Woodridge Library

Helpful staff. Well organized. Nice offering of programs. Easy to request materials from other libraries. Always a pleasant experience.

I love this library! The selection is great for both books and music. It is easy to put books/​music on hold and get them from other libraries. The ebook options are a wonderful addition to the collection.

This is my happy place.
The books I’m looking for always seem to be available. The ladies are always very nice and helpful. The SWAN catalogue is easy to use.
Love love love

Very good simple library with all you would expect from the library that has a low budget.

Love it. Free Wi-​fi, books on e-​readers, videos, and of course books. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

I never thought I’d have to review the library, or that libraries even had Unilocal accounts… BTW, did you know that Unilocal only has 2 ½ stars; on Unilocal???Look it up. Anyway, I have always been a major supporter of the library and come every week. It’s a shame I don’t see more parents taking advantage of everything they have to offer. The reason for this review, and the 3 stars, is the return process has proven to be a nightmare. On more than one occasion I have returned books and watched them be scanned in and witnessed the girls miss one of the books when scanning them in. Guess what happens when they don’t get scanned in? That’s right! It gets shelved while you rack up fines. I though I had caught this mistake each time it happened but now I have a bill in the mail for a book I returned 2 months ago, and is either on their shelf or rented out to someone else. Even better is this bill, which is one step from «collections» (it’s only $ 25) is in my 6 year old’s name. Time for the library to dust off the fair debt collection practices act, and stop sending collection notices to minors. I think after I pay it I will walk them over to the shelf and show them where the book is, the book I’ll be taking home because I just bought it!

A very nice and evenly spread out library. The kids are away upstairs from the sdult. They have a nice labtop section with a great view of outside. Nice ceilings and plenty to choose from on audio books to cds, to old fashion actual books. This place has plenty of computers for those without their own and a cool teen aection that I wish all libraries had when I was a kid.

I am recommending the Woodridge Public Library for its excellent children’s department. It is a great stop for parents and teachers to find great educational DVDs. In particular, there is a vast collection of Bill Nye the Science Guy DVDs that children love. In addition, the library has a large parking lot and accessible drive-​up material drops.

Plenty of selection, one of the first I knew with BlueRay and a great place to work if you head all the way through the adult section.

I’ve been going here since I was 12 year’s old when my family first moved to the area and it’s not exaggeration when I say that I visit here at least once a week (even 3 times a week one summer!). I love this library and ever since they renovate it, included the Swan circulation borrowing system, it ha become my favorite resource to go to for reads, and in the past decade, media content. Forget Block Buster, even Netflix (which I love), but during my college days and days of unemployment, this is the single place where I knew I could go to find entertainment, feed my brain and to just keep busy!
Needless to say, that I saved a lot of money borrowing magazines, borrowing movies, music, audiobooks, and just about anything that I could think of. There is even the Mango language online tool to learn another language. The library is probably one of the most under-​used resource within a residential community so it just makes me happy to see that from time to time, young adults and kids are still coming in. Someday, when I have a family of my own, the public school and library system is going to be the most influential factors that would affect my choice of residence.
Most of the staff here (99%) are very friendly and quick to help you check out and answers your questions. There was a couple of times where one of the staff woman wasn’t particular welcoming but after several observances, I saw that it was just her personality and she was like that to everyone and it wasn’t just me. That made me feel a bit better (and I thought it was because I was coming in too much!). Anyways, I’m still a fan regardless and so I give all 5 stars! (Maybe it’s suitable for 4 but since this one is my hometown, it’s gonna get a little of a bump, sorry folks!) =P

Actually, I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.
I like this library. I like that the children’s section is up on the second floor so that I do not have to listen to their giggles, screaming, tantrumming, and whatnot. (Trust me, I really do love children).
I like the contemporary look, the windows, the hours. My only complaint was the one time the librarian refused to remove the books I had selected from the basket. What was that all about? Anyway, the rest of the staff has been most helpful and accommodating. The 3 day grace period is much appreciated.
