The staff is friendly and helpful. I really appreciate them. I just hope the hours can be restored to pre-covid.

Burien Library is convenient for locals like myself. Who do not own a car. It is right on 152nd and 4th Ave S.W. Next to Town Square Park, and near shopping and restaurants. I'm not happy with the reduced days and hours due the Covid-19 pandemic, that still continues as day of this writing this review, end of December 2021. But I suppose they have staff shortages like other kinds of establishments. It is not the most well laid out in form or functionality, but when I need to check out a book, or DVD to watch at home. They do have a great selection to choose from, or husband finds many using there web site to select what we want, place a hold or request for particular DVD. Then once it arrives we pick it up there, when we our downtown in Burien.

As always the staff helped. The selection of materials is very good. I have used this library for decades. We have had Toastmasters meetings and contests there. We have always enjoyed the facilities, staff and community.

The library is very spacing and open, the seating is comfortable and we'll spaced for plenty of room between people. Computers available for quick catalog searching and other computers for personal use. The AC adds to the comfort, and it's generally quiet which allows one to focus on your tasks or reading. The staff if friendly and helpful, wasn't difficult to get a library card.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

You need to return them at another branch. Boulevard Park branch is most likely the closest branch to use for returning items.
