We did the park next to the library. It was solar car chargers with plenty of parking, really new equipment and people were nice. Its just popular.

The best library in all of the KC metro in my opinion. Everything is brand spanking new, clean, and comfortable. Theres a gas fireplace where you can hangout with a book and lots of XL tables for spreading out your work. Highly recommended as a place to study.

Nice non-library. More like a community center with books. If youre looking for a quiet place to study or read, dont go here. Its not a bad place. If you have kids they can run and play. Theres a Cafe so foods allowed. Power outage at home so I needed somewhere to do some work. This was a bad choice for attempting to concentrate.

I love the staff and they help without being a nuisance.

We love this place! Especially Makerspace! Staff was very friendly and even helped us set up our files on the wood cutter. Library itself has a great selection of books and games. The park is very well maintained and clean, there are security cameras everywhere and it feels like a safe place to be.

This library is fantastic! The staff are always friendly and helpful. The library is very clean. They have tons of stuff beyond books. There are DVDs, video games, audiobooks, the Makers Room has to s of stuff as well. Even a 3-D printer. Theres a game room for kids. Meeting spaces that can be rented out. Smaller rooms for group studying. Interactive activities for kids. Libraries are always fun and this one has more than most.

Im there almost every day they are so kind love that place they have a gaming room gaming computers its epic would 100% recommend going there

Great library. Went for a blood drive and they took great care of me.

The most innovative library in the country. Amazing place. More like a hangout area for the entire family. Plus, they still have books.

Best library around! Great kids area and resources. Easy curbside pickup. Beautiful outdoor area and playground. Our family LOVES the library.

Unwelcoming library to bring kids. Edit: Called and discussed issues with Director of Child Services. I encourage others to call if they have a poor experience. Amending to 3 stars.

Great place. One of the best temperature controlled places in town. Beautiful waterfall.

Monica was an absolute delight in assisting me in getting a library card & finding a book!🌟

I had the BEST experience with this location- the lady at the front desk was extremely helpful! She treated me with the upmost respect and I enjoy going to the library because of the atmosphere ❤️ I will most definitely be coming in weekly. Thank you for your service 🙏

Beautiful area to hang around read and meet good peopleNice place for kids and parents to hang around read and play...

So beautiful! The librarians are very friendly and helpful.

Went to the library today to print out something. They have a new print program that none of the employees seem to know how to use. It was extremely frustrating that something that takes 5 minutes took over a half hour and still didnt get it printed properly. The employee got very frustrated and started yelling at me. I will never use that library again and the employee who yelled at me should be terminated. FYI:if you infiltrate a new system, you may want to teach your employees how to use it.

It’s beautiful. Don’t get me wrong. The cafe is nice and I do like the fireplace. But it is so loud! It isn’t really a library as much as a community center with books. I do appreciate that I can put books on hold and pick them up close to home. But if I want a quiet place to study or escape on a book, I’ll be utilizing a different location. Again, it’s beautiful. Just not really a library.

Where to start? The staff is outstanding; always willing to help and make suggestions. In the time of covid my wife and I have utilized curbside pickup and have been happy with the speed and efficiency of this service.Im looking forward to the Indian Creek cafe reopening...even if the treats arent supposed to be part of my diet. Theres something comforting about a cappuccino and the tactile feel of an actual book that an e-reader and Keurig just cant deliver.The interlibrary loan program allows an easy way to access items the Olathe library and Joco library dont carry.The Olathe library is a great community resource that I wish more people actively utilized.

I needed help finding a firm and the person at the desk help find it and also print it

Loved the parking lot live concert. Stayed in car but such lovely weather the chair seats would have been nice. Thanks to the band and all the library staff and any volunteers for making a much needed night out happen. Beep Beep (how we applauded tonight)!

New high-tech public library that is newly remodeled. The place features multiple community rooms, 8 study rooms and even a cafe. Great kids area and teen rooms, maker space, recording studio and toddlers area. There are also outdoor gardens and play areas as part of the design.

I was just their for a minute, but inside was so beautiful...seems like a nice place to relax and read

The folks are polite and the library is clean and crisply laid out.

Everything goes great when I dont have to visit the customer service desk. Service at the customer service desk is anything but friendly. One rep in particular is rude and argumentative. Im highly disappointed that this is my local library. I now prefer driving to Overland Park anytime I need to go inside a library.

Fantastic new library. Great inside as well as outside and features are still being added.

Beautiful new library. well organized. friendly staff.

