Perfect place to borrow books. They also have books you can read online if you have a library card. They also have computers you can use while you are there. They also have movies and music you can borrow. They also have different events. People that work here are very friendly and helpful.

The librarians are very nice. The library itself looks amazing and also very clean.

Very good staff. Kids really enjoy the programs. Reading program is great.

Awesome setting and free wifi makes for a nice relaxing time..

Amazing place and I personally volunteer her and I would recommend it to people that dont read since that also have a study room too!!

Always friendly helpful staff ready to help!

Im speaking specifically for the childrens books and programming: awesome!!! Good selection of childrens books. But the best is the people. We loved story time here with Mr. Matt, Ms. Krystal, and Ms. Jenn. Even during Covid lockdown, they didnt miss a beat. They kept virtual storytime going and held in-person programming when they could. Love them!

Always very helpful when trying to find a book or for activities for the whole family.

Needs to change hours on websites to reflect being closed for 3 hours during the day. Dont know how many people I saw try the door while I sat writing this. Closed 12-3pm. Its only posted on the door, not on google or the Onslow website.

The staff is always so kind and helpful!! We love visiting!

Staff is very nice and knowledgeable!

Biased because I work here, OCPL tons of benefits! Literally thousands electronic resources, public computers, dozens of programs for infants all the way to adults free to attend! As well as 4 locations through the county!

Not a good experience. Only 4 computers were running. Waited ten minutes for lady to help me because my card number was not being accepted only to be told to go to the front desk. Lady at front was very helpful.

Very helpful. Clean environment. I feel safe there.

Great very clean and alot of space

Nice place. Has everything you need.

I love this place. Know the people, always helpful when I need it. Thank you Onslow County Public Library on Doris ave.

Very nice and helpful staff!

We LOVE the library! The main OCPL branch has a wonderful staff that take care of their patrons! The programs for kids are entertaining and well put together by their youth services staff.

Very nice place with friendly staff.

I have used the main branch many times, and find the staff to be friendly and helpful. However, I listen to audio books when I drive, and have requested a certain author verbally as well as in writing, several times over the past 4 years, and the person in charge of acquiring books (Either through ordering, or from other branches) has never ordered this series. The author is a best selling author, so people other than myself would check them out. But this individual refuses to add them to the collection.Also, even though the website says the location (Doris Dr) is open, I went there yesterday, early afternoon, and it was closed, and had a sign on the door saying closed until further notice.

They always seem to have exactly what I want.

Staff is helpful & friendly!

They are very helpful

Very helpful and attentive with the forms I need. Super friendly! Thanks

Good Place Love it 😊💓💓😊😘😌

This is the library that my Mom took me and my siblings to when we were children. I have good memories here, but some staff are not professional or friendly. I was just there today to print off a document and 2 women behind the front desk were laughing and talking loudly. I thought libraries were supposed to be quiet? Im so glad that I dont come here anymore to use the wifi or computers because of the unprofessionalism shown by some staff. Ive also complained about guests being too noisy in the past, and they havent done much about it.

VERY nice and friendly staff lots of new and old books and DVD

So quiet and just my element

Wonderful little library! Perfect place to read or study

The staff is very helpful. I like how its a library when there are kids that come in and are kind of loud, Ive never seen the staff hush them like most librarians. They make everyone feel welcomed.

Laptime Storytime on Thursday mornings is wonderful! Ms. Jen who leads it is so interactive and super sweet. Its a free program so all you have to do is show up. A great way to get out of the house and get some socializing time in for you and your little one.

I usually go to Richlands library because its closer to my home. I was there the other day and the girl at the counter mentioned shes usually working at this location and I said Id check it out. I love that the hours are longer as we usually like to go in the evenings after the kids get home from school. We love checking out movies and theres a huge selection. Everyone is always very friendly as well

My family loves the library! My children know just about all the childrens librarians by name and all of them have taken the time to show a personal interest in my children. They have wonderful programs for kids of all ages even the teens. They have a lot of great family events that are perfect for kids. They work hard to make the library a fun and interesting place for kids. With so many electronic options they do a great job incorporating it into the programs. My kids love the tumble books and eBooks online as well. The programs at the library are a great way to get your children interested in books!They have the lowest priced colored copies in town. I always go to the library for colored copies! They have large selection of books and if they dont have it in they can get it from one of the other branches in Onslow county. Everyone is always friendly and kind. They have clean restrooms and the overall look of the building is neat and up to date. I only wish they would build a larger library in Jacksonville. It definitely gets crowded often.

