A great place to go and enjoy public concerts such as the symphony. Plenty of food stations and restrooms for large crowds!
MoreBeyond books, it has public access computers, a maker lab, public meeting venue. An upgrade from your typical library. Smells like hobo during the summer.
MoreModern, equipped with good technology, it's a great resource in the Eugene area. Membership is free for residents and the book selection is vast.
MoreThe motto of the Eugene Public Library must be Serve the Community. The structure is enormous for a city of Eugene's size, which also has a major research library at UO. The building is located very close to the city's transit hub, and close to pubic parking. Citizen access is encouraged in many ways. Spots for people to park bikes are very well used, reflecting another, healthy virtue of Eugene's zeitgeist. The stacks (shelves) are chock-a-block with a very good selection of books the general reader hopes to read, and holds mini-collections, right there on the shelves, of books a thoughtful librarian choose because a) the subject is locally important; b) the subject is topical and important; c) the public seems to want to read about the subject; and d) just because.Facility standards are great. The periodical reading area, for example, is a bright, open space with ample seating. The library takes providing internet access to patrons to heart. Access is free; the need for this amenity is obvious to the casual visitor.Of municipal public libraries in smaller cities, the Eugene Public Library is an example other cities could study and learn much.
MoreMy out of town friends are always impressed by our local library. Beautiful construction with so much natural light. One of the largest DVD collections any where.
