Lexington Public Library, Central Library

It is a really great place. The only issue I have ever had is the homeless population outside its doors. But they can't help that.

We loved coming to the kids section of the library. There’s so much for them to do. As the weather has gotten colder there’s a large homeless population in the building. While I certainly understand allowing them in the building it makes me very uncomfortable that they are in the children’s section. Every time I’ve come there are adults laying on the ground around or inside of some of the children’s play toys. They often don’t have children with them. I’ve also been there when they have sat inside the children’s section yelling and cursing at each other. We often leave or no longer go as I don’t feel comfortable or safe allowing my toddlers to play there. I’m not sure why adults with no kids need to be on toddler play equipment or inside of the play area when there are plenty of other places in the library to go. I’ve thought about complaining to the people working there but they seem like college aged women and I don’t feel comfortable asking them to do anything. The library needs to keep security on the children’s floor and enforce adults with kids are the only ones allowed to be in there. Unfortunately I know many people who no longer go because of this problem.

My fave of all the library branches. I visit several times per week and always enjoy my time there. It's well maintained, clean, and very well organized. The staff are pleasant and helpful, many will go out of their way to help you. The public computer lab is an awesome asset for anyone who needs it. Awesome library! A+

It's a shame that the main library does not open downtown as it does at Russell cave and a couple others I believe they can open up and let a few people go in at a time for a certain amount of time but they decide to get the easy money and get paid without having to worry about anybody else I guess.

Very nice library! I love the pendulum!
