Review from Aly M.
7/29/2009
I came here to avoid the heat of my place--uuuuuuuuuuuggggh. Nice 73 degree air here (I'm sitting near the thermostat, don't worry, I'm not that good). I wanted to take advantage of the free wifi. It's a little packed here (probably other people with the same idea). Earlier my internet was deathly slow because of another person next to me (I think) and when he left it was fine. Of course, more people came by and we'll see how it goes. I don't think it's the library, though, just a lot of people here.
Nice places to sit and cool off. You can sit near windows or just near books. It's friendly and cozy. I definitely will come here again if I'm in the neighborhood. -

Given the economy, I am surprised that the Lake Hills library was even able to get built. It is in sharp contrast to the dodgy structures it fronts as part of the Lake Hills Shopping Center, which has seen better days.
The new library is new, though it still feels like the satellite library of Bellevue. The old library a block away was comfortable, albeit small. This location does improve on it as there is a parking structure below the library, has study rooms and a classroom, plus the lighting is much more bright here. Though the selection here seems a bit limited, it has a decent foreign language collection which is good given the increasing amount of diversity in Bellevue.
For me, it still feels like a community library as this place was quite full on a sunny Saturday afternoon that I visited. This is definitely needed to show justification that libraries are essential to the community in a time of budget cutting. Overall, I like my neighborhood library. It is cozy, is convenient and has long operating hours.Listed in: Places in Bellevue

Huge upgrade from the previous lake hills library that used to be just less than a block up the road. This place is super clean, nice, neat and modern although relatively small.....it's kinda like a little brother version of the bellevue regional library.

A nice, quiet library bordered by the Lake Hillz blueberry fields. I come here in the summer to read and take advantage of their North-Pole-style air conditioning. If they don't have what you're looking for, you can order it. This is where I came across Uzumaki, the creepiest manga series ever (really...) My neighbor growing up was the librarian here in the '70s and '80s. This is a good spot to sit around on a hot day.

Today, I was at the new Lake Hills Library, the celebration was very nice. The building has more room and also is more confortable, well...the peacefull that I feel is the same that I felt before at the old building. I love that place.

A small library in a nice location, near parks and blueberry farm. My only gripe is it is one of the noisiest libraries I have ever been in. I think this is due to it being just one large communal room. Hopefully, the new location (opening in September) will be a little quieter. Otherwise, staff is great, small but you can get anything from the KCLS system sent there.
