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.

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.

els both inspiring and welcoming. There’s a wide selection of books, media, and resources, plus a thoughtfully designed children’s area with plenty of engaging activities. The staff are helpful and friendly. Overall, a beautiful and well-rounded library experience…I’ll definitely keep coming back!

The Slover Library was such a wonderful place to visit! We had heard great things about the kids’ play area, and it definitely lived up to the hype. There were so many activities and play options to keep the kids entertained.
My son especially...
loved the Lincoln Logs, while my girls had a great time in the kitchen area and playing with the baby dolls. It was so nice to see them all engaged and having fun.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we will definitely be back!
