Reviews
"The library has a lot of space and it’s really comfortable. Not too loud and it’s cool they have programs for children. The only bad thing is that sometimes the staff can be rude and have attitude."
"The staff was incredibly helpful, and the collection is extensive. A fantastic resource for the community. They host events frequently and offer tutoring for younger children."
"They are very prejudiced towards black people at this Public Library. I have gone here only one time just to print out a few documents. All of the women at the front desk became very hostile once I tried to pay for the print job. They tried to steal my money by saying that I have to pay for 6 prints even though their printer only put out 4 pages. After trying to explain that to them, they became very rude, dismissive and aggressive towards me. I had to go over to the printer myself and investigate why I didn’t receive the full amount of pages. It turned out that they allowed the printer paper to go low and then run out. But instead of them just checking it themselves or even offering my money back, they told me I can just reprint the whole thing and have to pay extra. Each time I tried to explain to them how ridiculous that was, they all tried to act like they couldn’t hear me from behind the thin glass in the quiet library. I would not recommend that anyone who is self respecting visit this location. And if you think at a library a person would be safe and helped just avoid this absolute abomination of a supposed Public Library that my taxes fund."
"Pretty small selection in books but you're sure to find something you'll like. Its a cozy library but the staff isnt the friendliest. They get annoyed when you ask questions and 30 mins before the library closes they shutter the lights on and off like children. I guess thats code for "get out""
