Everett Public Library

Just moved to Seattle and scoping out local libraries. The Everett Library isn’t bad but they got strange rules. An elderly security guard asks me to put away a bag of walnuts I was munching on but yet I see some lady with a Chihuahua dog sitting across from me by the public internet computers and he walks straight by her, LOL
This is the first time I have seen dogs allowed in a library;

I live at Library Place, right next to the library, so I come here all the time. Hours are great. Access to computers is free as well as printing 5 pages a day. If you want to print more, you just have to pay 10 cent per page or 15 cent for double sided. They have a copier which obviously copies but also scans as well. You can scan a document, put it on a thumb drive, and have it or email it. The library has a thumb drive you can borrow.
They have a lot of top rated books (Good Reads or book clubs) and if it’s a popular book, the wait is usually not too long. They also have DVD movies and music CDs that you can check out. Folks are friendly and helpful. They usually also have some books and old records for sale… cheap.
Bookend Coffee shop is nice to have right there at the library!

After having returned from living in Berkeley for a year, this library is pretty great! With ample large tables and desks for independent study, this library will certainly have space and the wifi to fulfill your study needs. The wifi runs at a decent speed and doesn’t crap out on you. Thank goodness b/​c that’s the only reason why I’m here. Also, if you’re lucky, you might find a pleasant spot near the west side where you can get an epic view of Puget Sound. The library is neat and clean and people are generally courteous. There’s a café next door to keep you going, and a friendly security guard who will chat it up with you if you so desire.
Overall, it’s a pretty neat and spacious library with plenty of parking. Even if you don’t need to study, it’s a great spot to check out, at the least.

We love exploring libraries throughout Snohomish county, and attend various events and programs at each. My daughter and I came here to attend a program and chose several items to check out. Well, because we do not live in Everett I’d have to pay to get a library card for this library. Ok, its not part of the snoisle system, they take no money from snoisle to run their programs, so they want to take money from me? Hogwash! My taxes help pay for snoisle libraries, if you’re not part of the system, then too bad. Hope everyone enjoyed putting away the 20 items I left at the desk. Pay for a library card? NEVER!
