Reviews
A wonderful library full of kind and helpful staff! There is a large underground parking beneath the building, with elevator & stair access to the library above. There is also public street parking around the building. The building is accessible for wheelchairs & walkers. The library has several self check-outs, as well as the welcome/check-out desks. There is a large information reception area in the back, near the children and teens section. The children's area is really nice with a big tree, various play areas, light tables, building blocks, toddler computers, puppet theatre, and a grocery stand. The shelves are lower, and there are also some bins with books easily accessible for little ones. They have great interactive kits with books & accessories that go with the stories in them you can check them out, or use them on-site. They have express grab-bags with pre selected books for toddlers based on their ages - which are awesome for exploring something new with your little one at home. They have a copy room and some study pods. There is a cafe on the main floor for coffee & snacks. The second floor has large meeting rooms and couches. They have community boards with information and various activities they plan in the library throughout the month. You can place holds on books online and they will notify you when they are ready for pick up. The building has a drop off/return locations outside along the main street, in the underground parking, and right inside the library.
A wonderful venue with lots of places to sit quietly and write. They have a great Writer in Residence who you can make an appointment if you want help with your stories.nYou can have a tea and read or grab a light lunch. Across the aisle there is a full restaurant for a relaxing evening after all your hard writing.
This is a lovely library! The underground parking is a much appreciated feature. There are plenty of study spots and desks with lots of natural light. Great selection of books, private rooms, great wifi, other media rentals.nnThe only downside is that food is allowed all over the library there's a cafe in the lower level so the desks and shelves/books are often sticky and have bits of food and garbage on/in and around them. There are cleaning staff but they would be hard pressed to keep up to the amout of traffic sitting around eating while they study. It also is not pleasant to be trying to study and have someone sit beside you crunching a bag of chips/slurping soup/crumpling and rummaging in their food containers and bags.nObviously people need to eat but it would be much cleaner, more sanitary and more peaceful if the food could stay downstairs in the cafe seating area.
A great public library. Tons of books, magazines, computers to rent time on, separate areas for kids and teens, and a good cafe on the ground level.
Fabulous place to take your kids and borrow books from. Staff will help you find what you want with a friendly smile. Ample parking available underground and two hour free parking available.
