Reviews
"Great spot. I love the scanning machine. And that is pretty much all I used it for. The book selection is okie. I got a few book online and going to library does help. This is one of the quieter libraries and study or working here can help you focus."
"GREAT for kids! The adult section is nothing special, however, despite the seemingly low selection, you can put pretty much anything on hold from the website. Having fun isn't hard when you have a library card! (If you know you know :)"
"So we are sitting outside in front on the library for story time. So if a toddler is hit by a car who is responsible? I hear traffic children screaming across the road. This use to be inside in the open library years ago."
"My son is six months old, and I’m taking him here during the week & weekend to socialize with other kids. Overall it’s nice and clean library. Kids playing area and ground clean excepts parents are walking with their shoes on the baby carpet. I am not sure if they allow other people to use bathroom because generally bathroom smells heavy. Stuff is very helpful and polite. You can follow their monthly events for your kids."
"A GREAT Library. Very clean and organized. Restrooms are spotless and well maintained throughout the day. The staff are VERY FRIENDLY and super accommodating. Very quick to help you find what you are looking for. Basically nice and quiet. Of course there are infants and toddlers that may be a little loud, but they're babies! GREAT CHILDREN'S PROGRAMS! Fantastic programs for everyone. If the older kids are too noisy, the staff politely tells them. If there's an adult with a cellphone that you can hear both sides of their conversation across the room, a staff member quickly goes over and tells them, politely of course but firm. LOVE THAT... It's very distracting. I really love this place. Thank you staff members! You really make the Library the great place that it is."