Weve been very happy with programs and books available here. Staff has been helpful and Ive taken advantage of online holds and renewals. I like the variety of programs they offer and my kids enjoy going weekly to their local library.I do wish the check out period was longer than 2 weeks. 20cent late fee per book/per day seems steep compared to other places Ive lived (and on base libraries there are no late fees). .Video selection is nice but $1 rental for only 2 days, and a $1/day late fee discourages me from wanting to rent any.

Great place to sit and read the people are great and very helpful

They have amazing children programs. The gentleman over the events (at least the main guy we see) is AMAZING.

Although it seems like the staff may be rude, theyre not. The limited staff for this branch and the turnover of clients they serve, a smile will go a long way.It may seem ridiculous to ask for proof of address, but resident doesnt count. Every address in the city has one. I know you should be proud to ensure youre bringing in the proper documents to receive a library card. Its more for your protection, remember?I want to say thank you ladies and gentlemen who work at the library. Theyve helped me in research, and laws. Not counting entertainment reading. Keep up the great work.Thank you.

The staff is very helpful I love their movie selection

Awesome!

Love this library

Note: Changed from a 1 to a 3 star because I did enjoy most of their programs for children and their families for free/fairly cheap and staff are pretty friendly & helpful any other time.Disputed charges that had never gotten back to me about. After multiple attempts to reconcile my account I was unable to renew my material without going in which caused me to accrue late charges. I made the staff aware of the damages of the book beforehand and they set it aside but I was still charged. After multiple attempts I finally had it reconciled but they still charged me late charges for not being able to renew my books on hand. I made them aware of this.. They gave me a hard time about all of this. They have ALOT of damaged books so please be aware, check them and make sure they make the notes onto the account before you leave the library.

This is a great resource for families with young children. The childrens programs are fun and interactive. We love to visit on a weekly basis.

Absolutely peaceful

Outstanding people always there to help.

This is a really good library which offers alot of great programs for children. Many of the programs are free. The library is clean, organized, and I like going there.

What a cool place to read a book.

I didnt like this library at all, the staff wasnt friendly or helpful at all, they had very bad attutides and a bad vibe, i guest if was that i came in to the library with my white boyfriend.... Thats to show u that racisitism is still alive and is still here in 2018.... Grow up and get over it, i was so uncomfortable with all the nasty stares like i had did something wrong, I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THIS LIBRARY AGAIN.

I try to do work at home but often get distracted.. the library offers me a great quite place to get focused, find information, and stay online.

Very FRIENDLY and HELPFUL staff

A wonderful learning environment for the whole family.This library has many new titles (books) but needs additional copies of newer dvds...too long of a waiting list with only 1 copy.I would love to help out, volunteer in any capacity....story time, short skits, cultural awareness..maybe some intercultural programs could be ongoing with the appropriate holidays and celebrations.Overall, a fine, well structured library with many dedicated workers and great updated materials.Could you possibly aquire some new music CDs, for us dinosaurs who still play CDs???

How much is it to print stuff

Nice library system, good selection of new books and many branches.

Overall Onslow county library system is highly recommended and interesting to enjoy. Have a book or movie checked out.

They make the most with what little they have. Great for familys and young kids.

Wish the proctors were free, but good library nonetheless :-) Ive had nothing but great customer service!

Nice little library, best place to rent a dvd.

Started new printing machine...it is slow and ineffective. Employees are rude and seem irritated to answer questions. There is also no way to copy or scan items anymore, this library is far behind the times

Most friendly place in town

Love this library and its staff!

Very helpful staffs.

Its open!

Fairly good services

Great friendly service
