Reviews
"Pretty nice library (clean and cozy). Staff is very friendly. The only one thing I found is that it is not too quiet there."
"Small, cozy library with only 1 floor. Staff is friendly and helpful; I go there to work and it's great. The downside is that some people that attend the adult side of the library have a bad odor. Unsure if they are homeless, but their appearance and body odor sure appear as homeless. It's a little unnerving because I can't concentrate on my work because I'm unsure what their next action will be. I leave a little earlier than I'd like to because of the bad odor and uneasiness."
"Recommended. New, compact library with ample seating, many PCs and an excellent children’s section. Great option post Asphalt Green."
