I love the library. I've been going to this branch since I was a little girl. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

A beautiful old building. If you appreciate architecture of the past, this library is an amazing relic. The marble staircases are worn down by the decades of use. The upper level is trimmed with an ornate wrought iron railing that looks over the first floor. So beautiful!

Information online says it closes at 7PM. On the phone the hours say closes at 5PM. Also, EVERYTHING has to be by appointment only. There is plenty of room in the building to accommodate some walk ins for quick visits and still maintain social distancing and a reduced capacity. Keeping it in lockdown just means even fewer people are able to use it.
