Hampton City Libraries

I used my library card to check out books and rent plenty of childhood movies. The staff was always very nice and helpful.

Nice staff. Big library. Just don’t care for the lack of Jewish literature (ie Torah, Talmud, holiday books, etc.) or the lack of gay literature (ie james baldwin, stonewall riots, marriage equality, etc) but I guess that’s Virginia for you.
Very quiet and huge dvd selection with great documentaries.

Loved it!
It is a huge library with 2 floors. The first floor has a childrens area and books, some places to sit. It was louder than 2^nd floor. Had a few vending machines, bathrooms down the hall and a small gift shop run by sweet older ladies.
2^nd floor — Awesome place to study. My friend and i spent most of our day here– theres a quiet section to the far back of the library– it was very comfortable until a homeless gentleman came in and started blaring music from his mp3 player. WHen i asked him if he could quiet down– he snapped at me. With the exception of that guy, it was pretty comfortable. This floor also has a few study rooms that can be rented for 2 hrs (?). The staff was very accommodating in trying to get us a room asap. Theres a computer lab as well that does not require you to have a library card– 10cents/​pg if you want to print. Plenty of nonfiction on the 2^nd floor– but the books looked kinda out dated.
Plenty of parking, some shadiness in the lot though so try and just be safe. Staff were kind. There’s a subway within walking distance, vending machines on 1^st floor, but not much else for food. Grab a book and park yourself for some time away from the world at your local library :)
