PS. Don't be surprised when people have FULL ON CELLPHONE conversation here! Ridiculous!

Agree with those who say this library is TOO NOISY. What happened to the days of whispering in a quiet space--& being respectful of others??

It's a smaller library. Half of the library is for children the other half for adults. Limited in books and study rooms (only 2). They have a good average number of computers. BUT THE DOWNFALL, NOISY NOISY NOISY! If you are looking at a quiet place to study this is NOT the place. No noise control at all. It's like a Starbucks in here. And it's suppose to be a "library."

They have remodel this place since the last time I was in. Everyone that works there is really kind. The Wi-Fi is free. They have a 3D printer and also hold seasonal events. The kids section is now way better divided from the adult section than it used to be. There's also quiet kid room so you can take your kid that likes to scream in there. They have a large number of books that you can check out and a huge selection of DVDs and movies. There's also a woman there by the name of Leann that you absolutely have to ask for her because she is by far the kindest woman I've ever met in my life.

Someone should control the noise: it's not even what a library is supposed to be anymore.

This has been our family library since our kids were small. There is a great children's library with lots of books organized by reading level, small tables and chairs, and a story room that's set aside. Plenty of grown up books and videos too. Excellent staff will help you find anything and have it transferred if it is at a different branch.

I've only been once so far and the library itself is nice. I was with my toddler, so we stayed in the kids section and I didn't get to see much more of the library. Since I'm new to the area, I did not have a library card yet. When we went to check-out I was told the computers were down so they couldn't help me today and to come back another time. It's absurd to me that they couldn't make a photo copy of my ID and write down any other pertinent information to enter into the system when it was back up and running again. It seems that either the convenience of the employee takes priority over serving the people, or there is an inability to adjust processes to changing circumstances. This was my daughter's first time ever going to a library and she was very excited to take some books home that she had picked out. We both left extremely disappointed.
