Carrollton Public Library

Awesome people! Quiet place! Free wifi! Vending machines and water fountain at front!

i really like this library because they have good books and the librarians will help you if you need help finding a book. they even have an iPad for you to use. this is the place to go if you want to find good books to read.

Nice selection of books. Very convenient location on the newer and growing side of Carrollton closer to Plano off Hebron. Clean facility with friendly librarians. Lots of activities for children. Schedules available online. Free Wi-​Fi. The coffee shop inside closed years ago and has been replaced with a conference room. Has study rooms that can be reserved over the phone or by walk in (when available). Some of the furniture could use some repair or updates.

This Carrollton Library isn’t as large as others, but the place is clean, friendly and quiet…
You can also request books from the other locations.

Carrollton Public Library system was the first library card that I got when I relocated to DFW. Unlike some other library systems in DFW, all Texas residents are eligible for Carrollton library cards (not required to live in Carrollton). They’ve offered computers and free Wi-​Fi for many years.
This particular location is a nice size (not too overwhelming) and has a good selection of books. The library staff is friendly and always willing to help.

This library is around the corner from my house, and I gotta say I am impressed. Although it is not the largest library, the size does not shadow the fact that this is an impressive library. The staff is very helpful, and will show you how to use all the equipment in the library. They have a fantastic checkin/​checkout system, and the hold area is very easy to navigate. They do have a great selection of books, audio, and dvd, but if you are wanting the hottest book around at the moment there will be a wait because they will only have about two copies. Hours is fantastic as well… loved the fact that they are opened on the weekends (Sunday yes!).

This library although not huge, has most the resources and space anyone would need.
Checkin/​Checkout: Machines for easy return and checkout as long as you have library card.
Staff: Very helpful and as long as you ask the correct person, they are able to answer most questions adequately.

I have to be honest. I didn’t use my library card for so long that they removed me from the system. They didn’t just make my card dormant, I was actually booted out completely because it had been so long.
I’m a book hoarder, so I have my own mini library in at home. I’m trying to work on this habit by gradually purging my books and trying not to add to my collection. We are also trying to read the books we’ve not gotten to yet and eventually plan to upgrade to a Kindle.
I’m on a Stephan King kick right now, so I reinstated my library card to check out some books. Unfortunately, they did not have the ONE novel that I wanted to read first so I ended up at Half Price Books anyway. First attempt at library use… FAIL! I’m not giving up though!
The CPE is a really nice, newish library. This location is the bigger of the two libraries in Carrollton. There is a coffee shop in the front, which is pretty snazzy. Books, computers, coffee, and abundant parking… there is so much to like here! There are also lots of events here. I had no idea!
There are meeting rooms in the back. My sorority made use of the meeting room this past year, and it is spartan but workable. I’m not sure if there is a fee or not. It is also a ‘do it yourself’ deal where the organization is responsible for setting up and taking down chairs and tables. There is a little kitchen area off to the side of the room, so food is allowed.
I also appreciate the online capability for reserving or extending the time for books. Very cool indeed! This library is very user friendly in so many ways, and I will be making better use of it!
