Kent District Library - Wyoming Branch

This library is pretty nice and chill, and maybe it is the only library I will go to. Employees are fast and easy to go by to sign up for your card. In general, they are very helpful and nice too! Many interesting books like history, holidays, or even fiction are all here in all genres, with a pretty good selection of great-quality books. Some places are great to read about, like the red chairs (in photos). Some of the places, like the 30-second video, are a little loud as they are kind of near a playground. The play place, however, has a wide selection of things for children's underage to enjoy, including boxes of toys of blocks, cars, maybe tracks, and more! The fish tank is just cool. They have a beautiful art gallery and a donation room at the front as you walk in. 5/5 experience

Love my library. Good selection of large print is great for us old people. Helpful staff. Recent upgrades have deleted some of my reading list though.

The staff here is always so great. It isn't always the quietest after school, since lots of kids hangout there after school, but they have gotten a lot better about the noise control. I take my special needs friend there a lot, and she loves the variety of books, the scavenger hunt, and the staff. They do a great job at trying to figure out what book she is looking for, or character, and they even walk her directly to the book(s) she is looking for.

I actually like the setup of the Wyoming Branch Library off 32nd Street and Michael! I only went to use the scanner. You have a semi private area where you can scan to your email, usb drive or even Google drive. The workers are very nice too. The building is going through some renovations as it’s a cool eclectic looking space like a theater. Go check it out!

We love this library for story time, playing in the kids area and a great kid's area all around. There are usually some kinds of activities (a few play tables, scavenger hunts). Especially great for rainy or snowy days when you need to get out but don't want to spend money! ♥ we love the library!

Love this library, my kids and I come here often, great place for them to roam and learn so much.

Best library I have ever seen!
Best for all age groups. Nice and polite staff. It’s always love to see kids having fun in such a nice place.

Best library in the Grand Rapids area! We love it.

The isn't the branch we normally go to as we are closer to Grandville but, I decided to take the kids here for the new Summer Wonder program they have going on and the kids activities they had were fun! All of the branches are doing fun games and prizes this year. We went inside to return some books and get new ones and I was really blown away by how nice the building is. There is a small art gallery, a stage/banquet area in the back, a really nice children's play area, and just overall a really nice library. The water feature in the front is really cool. The staff is friendly and helped me find a book I was looking for. I also love the homeschool learning bags. I will be using these over the summer to avoid learning loss!

Wonderful library with plenty of private rooms, kids and toddlers area, teen area, as well as a great selection of movies, CD’s, and video games!

Such a great library, beautiful nature around it with a ton of natural lighting. Nice size too and availability of study rooms

Such a big selection! Books, movies, video games, and more. Also a great kids section plus activities throughout the month for both kids and adults. I love my local library.

Great library with a vibe that makes you want to hang around longer. Waterfall on glass sculpture, the sound of the water is beautiful. Love the private study rooms!

I don't have any problems with this library branch. Great service, clean and tidy. Friendly librarians

I loved the huge fireplace in the quiet reading room.

Blown me away the first time I walked in,, soo many books and a nice building, nice staff. I'm 42 years old and have not been to a library since I was 19 years old. My daughter needed books for school big applause to kids who like reading because most adults can not even spell. The place was easy from the get go. Had to sign up on there dated computer which reminded me of middle school. I got a library card made of plastic a user id and pin password to check the books out. They have dk security, so if you try to steal a book that guy is the man. Don't do it. Lol. Overall great my daughter said she loves it because they have more books then her christian school. They have this cool computer machine that you slide a book under and the red scanner reads what the book is. Very high tech. Very awesome facility. Plus my new movie rental business see photos

Thanks

Clean, quiet, and has a wide selection of literature. The librarians are helpful and friendly. Also the women's restroom is always clean and probably the cleanest restroom I've ever used. Great place to take kids especially when covid isn't restricting the activities they offer.

My fiance often brings out munchkin for child story time and attends the Mama Bear Support Group. Three library even has a play nook for the younger children. This library also has Wonder Books which will help read the book to you for those beginning to learn how to read, or want someone to read the book to them. Sounds like a pillar of the community to me.

I have needed help several times,and the staff is ALWAYS very kind + knowledgeable about my needs. Love this library!

I love this branch and have always loved this branch BUT this review is specifically for the librarian working the checkout desk today, January 19, 2022, at approximately 1230. I did not catch your name because I was far too ashamed after having made a $4 purchase from the bookstore with a $100 bill, but you showed far more composure and kindness than anyone could have expected of you as you counted out $21 in quarters. I'm sorry my timing was so poor and I'm sorry I didn't have smaller bills. You are truly a luminary, a scholar of our age, and I owe you a life debt. Should our paths cross again be sure I will do everything in my power to help you as you helped me. Again, I am truly sorry, but you are an outstanding individual, and I wish you all the best.
