"I called to make an appointment for a registered passport agent and was told multiple times that’s what my appointment was for. I got multiple texts and phone calls confirming. I left work early to make the appointment as we have international travel in two weeks and need this passport ASAP. When I arrived for my appointment nobody acted like they knew what I was even talking about and then told me they only do tax services?? Wasted my precious time I need to be able to make my trip."

"This library is either a one-star or five-star library depending on what you are looking for. If you want a pretty library, in a picturesque setting, where you can do some causal reading, and if a fair amount of background noise doesn't bother you- this library is perfect for you. However, if you are looking for a quiet place to study, read, or get some work done- this is not the library for you. This is especially true if you cannot get one of the two available quiet study rooms, which are available on a first-come, first-serve basis in two-hour time slots or by reservation for $10/hour (though I do not recommend the latter option since they are usually not occupied). The ladies at the front desk, though extremely nice and friendly, never stop talking and one of the days I was there, the library turned into a day care center for a bunch of screaming young children. I was here to study for law school exams, and I only studied here because it was the most convenient option. If you have a more quiet option and prefer silence, I highly recommend taking it. There is a nice side patio that has nice tables and is usually quiet, but it doesn't have outlets, so if you plan on using a laptop out there, make sure it is charged. There also is a nice bookstore that people seem to like, though I have no personal experience using it. Coffee is also available at the front desk for $1 a cup, but make sure you have cash if you plan on purchasing. In sum, it wouldn't be fair to give this library a high or low rating, as your opinion of it will depend on what you want from a library. If the people running the library read this, I highly recommend getting rid of the day care activities (I don't expect kids to be quiet all of the time, but it doesn't make much sense to run a day care center out of a library either, as libraries are generally places where people go to quietly read). I would also try to keep employee conversation at the front desk at a minimum (this is a small facility and any normal volume conversation can be heard throughout the library)."
