"We love this library. Some of the staff are very pleasant. Love the activities they do with the kids and they have tutoring as well for the kids. Delores is awesome with the kids when tutoring. Johnson, Ken, and Chris are amazing with the kids too. The library is super clean and neat."

"This place is very clean and well maintained. However All the librarians in the first floor are very chatty and take away the whole point of a “library”."

"The space is amazing. Also the staff is beyond rude. It really feels like the moment you walk in they start roaming around you telling you that it’s closing. Which brings me to the question? Who is this library for? The hours are very accommodating to stay at home parents but not to working parents."

"They don't have a great selection of books. Still a small library. But they offer plenty of help. Backyard is beautiful.. it's new and up to date. It's a good library."

"I stopped by this library in order for my son to be part of their story time and unfortunately the volunteer that does it didn't come in that day. One of the staff member at this library made our experience so memorable. He opened the play area so my son could play with all the cool toys that they have available. My son had a blast!!! Thank you to that worker for your kindness. We will definitely be visiting this library again!!"
