Reviews of Ely Public Library

Gene McCracken

Friendly helpful staff; wonderful programming. A town the size of Ely is blessed to have a public library of this caliber! Kudos to the Board and taxpayers - you're spending your money well at EPL

Never be afraid to ask a libratian for help, advice, or just "How are you doing?". Rachel and the other staff at the Ely Library are 'Top Shelf' with their friendlyness and readiness to help! My 6 year old and I asked Rachel for a recommendation as she was having trouble finding something to get excited about reading. We got directed to the Thunder and Cluck series and my little girl LOVED IT!! Thank you!!

The Ely Public Library is a wonderful resource for Ely! The librarians are very friendly and responsive to the individual needs of the patrons. There is outreach from children to seniors. When people expressed a wish for wellness programs, we got yoga, Tai chi and meditation programs throughout the year. We are fortunate to have a seed sharing program which has received national attention from other individuals interested in setting up such an opportunity for their community. In addition, the library sponsors programs throughout the year for our community. I can’t say too much about our library! We are fortunate to have such bright educated librarians working for us!
