Reviews
"I actually adore this library and the librarian Eboni is very nice. There is one Librarian there who is not the nicest and acts as if we bother her for her having to do what she is there for but I honestly pay her no mind. Over all, clean, quiet, polite staff and helpful with her being the only exception."
"It’s an ok library not too messy & spacious. There’s a public bathroom but unfortunately people leave it dirty/don’t understand what “lock the door” means? Ridiculous."
"The manager, I believe his name is Marcus, is a real sweetheart. Thank you for assisting me on my Jay-Z library card hunt the other day. I really appreciate your kindness. Also, this library organizes some great events for the community. Please check them out!"
"A spacious, clean & tidy modern library that provides a quiet area to enable you to study / action homework without disruptions. Numerous desktop computers available for use & free Wi-Fi is offered. They have a wide variety of diverse books on offer, but you need to experience this for yourself. The staff are extremely helpful & kind. This library offers a lot of programs beneficial for the whole Community, from teenagers, children, adults & families as a whole. I highly recommend this library for all!"
"Staff is nice place is clean elevator works 3 floors of books plenty of computers around. Nice setting and selection of books for a smaller library."
