    This is one beautiful library with a fantastic study room area both upstairs and downstairs...a great 3D room. Teen section and smaller children's sections are great. They also have great cubby holes to study in!! and outside on their courtyard, a theater attached as well as a wonderful coffee shop...if you want a grilled cheese sandwich...this is the place to go...Chapters Cafe does customized grilled cheese and grilled cheese and ham. They also have an amazing art studio opposite their theater..in the courtyard!! Great stuff!!!

    There is a great assortment of new books. A lively kids section. There was a fair out front on Saturday. They have a cute book store with good reads for $1 each. I recommend this library.