Beautiful and pleasant atmosphere. We dealt with a friendly employee, but the other staff never looked at anyone or seemed to smile.

Very modern and open. Many amenities. Outside area, bubble wall, fireplace, cafe.

This is such a great library, I’m thrilled to be a member here. They offer quiet conference rooms and silent reading rooms, but they also have a room for children to play video games and a complete maker space with classes! Also, you can place holds online and or checkout items from other Johnson County libraries of this location doesn’t have what you need.

I haven’t actually been in the building, but it looks very nice and new from the outside, and they have a nice material pick up service. Nice new playground next too it too.

Very good modern library. Has playground, teenage area with video gaming room, fireplace, 3d printers, etc. Very nice and helpful staff.

I had a few items reserved and ready for pick-up. It was a quick and easy process to pick up and quickly check out.

Very helpful staff. Fun kids corner and great atmosphere for reading, studying or workshops.

They have a wide variety of books, games, movies, and TV shows. The staff is very friendly. Theres a teen zone for young adults to hang out at and a Makers Space for all your creative needs. Unfortunately, not all resources from the library are available due to covid, but that doesnt demean the value of this library.

Clean and great customer service

Very nice library. Such an inspirational place to be! The staff are wonderful. The African American lady that cleans has such a beautiful attitude, its always nice to see her. The ladies are the checkout are amazing!! They are always so professional and kind. The coffee is so overpriced though. Overall this library is excellent!

Ladies were very helpful, polite and attentive to needs.

Very impressive maker space!

The Maker Space staff was very helpful and I felt safe with their COVID protocols.

Great library that’s gradually opening back up it’s pre-Covid services.

Best place in Olathe. Well maintained and good ambience.

Such a beautiful place!!

So nice.

Absolutely wonderful..everyone very courteous and helpful in making the voting experience pleasurable.

Love our library system. Very clean, well stocked, safe for all.

Beautiful location, amazing amenities very clean and friendly staff, love the 3D printing room

Wonderful new location in a heavily renovated grocery store. Coffee, sandwich and sweets available. Bright and open. Many private and meeting spaces. Performance space. Large parking area. Book drop.

Love this library and so does my son 💙

Awesome place with cool architecture! Lots of book, media selection and tools to use such as computers and 3d printers.

Love the library and love the staff. Cant wait until they are able to completely reopen!

Lovely new high tech library! I LOVE the quiet reading room. Johnson County Libraries need to take note of this and in future renovations add this to their libraries. The little cafe and makers room are awesome additions in the library. For a new modern library this offers some “softer and warmer” features in its design, such as focused lighting on bookshelves rather than harsh overhead fluorescent lighting on the ceiling. The seating/chairs are covered in fabric rather than the plastic/pleather materials offered at JOCO Libraries. The fireplace wall is warm and inviting and a nice architectural feature. They even offer an outdoor courtyard, though it’s much too cold to be out there on this visit.Overall I am greatly impressed with this library. I suppose the only drawback is that it seems to be geared more towards children. There are certainly “adult” features like the quiet room, but sadly so many libraries today lose sight of the fact that many adults need and want to use libraries. I wish the reference section was a bit bigger and that they offered a specific genealogy section.

This is a very modern library !! Well organized... Is has auditorium, study rooms, quite reading room, workstations... Great place to spend some time reading and/or getting things done!!

Love this location.

This place was great

This is one of the most amazing stories in Olathe and ranks as the premier new local library in the Greater Kansas City area. It is a meeting place. It has beautiful landscaping and architecture that provide a relaxing venue and a state of the art “maker place”.The Park Street Pastry second location in the library entry area is its best kept secret with the best pastry in Kansas City. The owner is a former pastry professor at the Johnson County Community College.This library reflects the on-line evolution of libraries with even a viewing window to observe the electronic sorting of your books as you return them.They just opened mid October ON TIME so they are waiting to see what the actual usage will be, but expect creativity in programming and look for increased community learning opportunities and meetings here.One complaint:In a library culture I don’t know how they could do it, but this is one library that should have a 6:00am opening time for adults who have real jobs and seniors to take full advantage of the coffee and pastry shop for meetings. Library usage would double.

The library is Always nice. Treat your self!

Great library!! Find everything you need.

This is the loudest library I have been to in the United States. Taxpayers paid for an over the top library that doesnt have the childrens area separated. The high ceilings make it a noisy place. Even in the Quiet reading room you can hear the kids screaming. Ive seen children running around stacks of books. I will continue going to Johnson County Libraries. Enough with the noise.

