Euless Public Library

I have been taking my children to this library for many years to help foster a love of reading. The children’s area is amazing and the staff has always been more than supportive in making the library a special place.
We have participated in the summer reading program for the past four years. Till now, this program was an excellent way to encourage summer reading while working on a goal with a small reward incentive.
Unfortunately the program is now registered on line. The parents have to log on to a website each day to record the minutes. If you have more then one child, you have to log out and back in for each child. Eventhough, my Nanny ensures they both complete a minimum of 20 minutes a day to complete their goal, as a busy parent was not always able to log the minutes each day.
Today, attempted to log in their minutes while at the library. Unfortunately, learned the deadline was last Sunday and today Is Tuesday. The librarians informed me there are no exceptions. My youngest child was confused why she couldn’t receive her little prize while my 10 year old left almost in tears.
This program is designed for children to support a love of reading. I am very disappointed with the library staff for not considering the circumstances of busy parents. My children where very disappointed becouse they where very excited to have exceeded their goal in reading minutes. Yet, told becouse we are 2 days late, they will just have to do it again next year.
My advice to parents regarding this program. Set up your own reading program with your children or consider the Summer Reading Program with Barnes & Noble which is a more flexible program. I feel the library staff was a little insensitive with the «no exception» rule. My children where very upset and no longer want to visit the library again. This was not why I enrolled them in this program.

I love that they have private study rooms! You can request one at the front office. They also have free Wi-​Fi and have extended hours until 9 PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays!

This is an awesome library. They aren’t part of a library system, but they have a large enough collection that I don’t even wish they were. It’s pretty inside and everything seems very well-​maintained. In my experience the books I look for are always where they’re supposed to be, which is the main reason behind these 5 stars. There are plenty of places to sit and a lot of interesting little sections to browse like ‘staff favorites’ and ‘epistolary fiction.’ They have a large DVD collection and about 50 BluRays, all of which are free to check out plus they automatically renew items for you so you don’t get charged. Staff seems knowledgeable and friendly, and there’s plenty of parking. Great variety of children’s programs and storytimes and the librarians who do these are awesome! Printing is $.10/​page in black and white and $ 1/​page in color. They have faxing services too.

Books? Who check out books? Ummm well I do.
I’m giving the Euless library 4 stars because I was simply spoiled by the Frisco library. I’m somewhat new to the area and I’ve started to investigate some of the businesses and opportunities that surround the HEB area. This library is an excellent community resource with free or low cost classes and groups of all types for community members, free computers, wifi, and a decent (but not busting) collection. A good genealogy resource center and study rooms if you are in need. A very current and fun children’s collection –which is what I was seeking out.
It seems to be a «traditional» library in many senses. Has a really good feel to it. I’m sure I will return many times over.

Probably one of the best library’s in the HEB, DFW airport area.
I always love coming to this library, they have a great and very current selection of books (Fiction/​Non Fiction), movies and music. The librarians are very helpful and can point you towards the right direction of your search. Also this place is super clean and always in order.
This library also has a very large kids and young adult sections plus a very large genealogy room to help you research your ancestry. Very nice study/​quiet rooms for you to crank out some homework. Also if you don’t own a computer they have at least 12 computers with internet access for you to use.
Their book selection is humongous! And they always carry the New York Times top ten titles of fiction and nonfiction. What is neat about the new stuff that they get in, they keep it in one area for you to browse. Which is pretty cool if you want something that just came out.
The library has generous time frames to borrow booked. You can borrow a book for three weeks. DVD’s and music you are allowed to keep for a week. If you need to renew the items you can go on-​line to renew or just come back to the library to renew your items.
During tax season the library also offers free tax assistance and all the forms you need to do your taxes. When it comes time to vote you can come here for early voting and to vote on the day of the elections.
Once in a while about once or twice a year they also have a book sale at really cheap prices something like a dollar a book or $ 5 a DVD.
Last but not least this place has a fantastic salt water aquarium. You can stop by daily to watch the fish being fed and see their cool lil stingray.
Even thought I no longer live in the area I still find myself coming back here to study, borrow books or just relax. I suggest if you live in the area to stop on by, get a free library card and start reading!

You have probably been wondering where I have been holed up. Or maybe you haven’t. But whatever the case… don’t act like you didn’t miss me!
I like this library during it’s off peak times, which is generally in the morning from about 10am-​Noon. Tons of people utilize the free internet in the center of the library so that part is pretty hectic. However, I like the cozy nooks they have for people who study. They are in the very back of the library and it’s so quiet that I was scared to cough. Which is prime studying time for me! I like that this library allows you to check out videos… because Zumba is expensive, but checking it out from the library is awesome!
They have a designated children’s area as well, but after 3pm since it’s right near Trinity High School and some middle school around there, kids seem to linger in the library, which I guess isn’t a bad thing in theory, however, I don’t think they are really doing anything productive. They are just there and loud. So go in the morning if you need quiet time like I do. They also stay open until 9pm no Mon, Tues, and Wed… but warning, it’s kinda creepy being in the library that late, so bring yo’ mace!!!
Back to studying… :)
