    Fun large place

    There's always something to get here. I like how the dvd's now are free to rent instead of being a dollar. The remodel has made it more modern and fresh looking. There's plenty of books to get and look at. I appreciate that they're connected...More

    A favorite for 65 years!

    The library is stately and well-maintained. It has huge rooms accommodating a large variety of interests. The children's library is dear....you must see it.

    Great library - wonderful used book store!

    Just visiting town and went in with friends. A great used book store, and a big list of events. Wished I lived in Salem to take advantage of all of the opportunities!
