I’ve been going to this branch of the library for about 5 years now. It’s a relatively new building compared to some others. The parking lot has a lot of spaces but the parking lot design is awkward and the spaces are too small. Luckily, there’s a lot of street parking around the building.
The library is like others — they have books, media, special events, and computers for use. I’ve never had any problems there. The building is very clean and the staff is very helpful.
I went in there last week and every computer terminal was filled. I was happy to see that. I take for granted that I have loads of computers at my disposal. Clearly, the library is meeting a need by making computers available for the public to use. I’m grateful for that.
All in all, I think we have a great library system in Seattle. I’m glad branches have managed to stay open to serve the people of the City.

i lived in broadview when i first moved to seattle. i love this library! it is fairly quiet, with lots of windows for really wonderful natural light. the cookbook section was pretty awesome with lots of interesting topics covered rather than just scattershot selection of one or two books per topic. i live in columbia city now, and our library has irregular hours and crummy selection… i either have to place holds or just go to the central library in order to find the books i want. at broadview, even if i didn’t find exactly what i was looking for, i still left with armloads of books and CDs and DVDs.
as far as parking, yeah, it sucks! i rarely drove here, though. the 5 bus stops right outside the library on greenwood and the 28 is a few blocks down at 127th & 8th. the neighborhood is really quiet and on nice days you can get awesome views of the olympics, so just walk to the library, get some books, and then take the bus home. problem solved!

I’m a huge fan of this library. While it may be beating a dead horse to mention, the selection isn’t the best here. Then again, I find myself buying new or used books more often than borrowing from the library, why I love about this branch is that it’s truly a «shhhhhhhhhhh» sort of library. It’s super quiet and seems to curtail more to adults and rather than kids.
Overalls, the staff is super friendly, they have free wifi, the self checkout is super convenient, and apart from the lacking selection… I’m a fan of this branch.

This is one of my favorite libraries in Seattle. It can be hard to find a place to really spread out and get some good studying done in public places, but this branch manages to provide ample accommodations with lots of seating, plenty of PCs and a great selection.
The location of this branch is a little more out of the way, so the atmosphere is generally calmer and not so crowded. There is space for meetings as well as some cool little nooks to nestle in and chill out with a good book for a while. They also have a nice selection of music and DVDs for those interested.
I have had some frustrating experiences with other branches that came about due to overcrowding or lack of seating. I am glad to be able to recommend this branch without reservation to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable library experience.

I cannot say enough good things about the Seattle Public Library and the Broadview branch.
I love that you can order materials online and receive email notification when the items are transferred to my branch. I love being able to put things on my hold list. It’s like having a Netflix queue for free!
The Broadview branch is light, airy, clean and comfortable. The staff is incredibly helpful. They have evening hours until 8 PM! I wish they opened a bit earlier on Sundays but heck, many branches aren’t even open on Sundays so I will not complain!
If you’re one of those people who hasn’t used the library in 20 years because the librarians in school were mean to you or you think the library only has crap, well, give it a try! The library has come a long way, baby.
P. S. The parking spaces are REALLY small. A drive-​through book drop would be fabulous!

Good things about this branch:
— convenient location
— free wi-​fi
— quiet with no screaming kids
— open, airy, and bright
Bad things about this branch:
— they don’t really have a lot of books
— parking is horrendous
— they close at 5 or 6 on the weekends?!
I’m a fan because it’s close to my house and their lack of selection is redeemed because I can put all the books I want on hold and have them conveniently shipped to my library for me to pick up. The self-​checkout is a little new to me… you just stack your books on the scanner and the computer somehow magically knows which ones you have! Amazing.
I kind of prefer the Shoreline library (or KCLS in general) because it stays open til 9 most nights and you can keep your books for 30 days instead of the 21 here, but it’s about time I become a member of the SPL!

I love the Seattle Public Library, more specifically… I love my local branch! The staff members have always been cool and I’ll stop in every few days to check out their hold shelves for my items. On sunny days, the place is bathed in warm, natural light and I’ve never experienced disrespectful patrons.
I demoted them one star for the horribly narrow parking spaces. I will sometimes wait in my car to park on the outer lying spaces since someone with no spatial recognition HAD to have painted those lines. Or parallel park on the street for ease.
They have a great graphic novel section with loads of comics and manga. And free Wi-​Fi for those who bring their own laptops with them.

I switched home libraries from NG to this location. At first I was happy. It was much closer, less trafficky, the branch didn’t have a bunch of yelling teens out front, staff was nice while we sorted out my change of address, the building looked like a trendy cabin, parking seemed better…
After a while, it’s just ok, and parking isn’t better than the NG location. I guess it’s better to spend the money and space on storing books instead of people’s cars, but the parking is lame. Another tiny lot for about a dozen cars w/​more parking outside of the lot. It’s not even worth attempting to park inside, unless you can see before you’re committed in that direction.
But, it’s my library, so I will keep going here!

At long last, my local library branch has reopened. It has exceeded my expectation in every way! It is bright, functional, has some cool artwork and is in walking distance of my home! If you haven’t had a chance to to check it out, it’s worth your time if you are in the neighborhood.
