Spiro Public Library

I was at Spiro library two days ago. While the librarian is very sweet and soft spoken, she left me four times to wait on other people and made my visit last twice as long. First it was for a phone call that she said was the BIG boss, which I would think the BIG boss would want her to put her on hold while she waits on a customer, and not sit on a 15-minute phone call saying how much she just is enjoying her job because business is picking up, and she's doing do much in the way of getting craft bags and books out.. Then someone from her newspaper walked in, she left me a second time to have a chat with him. Then I have 10 minutes left on my computer time, I'm trying to pay for my prints, and scan an email back to the computer, three people walk in looking for information on the history of Spiro she leaves me AGAIN, to go sit and talk with them. She did this not just once but twice. I was in the library over a half hour longer than I intended to be, and I had about 6 minutes left to confirm that my emails went through from their printer. I had to interrupt her from talking to the other people to tell her 'look you've got my card on your desk, let me pay for my prints and go.' She kind of acted annoyed and asked me 'what card is that?' I said 'my library card sitting on your desk.'. Again like I said a sweet soft spoken lady but obviously with ADD so bad she can't focus on one customer at a time. Don't go there if you're in a hurry. I don't care if she does work for the newspaper.

The Spiro Library staff is so rude. My husband, Me and my 14 year old daughter take Covid 19 serious and we all wear a mask everywhere. We Take precautions when going out. Me and my daughter decided to go the the Spiro Library, where we noticed that there other patrons in the library a couple of them were coughing without wearing a mask. No consideration for other patrons. I asked why are they allowing other patrons inside sick and not wearing a mask, the librarian would not answer me and then asked us to leave and we respectfully left. They don't take this pandemic serious when over 400k people have died from it. Me and my husband has made a decision that our family will never again step foot back into this library. I strongly suggest for your safety and your families safety and to help avoid getting sick. Stay away from the Spiro Public Library!!

I don't recommend Spiro Public Library. The branch manager (Shannon Elder) and her assistant (Delanie) are rude, disrespectful and condescending. They make their new patrons feel uncomfortable. Also they are not taking Covid-19 serious. They don't make people wear masks. They are afraid of losing money and patrons. They don't care about public health and safety. The only thing they do have is markers to remind patrons of the 6 feet distance. And that is it. There was a 35 year old woman with her 3 kids in the library last week, none of them wearing a mask. 2 of the kids started coughing with out covering their mouths. If you don't want to catch Covid-19 then stay away. Spiro Public Library is a hotspot petri dish for Coronavirus. My friends and family won't be going back in there.

Nice and friendly service
