!
