This library is one of my favorites in the metro. The atmosphere mellow. The space is clean. The employees are friendly and helpful. The noise is minimal as expected. Plus they had every book/movie/game/magazine/ audiobook I looked up. They also have enough computers to supply the amount of guest that visit. It's great to have a place to go to that you can concentrate on what is needed. Thank you Urbandale Public Library. For being that community safe place to learn and grow a curious mind!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