Beautiful building. Easy to find sections.

Wow! Beautifull Library

Touted as a wonderful new library, this place doesnt know what it wants to be, but it is certainly NOT worthy of being called a library. The space is open, airy has community spaces, a maker space, a cafe, a used bookstore, and, oh yeah, it does have a few books, too. The staff are always busy and tend to not be helpful and have, in my experience, been rude or condescending. The maker space is nice, but the reservation system is messed up and gaining access is difficult (see staff are rude and not helpful above). It seems Olathe wanted to copy Johnson County Librarys design, but they failed miserably. the JoCo central library is great and meets both library and community needs - the Olathe one is just despicable. Oh, and the parking arrangement is the worst parking lot design Ive ever seen. Overall, this is just an abysmal waste of time & money.

Good to be able to check out books again

This was the first time Ive been to this library and I will not be back! There were adults talking loudly on cellphones (I could even hear the person on the other end of the phone from 2 tables away) and screaming children whos parents made no effort to quiet them down. I came to work with a group on a project, and our group was quieter than the majority of other library patrons. When I was younger, it was understood that there was library etiquette that everyone followed. Im not sure what happened to that, but I sure didnt see observe it today! There is a library at town center 10 miles away- the drive is well worth it, to spend time with quiet and considerate people.

Beautiful library!

Modern feel with tons of natural light. Dedicated area for teens to study.

Great layout, areas for meeting spaces, great aesthetic and place to cultivate learning and create space for others to enjoy community with others. Staff are great and very helpful!

A TOTAL DISGRACE!!Incompetent leadership at the Olathe Public library. Return drop box at 151st & Murlen has been out of service for 1 year. They should have had at a temporary replacement in place until the permanent one was put in place. No one in the area can return their library items.Cant believe it takes them 360 days to put back a drop box.Incompetent and slow staff who cant get anything done, they would be fired if they had a job at a private company.Government money being wasted by these people.A TOTAL DISGRACE!!

Very nice and fancy, a large step up from the old location, I feel like Olathe tried hard with this and succeeded.

This library is awesome what a great place for our community and children to learn in!

Curbside service for hold pickup worked great!

Fiction section lacking, sweet fireplace, not as cozy as a library should be

I love this location! I probably go three or four times a month. The staff is always fun and helpful. They go above and beyond for me on a regular basis to help me find books through interlibrary loan. Someone is always available to help me get what I need and they are always great to work with.

Hard-working people working behind the scenes here, and they do a great job. I also appreciate how high-mileage the Indian Creek website is. Visiting in person, the building is a little smaller and older than Id like, but its still a good place to read the periodicals Im too cheap to buy.

Our family looks forward every week to going to the Indian Creek branch. The reference librarian in the childrens department is always extremely helpful. In addition to a top notch book selection, this branch boasts an incredible video selection. To top it off, the assortment of Wii games makes it the best kept secret in Olathe for parents of young boys.

Amazing new facility! Great on all levels!

Excellent!!

Great temporary location looking forward to the new location on Santa Fe. Good for computer services and printing save a lot of $ thank you Johnson County

The staff is helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. The small collection is excellent, with a selection of DVDs to watch, video games to play, books for adults and children, as well as more than a dozen computers for patrons to use. And, like all public libraries, its all free. Fantastic.

Awesome atmosphere, and the gaming room is fantastic.

Staff are friendly and helpful. They do a good job of helping you find the books that you are looking for.

Coolest Library in Olathe. Modern, Clean and Comfortable.

Wonderful library

Good library. No much rush. Good programs for kids.

I really enjoy the audio books that they have available and the people are friendly and very helpful

Very neat library!

Love the courtesy and assistance. Excellent selections.

My daughter has participated in several of the (registered) summer programs for the first time, & so far they have exceeded my expectations. She has tried the Geocaching, CSI, Ductigami, and Soap Making programs & loved them all. They even provided popsicle treats for the kids. Great way to keep kids occupied during the summer.

New library was excellent

Always clean, great variety, and friendly staff.

The service was good and the atmosphere friendly.

The staff was rude and didnt take to listen problems before given answers

Nice Location.

Not a 4 not a 5 a 4 1/2

Ok

WOW! What a beautiful library! Fire place, outdoor seating area, bubble wall, really cool place

Beautiful, shiny building, the event hall is huge and comfortable

He is always organized and they offer help very kindly. I love it.
