Absolutely wonderful! Big, clean, cool with a very friendly and helpful staff. Wonderful children's section
Staff was surly and rude! I am a HUGE supporter of the library and was so very angered and saddened by their behavior, which I have never encountered before on my visits. They are public servants and should treat the public well. My tax dollars and donations help keep you employed!
Very poor experience, the staff are rude and are snarky. When ever I come into the library to check out a book they're always turning their heads looking the other way, and not wanting to assist me. The facility itself isn't that terrible, the architecture and art pieces are quite lovely acually. But sitting there to read and study is always super noisy, so I always recommend bringing a pair of headphones to block out any background noises. If the libary's staff weren't so miserable then the environment would actually have a bit more enthusiasm. Not the best place for peace and quiet and enjoyment studding for collage examines.

Reviews
The Roswell Public Library receives mixed reviews from visitors. While some praise the helpful and welcoming staff, great book selection, and engaging activities for kids, others express disappointment with unfriendly and unhelpful clerks. Despite limited funding, the library prioritizes children's literacy and community engagement. The building offers a comfortable reading lounge, free Internet access, a fun children's area with papier-mâché sculptures, a Southwest Section featuring books about Roswell, materials on local genealogy and family history, as well as various programs for both kids and adults.Review score

Roswell public library is an awesome place. Being a student I frequent here often. The librarians and staff at the public library are a dedicated set of public servants that have to deal with more than you would anticipate. Awesome people. Great place. 10 out of 10
