Reviews
"Yes, I'm one of those who still like to read physical books .. and this is a great place to borrow books... Wonderful staff... Good selection of a variety of books... Small so manageable yet big enough so that there are so many books to explore..."
"A wonderful neighborhood library with helpful staff and solid collection of books and resources. We were sad to see that the book club has not reemerged yet, but hopefully that will change post pandemic. I have had consistently good success in getting all my hold requests fulfilled. Bravo!"
"I love this library. The librarians are very friendly and helpful always. And it is a clean and pleasant place to find good books and rest awhile."
"Clean & open later than most libraries. The children's floor offers an inviting environment. The library as a whole has a lot of programs & connections to others as well, truly a community spot."
"Not the best branch in the city. I prefer the nearby St. Agnes or Columbus branches to this one. The reading selection is sparse, and there are about one dozen public PCs. If you're bringing your own device, know that electric outlets are scarce. Mostly old people and hobos reading newspapers. There's one particular homeless gentleman in a purple vest who reeks of excrement and comes and goes as he pleases every day. If you can avoid him, you're golden. This place is best for quiet reading, and that's about it. Great for parents with children and the elderly, not so much for students."
