People of St Cloud and surrounding communities, you have a gem of a library! I’ve been to libraries all over the country and this one has become a favorite. Beautifully designed, an exceptional inventory, just an all around amazing resource! Bravo!
A Very nice library, with massive square footage. Also a well run facility, with polite staff & quite clean. A large amount of private table and chair places to read. You can find nice, comfortable spots to just be alone. Which is what I call a great library.
Staff very friendly, especially when helping children get their new library cards.
Dangerous place to go. I used to really love this library. I'd spend a few hours each weekend browsing books, and my granddaughter was always delighted to check out a few kiddie books, as well. Today was a very different experience and I will not be returning. I was upstairs choosing books when I heard a man yelling profanities loudly. He was seated at the computer area and a staff member was asking him to quiet down. He refused and the staff member went back to her desk. He continued to loudly mutter that he's killed before and he'll do it again. He said to himself (but addressing the staff member, I assume) that he's not stupid and he has rights and continued to say he'll kill everyone in here. He continued on and on. I approached the staff member and told her this man was still behaving erratically and she told me she's aware and that he was really agitated today. He eventually left on his own when he was ready. Why was he allowed to stay? Why weren't the police called? I am still shaken and very relieved my granddaughter was not with me. How sad that responsible citizens can no longer enjoy the public library for fear of mentally unstable outbursts.
Great river regional is the best. I go there every two weeks and also get kindle books online. The staff are very nice and helpful. It is a great resource for the St Cloud area. I highly recommend.
Super friendly staff! I love that you can pick up free covid tests, get free bookmarks, and use the computers. It's nice and quiet at this location and they have a really easy to use self check-out. My only issue is while they have a large selection, everything i wanted was not in stock.
Every one I spoke with was very helpful and friendly. A great place to visit, for more than just the above reasons.
One of our favorite places to go! The bookstore is great to browse and stock up on new reads with at home! The kids love the play area and the computers. Wonderful staff, selection of books, and flexibility of meeting room space.
Been going to Elk River Library 20 years. Maybe a year ago they started laying books spine down in one section of the library, the requested area. Why do they hid the title in this one area? So have to pull books out, lift them up to find out which book is mine. Of course, the rest of the ER library books are standing up so the eye can scroll down the line to find the book you want. They shouldn't be making it more difficult to find books. I mentioned this twice to library employees but it wasn't corrected.
The library has a great little store to buy used books and things. Magazines are free. They sell greeting cards, dvds, and more. If you’re not looking to buy, consider dropping off your books to help the library make a little money. If a volunteer isn’t working, there is a Dropbox for money if you are purchasing something. It is located right by the front door on the left.
What is there not to love about this huge library with fantastic staff members. Plenty of study rooms. Plenty of study tables near windows to enjoy some sunlight. Helpful staff.
The St. Cloud Public Library is great!! It’s clean, well organized, and designed beautifully. It’s a great place to get work done or study. The library staff are always friendly and helpful. Signing up for a GREAT library card is very simple too. There is a vast catalog available at the library. Multiple resources are available at this location. An amazing public service that centers around the St. Cloud community ☺️💖
