This library is pretty cool. Not crowded ever. It's clean, warm inside, you can use a private study room for extra quietness, and they even have a 3D printer! They have computers and printers, books, DVDs, tapes, magazines, and more. Please help keep our libraries open and running by getting a library card!

Helpful staff, quiet rooms, several desktóp computers available with networked printers. Nice used book store on site. Great little public library. Hours are somewhat limited.

This library is beautiful. I found many books that were captivating. However, for such a learned place I was surprised by the way the library manager was dressed. Her style left much to be desired. I only hope she can be replaced by a less distractingly dressed manager, as viewing her outfit was extremely frustrating. I couldn't even read my book as I couldn't help but gawk at the appalling fashion choices of this person. I was forced to leave and go to the Outback Steakhouse across the street to read, as the din of the tavern was less distracting than her lack of fashion acumen.

This is a smaller library, but very nice. It has a separate room for children. The staff is always so friendly and helpful!
