Reviews
"Beautiful Library with outdoor sitting area and amazing staff. The only complaint I have is I wish there were more areas to sit and work solo."
"Mr. Charles was so helpful! I was having difficulty navigating some resources and he was such a tremendous support helping me locate them. So knowledgeable and kind!"
"I wanted to stop by and thank a librarian by the name of Charles Thomas Jr who went out his way in helping me find a book I was looking for. He was very professional and knew exactly the direction to point me in. Society can definitely use more people like Mr Thomas."
"Great space with lots of lighting and the outdoor garden is a great place to catch lunch in. As a remote worker, it’s quiet, spacious, and has great amenities for patrons of all ages. :)"
