This is a noisy libary. And it is the staff that are talking so loudly!! This is too small a place for loud voices.

If your not white, you will be judged, watched very closely. You will be harrassed if you have a service animal also. Law suit waiting to happen. I had a horrible experience this AM with a pale face skeleton which insisted to know my disability and how my service animal functions. He judged me from the start. I am certain if I was a pale face I would not have been harrassed and embarrased in public. No one has the right to ask you if your disabled and how your service animal functions for you. That tall skeleton ruined my morning enough that I am calling attorneys and reporting this incident. I did decide to video the man as he harrased me and invaded my personal space and tried to intimidate me. I will not be going back to this location even though I live very close. I am traumatized by that horrible indifferent skeleton/scarecrow.

I have lived in the area my entire life so been here countless times. Not once have I seen a single homeless person hanging around, inside or out. So not sure what the other reviewer is talking about, very strange. Anyway, small little library, relatively quiet depending on the day and time you come. It is very close to many schools, so of course there are going to be kids in there and that's part of what it's there for! It may not be the most modern or technologically advanced one around, but it definitely serves the purpose and is appreciated and regularly visited by all kinds of people from the community.

It's a small branch library. There are a lot of hosted activities here, making it a wonderful source of enrichment activities for younger kids. If you can't find what you want on site, have it transferred. The staff are friendly, helpful and approachable. The community room usually has some great local art on display and the Friends of the Library sales are wonderful.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
