Reviews
"When I was little, the staff here were amazing and it was so neatly divided. Sadly, they closed years ago and are taking a very long time to renovate it but I have a good feeling it is going to be worth it's while. It would've been nice to see them make it a two story but they weren't building from scratch. I also tried to call them when I saw the hours on google change and the BPL said it's open yet when I walked in, everything was still under renovation and I had to leave."

"Great library. Sometimes noisy but you have to know the time and day to go."
"Pros: I like there. There's clean. The equipment is working. Staff always help to new visitors to understand how it's working. Cons: sometimes visitors fart all over the library, some of them eat at the computer, sometimes listen to loud music. Some library staff are always unfriendly when you greet them or say goodbye."
