Southwest Regional Library

Love this library! It’s a smaller branch within FW but they still have great programs! LOVE story time each Wednesday… sadly it often conflicts with bebe’s naptime, but we loved it when we have been able to make it!
Very friendly staff and easy to navigate around. I’ve never had issues with putting things on hold or renewing online (though signing up online is a bit of a hassle the first time).
And for the record – don’t hunt for the bathrooms! They are immediately off to the side when you come through the main entrance!

Beautiful library, lots of natural light near the tables and chairs which is refreshing while studying or reading a book. It also has a large selection of books and such. Only reason I gave it four stars is because the wireless internet can go in and out at times. Most of the time it’s fine though.

I just moved to Fort Worth, but live just outside the «city» limits and could not get a library card here. I was told I had to go to Mansfield to get a card (Texas system) and that card would be good here. Why don’t they just provide the card here if they will accept it here?
I sat down to use the internet which was slower than the 3G on my phone. The primary purpose of coming here. Oh. and I had to get a card to use the free wifi. I was not even able to update the apps on my IPhone.
I wanted to listen to a CD while I was working, but oh no… you can’t do that. The CD cases are locked.
The place was also filled with noisy kids, noisy moms, and people on their cell phones.
Basically, I was not able to accomplish any of the things I wanted while I was here.

Changed their hours! M and Thur 12−8pm, TWSat 10−6pm

I marvel at this library, undoubtedly one of the best libraries I have ever attended, and possibly one of the greatest libraries in the entire United States, if I may use hyperbole to express my admiration for all the lovely men and women who work at this establishment. I have never had a negative experience here, even despite various stressful situations. Everyone here is overly nice, to the extent that you sometimes wonder, «Is this person my future friend?» My wish is that every establishment would have as finely trained and congenial people as employed at the Southwest Regional Library. They get books and movies in from all over the area for you and it is a meretricious thrill to binge-​watch the newest HBO, Showtime and FX series for free with library DVD/​Blu-​Ray rentals. Live forever, is my request, you lovely people.

I love the library! Especially when they are as awesome as this one is.
Located right on Hulen Street, it is hard to miss. When we moved to the area I was happy to find this library nearby. I had just quit Netflix due to their terrible decision to split the dvd by mail and streaming service… and low and behold the library replaced it without missing a beat and for FREE. It is great because you can check out more than 1 movie at a time, I think it is up to 10 out at once, and like 50 total with books or something crazy like that. The ease of the online system is what makes it great though! You can reserve up to 10 movies (dvds and blu-​rays) at a time, and even make lists of movies and books you want to watch later on your account, and it keeps the lists stored so you can always access them. I have an October list of all my scary movies and books, and a summer list for my light reading. It is nice to have everything organized like that and I find I read a lot more now, as I can browse through the selection at home and add it to my lists for later.
For movies, all you have to do is put some new releases on your list and the library will email you when they are ready to pick up, and email you when they are due, it is that easy. They will also order books and movies from all the other libraries in the area and send them to this local branch for you to pickup once again for FREE. I make it my first stop of the day nearly every Saturday to return my books and movies and pick up the new ones waiting for me (yep, I’m a regular at the library — nerd and proud!)
I also have to say the staff here are also 5 star all the way. I haven’t met a single person that isn’t helpful, that doesn’t actually ask how you are doing and mean it, who doesn’t say «nice to see you again!»… Nice. Just a happy feeling getting a big ol’ stack of the newest best sellers and new releases all for the low low price of, say it with me now — FREE!!!
ps– You can now download audiobooks and ebooks from the library’s website too, as well as music (3 songs a week), new stuff like Adele and Mumford & Sons, Etc. for FREE! ha you knew I had to get one more in there.
Yep. I love the library.
