    Great librarian on certain days, don't go on a Sunday with children, Saturday it nice, also there a nicer librarian who work on Saturday, has security but sometimes the outside element is sketchy, but the church across from the library give free food to the community certain days out the week, limited computer but quiet and small

    Went to check out the indoor swimming pool. Enrolled for adult and youth classes and Nelson and the rest of the lifeguards are very patient and understanding.

    Nice features of the park, good for older children and younger. There's a basketball court too. I really like that there's access to the library and the town hall in the same space. Many options for activities and such for old and young alike. I've had my son in activities at the town hall and he really enjoyed it, the staff are always very friendly and attentive.

    This location is my second home AND home office! Access to printing, scanning, etc. allows me to stay organized and get more disciplined. And the company of others keeps me from feeling depressed during winter. But Austin's staff is simply the best and most helpful group. They teach kids, adults, seniors how to fill out online applications, access personal accounts and how to surf/seach for whatever you need. They are patient and never give me side eye...<3

    Great! I did have trouble navigating in the snow. Most unfortunately, the he main entrance was neither clearly designated or, most certainly plowed.

  • 5/5 Trevor “TJ” G. 10 months ago on Google
    The staff along with the office people at the Austin Town park, run the park the way it's designed to function. The only adjustment the park needs badly is a haircut. Come on Park District of Chicago, cut that grass and kill them weeds.

    I went to this library and it was really nice real clean people were nice they were helpful I went there with someone but me they're just a visit because I was with someone they were still real nice and friendly toward me so in my opinion I would say this would be a good place to go if you want to go to the library

  • 5/5 Cold M. 2 years ago on Google
    Clean indoors. Hosts many super fun events for the local community, like the college and career fair. Large gym and library next door I think.
