Really nice library. The only problem is that it is quite loud and no one seems to police small shrieking children and their oblivious parents. Everything else here is awesome and the outdoor areas are very nice when the weather is warm

The library is good but it’s too loud to study. The employees need to use library voices so patrons can actually enjoy the quiet.

The staff here are incredibly rude. I took my mask off for a second to drink my coffee and this lady completely scolds me and talks down on me to put it back on. I am fully vaccinated with my booster shot as well. This is absolutely ridiculous. Not to mention I’m completely in the corner of the library with absolutely no one near me.

It's a nice library overall but the staff is so obnoxiously loud! What happened to the whole "Shhh!!"? I came here to work somewhere quiet, like most libraries are. The staff does not use indoor voices, you can hear them gossiping, laughing, and just being loud! If you're going to be loud go outside! They don't even care if the guests are being loud either. I had to pack up and leave because I just could not find a quiet space to focus. Staff needs to be more quiet, please!!

You may call the library to check or use the online catalog - even if you don't have a card. Or drop by. Smoke signals don't work.

According to the online catalog, the library dues own The Art of Public Speaking by JOHN HALE. You may want to check with the library about the possibility of borrowing the correct book through interlibrary loan.
