Client Review on Live Oak Public Libraries
Feedback:
Very nice new library, full of natural sunlight, and big comfy chairs. If you need to surf the web or look at the newest Southern Living this is the place for you. There are not large tables to sit down and spread out ones work except for the study rooms. The study rooms are available for one hour or longer if no one else request to use it. During the school year..many of high school and middle school kids (schools are literally next door) clamber to the facility. They use the computers next to the study rooms (personally I find this a design flaw). From what I could see there was a lot of socializing and video game playing. Most of the students are polite, but there are so many! You can hear everything that is going on outside of the study rooms, so they kind of become senseless at that point (design flaw number 2). I can't help but wonder if parents are unable to get or meet their children after school so they send them to the library? Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm thinking this branch was designed with the needs of most users taken into consideration, but it is not a serious "study type" library. It seems more for the reader and computer user. Oh yes... baby sitting service too. Some librarians seem glued to their chairs and don't seem to be interested in helping, while others are more helpful. I have returned to graduate school late in life and the libraries I'm used to were different. Maybe it's how things are now? One can look on the computer find their book and scan it out themselves, with out the least bit of interaction with the person who holds the library science degree. I guess these folks must be doing something behind the scenes? If you get a DVD the librarian has to unlock it..after you check it out of course. I'll give this library 3 stars, because of the light, and the kiddy library looks good.
