“Great selection of books and other materials, and attentive and knowledgeable staff. And, since COVID, I appreciate the adjustments and care given to keep everyone safe while continuing to provide services.”

Elizabeth N.

“You couldn't find a more welcoming, friendly and helpful staff. They go above and beyond to help and provide a great environment to work, learn, study, or enjoy, even in the midst of the pandemic.”

Marriah E.

Elizabeth B.

“I'm a life-long Enoch Pratt Library cardholder and user. I can't imagine life without it.”
