Mount Barker Community Library

Best Library in the Community easily to find books that are needed for all kinds of learning and just fun to read.

I haven't been to the adult library for a while, and of course the system's are a little different. The library assistant was so helpful and got me all sorted with new apps and helped me select books. She explained all the different things I can do. I was most impressed.

Walking between wide aisles with shelves of books. Sitting on a comfy chair reading a magazine or paper great atmosphere. The renovations gets a huge tick from me. The most important item within the library are the very helpful friendly staff. 10 out of 10 for a job well done.

Lots of books, friendly staff, clean, organised, and comfortable. Great activities and programs for all ages too!

Fantastic...great space for kids...excellent toy library...playgroup session...

had a gaggle of 'esh-dogs', claiming crip gang even though whiter than paper, threaten me with an RPG (rocket propelled gun) for reading the Harry Potter 3 book before the second one. Timbers, if im being perfectly frank, have indeed been shivered. :'(. Attached image is me post timber-shivered. Very shocked as you can see, although rizzdiculous.

So disappointed. Went there (long drive) to see a particular document in their archive to see if there was an address. The assistant was so dismissive of everything I said. No, that can't be the right reference, no, that won't have an address and more along those lines. I was nearly in tears when she decided to make a speech about how she really was trying to help me and she could see that I didn't think she was. Eventually she left me on a computer so i could look things up for myself and then she rocked up with exactly the document I'd come for! Not a word of acknowledgment that she'd been mistaken. If she'd listened and not dismissed what I'd told her at the beginning the whole neurotic hissy fit wouldn't have happened. I really don't appreciate someone firstly putting up a brick wall and then telling me I'm the one being a pain. Came so close to walking out in tears.

In the last week I've used the printer, scanner, computers, and reserved a book. staff were friendly and helpful, and I was a ke to borrow a USB stick for the scanner.The book came in today, and I was alerted by text. So I went in today to get the book.It was on the holds shelf, and I was able to find the book, and check it out on my library card without having to talk to anyone. Was great.

Really enjoy the occasional visit to this Library. The staff have always been professional and very friendly, very knowledgeable when answering my questions and giving information. It is a nice Library with a nice feel. There is a Toy Library within the center, computers for use and a printing service provided for a fee. This Library is about to undergo some renovations so maybe ring ahead to make sure they are open before visiting. A great Library, well stocked with books and access to online books and magazines also. Highly recommend this service.

Staff lovely. Web site needs updating especially dealing with holidays. Because it always says it's open. Voice message needs to state date of reopening so people know what's going on.
