Have always loved this Library, always helpful when you need something. Great magazine section and DVD and CD section, if they haven't the book your looking for they will help you get it from another library. Keep up the good work.

I only went to use the copy machine this visit. It has a good selection of books, all searchable on computer. It also has a small collection of books for sale - constantly changing of course.

I second the previous review as I am clearly not the first person this library has done this to. They try to rip you off by falsely accusing you of “damaged” books. I check out many books from this library every month or so. I take deliberate care not to damage them. Many of the books I have checked out have had coffee stains and food stains on them from previous renters. Some of the books from this library are not always in tip top condition. My only solution or suggestion is if you take the risk and check out books here, keep photo and video evidence of each book and it’s pages that you take prior to check out to show the condition of it. Which is extremely tedious. I would not use the drop box either.

I do love this library. The material I need is extremely hard to find. One issue I have is people falling asleep. Hear me out. I have health problems. Most of my meds causes drowsiness. A few months back I fell asleep a few times which prompted one of the volunteers to threaten me with trespass if I did it again. But it is okay when this homeless guy (pic) keeps getting a warning from staff and the security guard without warning of a trespass. I have nothing against homeless people. But I don't like the library system being a hypocrite towards me but not this guys. Your system needs to be fixed.

Barbara S. Ponce Public Library | Sep 2, 2021

We are still waiting for direction from AARP on what form tax help will take. Due to COVID there are concerns with face-to-face meetings and having people wait in large groups, and the AARP volunteers are working on how to safely provide tax help. As soon as we know, we will post information on our web site.

I went on the city page for the library and their Facebook as well, I did find posted notice about being closed today (4th), but no specific mention about tomorrow except some thing at 1130 am so I think probably the regular 9 to 5 that's posted for Friday's.
