Spring Hill Public Library

Rick Blanton

Comfortable, quite place with a place for children and plenty of places to relax and read.

Where else in town can you find books, movies and books on cd - for free. Staff was super - courteous and helful.

Don't get too excited about checking out that book or cd or dvd, because if someone has placed that item on hold by either calling or online - after it has been placed on the shelf and made available to the public - and after you have removed it from the shelf to check out - you will have to forfeit it. As a new resident to Spring Hill, I applied for a library card. An item I had brought to the front desk for checkout was scanned, but I was told it was not available to me because someone else had placed it hold after it was placed on the shelf. Having worked in libraries, when an item is checked in, it will be scanned and if there is a hold, it will "trap" for that patron and be placed on the hold shelf. If there isn't a hold, then it is made available by placing it on the shelf. There might be a "hold" list where items are requested then pulled from the shelves or someone may phone in a request and then that item is pulled from the shelf, but once it is placed on the shelf - uh, no. I was told it was the policy of the manager. I said this didn't seem right and called later and asked to speak with the manager - the person I spoke with said she would tell the manager my concerns as did the person at checkout..Whether either was done I have no idea. No child - or adult - wants to take the time to browse and anticipate reading a book or watching a movie only to be told that your item(s) would have to be forfeited to someone who was in line after you. Bad policy. Welcome to Spring Hill.

Amazing library. Very well stocked and all my books I requested come in quickly. The summer reading program is fun for the kids. And the weekly Arts and Crafts are well organized and fun
