Great Northwest Library

Nice selection of books. Staff is kind and helpful. The kids love seeing the fish in the children’s area when we visit. Seating is comfortable and plentiful.
We enjoy the homeschool programs that are offered here.

This is a cute little library with a nice area for kids. It was super quiet when we went. I love all of the color and how organized everything is!

Great 😃 library! The employees were so helpful and knowledgeable and polite!

Great library! Good selection of children's books. Kids enjoy the fish tank. Currently closed for renovations, when will it be re-opening?

Clean, spacious library with kind and welcoming staff. Their Friday morning Kid’s program is amazing! They put a lot of effort, heart, and soul into the program, and there are many well thought out activities for children and their caregivers. I am so happy that SAPL is reintroducing more of the children’s events and I hope to attend more of these in the future.

We miss the library my kid love going! Hopefully they open soon 🙏🏻

I've been in San Antonio for about 8 years now and I haven't got a library card. I'll go in they get me taken care of and they were very nice. They were calm because I was a little upset because I didn't understand things. They were very nice and professional . I didn't have to wait they saw me immediately got my information got my keychain card and got my library card.. haven't gotten anything yet but it's a nice little place it's next to the shopping center 10 minutes walk from my house. Right now you are required to wear a mask while in the building. Which I have no problem with. And usually open from 10:00 to 6:00 I believe.

Actually I went to vote early. The line was long about 40 yards . However as I was making my way to the end of the line ,a very nice gentleman told me handicappers go to front of the line .
I voted and thanked the gentleman, Jesse.
HANDICAP got me HANDICAP license plates . I taught cool I can park up front now .
However, hey your HANDICAP go to the front ,let him by he's HANDICAP. Went to show my ID'S , hey are you HANDICAP. I wanted say no its Halloween and I'm getting a head. Start . Went to the voting booth and again I get ,you're HANDICAP.
If I didn't know I HANDICAP I knew it now.
OTHER THAN THAT LIFE IS GRAND .

SAPL is a great library system, and Great Northwest is a nice local branch. Nothing fancy, but they have a decent selection and the staff are friendly and helpful. And of course you can always request a book and it will be held for you at your preferred location.

Went to library to vote in early voting for primary election

We have been using this branch regularly for the past 5 years. We have visited other branches, but we prefer this one not only because it is close to our home but because it has a more homey feeling. It may not be the newest or most up to date, but it has what you need and is clean and well organized. They have done some recent updates in the past couple of years, also.
The staff is helpful, there is a large selection, and being part of the whole San Antonio Library system allow you access to the material at other branches, so you can put something on hold to be brought here and the system notifies you when it is available to pick-up.
We have been especially grateful for the adept staff during the pandemic and the offering of curbside pick-up. We were able to check out over 800 items during this time.
In addition, this is a voting and early voting location.

Am new in town and Jordan at the front desk was a true gem in helping me find what I needed in the library; I also had other questions and needed help printing and he took the time to help me get it done. Great customer service is hard to find but not at this library. Printing is affordable at 20 cents per page for black and white. They've got lots of kids activities and looks like a great family oriented library. Date of visit: Sept 25 2019

Great Northwest Library had exactly what I wanted!

This library was a really pleasant surprise. Really good selection and generous check-out periods. The staff are friendly and have helped us several times when we were trying to find specific books. The children's area is nice too.

Went to early vote about 2pm today. The line looked long, but it went by really fast. Took a total of 24 minutes, from the time waiting in line until the time I exited the building. Great polling site!

We just moved to San Antonio & tried to find a quality story time for my twins. I have taken our kids to many libraries over the years & this is one of the best I've seen. Cari & Theresa plan a lot of learning activities for toddlers. Veronica is a volunteer who helps out. They are kind, understanding & friendly. Absolutely love the people & their program...THANK YOU!

Everytime I go and need help, staff is always friendly and helpful. When I call, they are very helpful. I love this library!!

Everyone has a great time at the Great Northwest Library. Our family have been coming for more that 12 year's great staff and volunteers. Our family have been entertained by the programs they sponser my son gained love for reading by listeng to stories being read to him by Great Northwest staff also by watching the experiments the science guy did. And when my son was old enough and began reading on his own... He could win a free book. Thank you Great Northwest Library for being here for our community.

I have three small children and we enjoy coming to this library! There is a separate and spacious children's area with a large selection of books. There have a small aquarion that keeps my littles very entertained. I especially appteciate the amount of activities they have work children every day. This has been my favorite library to take my children to.

They're currently doing curbside pickup only. The staff was friendly and helpful when I spoke with them over the phone to ask questions about my visit. I was in and out in less than 10 mins and now I've got a book to keep me company in quarantine.
