Small library, fits in well with the local community. Has mostly low-lying stacks with the occasionally tall case. Has an appalling lack of philosophy, poetry, theology and eastern literature. Has a wonderful children's section and a friendly, helpful library. Is a somewhat cramped space with a misuse of the lower level and a very pretty mural in the lobby. Other then children's librarian and occasional friendly desk person, staff seems kind of grouchy and doesn't seem to really want me there, and seems relieved when I leave, often without a book.Checkout desk is a tight bottleneck, but is efficient all the same. Wonderful, wonderful community center, with a very diverse patronage and authorship. Hosts community events and is very receptive of local schools. Wonderful place but is lacking several vital areas to be satisfactory.
A nice cozy environment with well mannered and friendly staff. They usually have many clubs and such available for children. An area for kids as well as computers and a wide arrange of books of course.
Love this library very nice staff and there children section is great you can even get them their own library card
We, my son and daughter, 7 and 9 years old, went to visit this chess club during June 2017. Very hostile and unprofessional lead organizers and branch manager, Bruce Siebers. We enter and wanted to play some friendly chess games against other young chess players. Organizers demanded us to leave and when I begin to ask questions the organizers and Bruce Siebers threaten to call the police on us. So this was their response to young Black boys and girls wanted to play chess, call the police! Should they be allowed to use public space if they want a private venue?
Quiet, clean, and always lots of seating. Also, GREAT wifi. I love it here. I get so much work done.
