South Holland Public Library - Public library in South Holland - 16250 Wausau Ave, USA

Wonderful place for family inspired activities, host a wide assortment of books, console games like XBox, latest movies and audio books for check out. The library was recently remodeled and looks spectacular with ample sitting areas with outlets for cellphones and computers. They have four private study rooms and a teen room for games and activities. They have a variety of programming for every age including card games like Biz Wiz, chess matches, yoga, gardening tips, and dancing. The librarian Christyn Rayford is extremely supportive of the community and creates exciting programs to suit everyone. The library is inviting. There's numerous services including computer usage, study rooms, Fax machines, and notary services. It also has quiet spots to read, write, or just enjoy peacefulness.

They have recently remodeled and it is a great ambiance. They have very good programming for both youth and adults! Very helpful staff!

Been going here for years. I've read through some of the worst reviews and to be frank I question every single one of them. Kids complaining that they came to "draw" and were approached by staff about being quiet, hanging around empty aisles and being asked what they were doing..... and a complaint about having a security guard because???? I guess we'd rather the police be called when the teenagers and homeless/mentally ill are disruptive. I've been to far more affluent libraries... ritzy Oak Park and Evanston all have security. They also both struggle with homeless and otherwise displaced people using the library as some place to go, which is not a crime but it does pose challenges at times. Point being...this is a good library. They have a variety of programs, they made recent upgrades, and they care about keeping it updated and relevant. The staff is not rude nor can I actually list anything to complain about it. If they were not up to speed I'd be happy to detail why here. The fact is...there's no legit reason to complain about it. I'd have given it 5 stars if they actually gut the building and remodel the whole thing...or start fresh. If you know South Holland, that won't happen. Your great great grandkids will use the same library but it'll be clean and have fresh paint with friendly staff. This is a good place.

It's a nice place to take the children for free. We played games, colored and put together puzzles. Everyone was very friendly and the play area was wonderful.

my kinda town south holland is....

My friends and I came after school to study and draw. We sat down next to an outlet by a window seat where it was quiet and we could work. There were two random pieces of wood on the floor but we didn’t question it. A Liberian then came and stared at us then came back asking us if we moved their stuff? Throughout the entire time we were there they kept coming to bother us. Very rude!!!!! They asked us if we were up to something? While we were sitting like everyone else I feel hurt by the way my friends and I were disrespected when we KNOW we did nothing wrong. We sat down like everyone else yet we were targeted. Parents keep your teens away! Stop supporting them they have sour attitudes.

I came to this library with friends to draw and do work and chill. The staff constantly bothers us and continues to be rude to us although we did nothing and they constantly tell us to be quiet and get out of a isle no one go through. I would not recommend coming to this library. Also why do we continue to get racially profiled by these librarians? DO NOT COME IF YOU WANT A RELAXING AND SMOOTH EXPERIENCE.

I love it here! The smell of books (and the large collection of books to choose from), the movies you can choose from, plus if you get a bad disc, when you bring it back, they try cleaning it & fixing it on the spot. If not, they order a new copy so you can finish the movie when it comes in. Everyone is so friendly & helpful, I look forward to going back!
