5 reviews for McCully-Moiliili Public Library
I grew up with this library. It's only a few blocks away from my childhood home and I spent a great many weekends (and after-school afternoons) here. Fond fond memories.
So I might be biased. Looks-wise, this library wins no awards. The librarians, however, are a mixed crew of both stern and friendly. I can't blame them for being stern, though their former security guard was a pain in the arse to my middle-school self. They have since hired new ones, though I don't know how much of an improvement they are.
The kids' section (bottom floor) is what wins this library awesome kudos. The adult section is pretty decent and they have a good variety of foreign-language stuff. Their young adult section used to be very awesome in a niche at the back of the adult level (2nd floor). They've moved it though and I don't like it. I'm just not used to the way there's no space for the teenagers/younger "adult" readers.
This library is a sensation!
I would have given 1 star but I used to like to go there so I gave it an extra.
This library killed my library experience..
I used to love the library a lot. Used to borrow a lot.. Not so much since this library screwed that up.
Couple years ago I went on a Friday to borrow 3 books.
I went to drop it in the slot on Sunday night since I finished them and was busy that week and didnt want to loose them in my sort of messy room at that time(lol).
So I dropped them in, there was no damage to them at all. didnt bend no pages or anything,it wasnt raining either.
I get a call up the next day.
Apparently my books got soaked somehow and you know how they dry they were ruined. They told me I was to pay for them.I was pissed off because I know that I didnt do anything to them.I told them they were fine when I put them in. But of course its a he said she said. So I went down there with my mom (since she was with me when I dropped them in) and once again we told them the books got damaged when they were in their care and not ours.
We asked to see them and they pulled out this box from under the desk, I was trying to look, but the dumbass was blocking the way,she stood up and bam! she shoved it back under as fast as she pulled it out.
They showed it to us and they were indeed ruined. I smelt them to see if some idiot went and maybe peed on it or something but it didnt smell. SO we still argued a bit but then ultimatly just paid for the books and left pisst off. She said I wouldnt be able to borrow any books any where unless I paid, so thats why I just ended up paying.
Thats basically it.I never had trouble with the drop in box before.
I think one of the stupid workers there went and probably dropped some water on the books or something and blamed it on me.
So this is why I dont go and borrow books anymore (well, at least there I havent and will never go back if I have to borrow a book) I know your probably thinking I dont need to drop it in the box but that is besides the point to me.
So be wary if you use the drop in box there.
This library is a dream for the parents of small children. The children's section takes up the entire first floor. It includes an extensive library of children's videos and DVD's, which you can borrow for a dollar each (and keep for a week). There are all types of good books for every reading level. There's a carpeted sunken area, where kids sit, stretch out, read or have their parents read to them. The adult books are upstairs, including a nice DVD and video collection.
Small and dingy, this is after the remodel. The computers always have a waiting line, they have limited assortment of books.
