A wonderful place for book lovers. They have an amazing selection. Two buildings and 6 floors of quiet, book- filled wonder. There are specific areas for playing at game consoles, and two large computer station areas. The top floor leads out to...
a room & balcony with seating where art classes are held. On the historic side of the library is an amazing setup for viewing historical photos, row upon row of reference material and a very nice place for sitting down to read or work with selected books. In between the two buildings is an atrium displaying various art. I would almost move to Norfolk just for this library.

Really nice building, great service. We decided to hold our wedding ceremony here and booked a really nice room on the third floor with a balcony. The staff has been of great help and their prices are absolutely fair. A gem in Norfolk!

This is such a beautiful library to visit.
I went in today to sign up for a library card, and the staff was beyond welcoming and so helpful. The process took roughly 10 minutes to receive my card, and any questions I had regarding checking out ...
and returning books were answered thoroughly. Absolutely amazing staff.

Coolest library ever! I have utilized the maker studio many times. A great resource for library cardholders. Beautiful rooftop deck in the summer. Computer lab with Macs and PCs. Lovely children's section for the littles!

I was visiting this library and couldn’t believe how beautiful this place is! The architecture is amazing mixed with the old and new.
Unfortunately the old exhibits are closed on Mondays.
You must go to the third floor where you will see some...
art exhibits but note the stunning architecture.
They have a colorful container of seeds that you can grow in your garden. They even tell you when it’s an ideal time to plant.
A worthwhile visit to this amazing library.
