Sunrise Mountain Library

I had a very bad experience with the library staff the lady at the desk charged my card without explaining me what is the charge for I paid 23.00 for 4 dollars book which is a RIP OFF the book was bent and they charged liquid damage charge without the book being damaged and they refused to refund me they should give explanations before charging anyone’s card.

Great library for the whole family! The kiddos love coming to this location to pick out some books and DVDs. Staff is always friendly and helpful. I even asked one of them where we could find a book on owls for my daughters book report… Not only did the staff member point me in the right direction, she knew the EXACT reference number! (Pretty impressive!) not the biggest library, but honestly, perfect size for the family to visit and pick out some great selections!

Super friendly staff! Great selection of books and movies! Kids area is clean with plenty of toys. Love it!

I love this kid friendly clean library. It’s quiet as a library should be, organized and tidy! The librarians have always been helpful to my girls and I when seeking a specific book.

My favorite library in the valley, by far. The only negative thing I can say is that they don’t have blu-​Rays, but it’s not big deal, there’s plenty of DVDs. I love, love, love the children’s area that has indoor and outdoor activities, several computers, and a ton of wooden puzzles that are super neat and organized! It’s truly a beautiful library.

This branch is MUCH better than the other Peoria library. My problem with this library is that it has a tiny selection, is poorly laid out, and employees are hard to find. I can never find anyone to help me, and the employees at the checkout desk are pretty much clueless about everything except checking out the books. I like how clean the library is and I also like how easy it is to return books outside.

I enjoy this library, I go often. One time though, a year or so ago, I checked out a book with a cd in it. I was unaware of the cd up to the point I turned it in. After I turned it in, I got an email that said I was being charged an 80 dollar fee. I was unsure why, so I called and asked. The person on the phone proceeded to tell me that since I stole the cd for illegal reasons, they were charging and freezing my account. I was very offended. I frantically searched my house, and found nothing. I later logged onto my online account to just pay it off, and there was no longer a fee. I called and asked what happened, and the lady told me they found the cd in the drop bin outside. I have never been treated this way. I will continue to go, but only because I live close. Hire nicer staff!

Always clean, quiet. Great selection of DVDs and CDs. Great indoor/​outdoor play area for kids.

Love this place! My toddler loves to play in the children’s section. They have so much to do and I love that my kid gets to visit the library so much. They have a great board book selection for my toddler, and great children’s book selection for my kindergarten class! Love this library!

This library is clean and has a good selection of books and movies. There are a couple of glass rooms that you can study in. There are also a dozen computers you can use for an hour or two. The childrens area is large and has toys, legos, cars, and many other interactive play areas to keep you kids interest. There is also an outside area that is covered and has tunnels and a playhouse for kids as well as tables and benches for parents.
There are a lot of things that could be better. If you find a book or movie and take it to check out often times someone will have it reserved and you are not allowed to take it. This needs to be changed to first come first serve. If someone has it in their possession no one else should be able to reserve it. I asked the librarian about this and she was not friendly or helpful. The childrens dvds are in very bad condition many of them will not play.
Patrons can be loud in this library and none of the staff seems to care or say anything to them. Another big issue is the hours. On Friday and Saturday it closes at 6 pm. On Sunday it is only open for 4 hours. For working people the weekend is the best time to study and closing at 6 and only being open for 4 hours on the other day is insufficient.
All and all it is a nice library that needs to extend their hours and crack down on disruptive patrons.

Wow! A few weeks ago I was wondering «who still goes to a library?» Little did I know what great kids programs that libraries offer. I took my baby here for a play group and it was great. We sang songs, had bubbles, and tons of toys to play with. There was even parachute time. Now I am wondering why I am even paying for gymboree when this is offered for free.
The library also has a great kids section with tons of books, computers, toys, and an outside play area. This is the place to go to bring your kids. I am so excited to check out the other classes!

I love this library. The staff is super friendly and the large kid area is a zero cost method for the kiddos to have a blast! Peoria also has these cultural passes at the front which gives you 2 free tickets to popular area attractions. Great way to spend quality family time without wasting away money!

I really love this location. The children’s section is great. My son loves to play in the kids area and they also have an out door section for him to run around in. We sometimes just go for him to get out and play. They are always having some sort of event going on for kids and adults like looking at Lizards, jugglers, Legos, and more. Weekly events for toddler story time is a must for the little ones they have a blast singing and playing.
If you all don’t know about the culture passes please look into this! You can get 2 free admissions to local museums and zoo’s. This is a great way to save money and get out of the house for some fun. I use them often!
