WOW! This is how a library should be! Part of it is laid out like a bookstore with sections marked off making it easy to find what you're looking for. When you first walk in there's a section of the new books on display. There are lots of people working there so you don't have to wait in long lines.
The multi-media section is unbelievably HUGE! The DVDs/CDs/Audio and Visual materials has its own ROOM. It's laid out like a video store making materials easy to find.
I like to park in the underground garage since it's closer to the entrance (although you have to take the elevator or stairs up to the main level). -

Oh, Palatine Library, how I adore you. You always have everything I'm looking for. Your magazine selection is exquisite, your books are marvelous, your employees are friendly, and your audiovisual section is so large that it requires its own room!! You never seem to be too crowded either. I don't have to wait long in the checkout line, a computer is always available, the building is quiet, and I can usually find a place to sit. You feed my mind beautifully.
There is just one main thing about you that I don't like: parking is odd with the one-way path and tight parking spaces. Some parking spots are located kind of behind the building and I have to walk around to get to the front door. Why did you do this to me? However, I don't mind because I can always find a spot and get in and out quickly or take my sweet, sweet time depending on the nature of my visit. Still, I do wish you had planned your exterior layout a bit better.
Other libraries have tried to tempt me away, but you are near and dear to my, my new love. I am faithful to you. You do a pretty swell job at keeping me happy. I hope we do not need to break off our affair any time soon. See you later this week, love! -

We are now no longer being forced to walk in the road during construction on the East Side so I'm going to upgrade this one star review for what should be a 5 star library to 3 stars because of the STILL dangerous outdoor parking that forces you to walk across traffic entering or exiting a dark parking garage. I still believe the outdoor parking lots should be named after the architect AND Library Board President that brought the gavel down on that, imo, dangerous design. Anybody know the names?
Please be careful! -

The library is open with very good hours and a very friendly staff, during the summer the library gets decorated for the kids and also for christmas and other holidays. The saturday movie service is quite nice as it allows you to go on the cheap and still get "big screen" viewing. The selection of books is quite amazing for such a small looking building. The areas are not very crammed and it is extremely accessible.
And, they have free broadband Wi-Fi access. Makes for a great place to go when your houses internet is down. -

The parking is a little odd, but the books are great! :) The different sections are well marked, and there is a nice kids' section too. Lots of different programs and the staff are helpful.

Rarely are there two great libraries so close to one another. This library offers a very easy going setting of tranquility and peace. It offers its patrons a quiet relaxing escape and a breathtaking view away from the urban sprawl.
