text: If you are a work from homer then sometimes you just need to get out of your crib and find a quiet spot to be all kinds of productive Sometimes this productive place outside the home is a local coffee shop a cafe or even gasp a library Yes folks a library Where it is supposed to be all sorts of quiet and somber I decided to pack up my laptop and bring her to the Myers Park library branch yesterday to focus and be productive outside of my housennHeres the thing about the major changes with the CharMeck library systems as of late because of the budget squeezes funding cuts and closings around the county the libraries are really full at really odd times Like a Tuesday afternoon I figured this out yesterday as I tried to grab a cubby and get some work done No such luck No open tables either And really though I cannot blame them This particular branch is pretty small and does not have a ton of working space Plus because many of the other larger branches are closed on Tuesdays the Myers Park branch gets a ton of their overflow nnThus the library was chock full of kids Internet surfers and folks coming in and out to use their services I take no issue with the crowded factor as this branch is clearly serving its community and its needs Yay for that Just keep it in mind that this may not be as quiet as you thinknnThe folks who work here are very very sweet and helpful Not only did they help me find a few books for an upcoming beach trip but I also overhead them helping anyone and everyone with a question or issue As previously mentioned there is a bank of individual cubbies for the working bees and a few tables near the back if you are lucky enough to score one Literature wise this is a small branch But I highly recommend searching for your books online and you can request that the be put on hold at whichever branch you like Thus whichever library that has said books will send them over to the Myers Park branch or whichever branch you designate online and they will notify you when they are ready to be picked up Stroll on over to the branch pick up your books hit up the selfcheckout and poof Instant literature blissnnA few other things to note about this particular location the parking is easy but can be tight when they are busy They offer free WiFi and have a small but diverse selection of magazines and media at your disposal Here is hoping that the county figures it out and supports our library structure as a whole They should be open every day folks
