This building is beautiful from the inside. There is a great selection of books, computer access, and open outlets to charge your electronic devices. Plenty, of parking as well as a clean facility. Most importantly, friendly, polite, and considerate staff. A great place to catch up on work or recreational activities such as reading.

Absolutely wonderful library. I highly recommend it. Pros: - Lots of natural light. - Quiet. - Large selection of books. - Great WiFi for getting work/homework done. - Free parking. - Plenty of seating inside, even when the parking lot is full. Cons: - Parking fills up rather fast (pre-pandemic; might be better now).

What a great library, very large, amazing book selection as well as movies and CDs, etc. So many places to sit and work in quiet and comfort. Also had some nice private study rooms which can be reserved for group work. Nice community building.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
