Everett Public Library

Since I was here, there appeared to be a change in personnel. Everyone that I encountered was friendly and eager to assist. I was truly impressed with what I saw today.

Super cute library. Best of the sno isle libraries in my opinion. Less of a selection but you can always order what you want online and have it delivered to your closest sno isle library. Staff was friendly. Parking was ample. Will be back for story time!

I have been a patron of the Evergreen branch library for over 20 years. It is small enough to feel like a real neighborhood library (A Carnegie e.g.) but large enough to have the resources like current magazines, newspapers, some dvds, great music cds, and quick read books– little gems you can just pick up quickly. The staff are so very knowledgeable and helpful. Whenever I have requested a book, they have ordered it or gotten it from their inter-​library system. There are also many internet stations, with comfy chairs, round tables for studying & a quiet atmosphere.
One bonus is their offering these wonderful book bags. I have several in different colors and new styles since they have varied them when they re-​order. One of the bonuses is the «NEW BOOKS» section, both fiction & non-​fiction. There’s a padded bench in front of the shelves they are on, so it’s handy & comfy to browse & peruse.
They have only two handicapped parking spots, however, they are not always taken. They also have automatic door openers which helps a lot when you have a bag of books to carry or an armload of them. Someone with mobility issues can easily use this library.
This is definitely my favorite library; the Main library may have more books, cds, dvds, and reference material but it’s not easy getting around with stacks up on a second floor and too much space.
I understand they are going to be remodeling the Evergreen branch, expanding it & offering larger meeting rooms, etc. I hope they keep the coziness of this library & the separation of the kids’ section. I love you, Evergreen branch. please don’t change too much!!!

Story time was fun… I like how many american girl mags I saw and the play toys were the same as the main branch. Only difference I see is size so well go here instead of the main from now on. The parking garage in the main always makes my clothes stink. Nothing like not wanting to go to a library right? But I have a new spot its all good in everett.

Cool local library. There aren’t many spots available to study but I like how theblibrary is virtually divided as much for kids as it is for adults!
The Evergreen Branch does best at sustaining a local feel. This library is but no stretch a large bldg, but has all the essentials: magazines, DVDs, newspapers, comfortable seating, internet stations, and amiable staff. I think it’s adorable that it’s split up directly in half for the kids and adults. The kids section has a rug area that reminds me of story time, while the adult section (non-​dirty) is filled with leather chairs and tables.
The local ambiance feels great until it gets crowded. When it does, you hear everything that everyone is thinking, doing, and feeling. I swear, a person sneezes and you will know it’s precise epicenter. Furthermore, you have those that talk on their cell phones all the dang time. Basically, it’s not the best study location. But, it’s a great location for kids, casual reading, free DVD rentals, and internet use. Did I mention they have the entire 1 – 4 seasons of the OFFICE? Why didn’t I know about this earlier?
If you haven’t been, you must go!

Pretty nice library, good staff, plenty of internet computers, and wifi, bathrooms were dirty. Piano player all day long, nice touch to the atmosphere.

This is the best library. The librarians are so fun and knowledgeable and clearly book nerds. They also have lots of free groups and classes. I love their quick pics section where they feature multiple copies of suggested reading that you can just run in and snag. I also love that they are open every day of the week. Their website is great. I frequently order things from home, get an email and run down and snag them. In addition, if you want a book that they don’t have, they can get it on interlibrary loan from a different system or even state, free of charge. EPLS is just a great community resource.
