Amazing library and a piece of history. Worth your time.

So many neat things about this library. Great kids section, too. Wish I would have done the free audio tour.

Beautiful library with self-guided tours. There’s a suggested donation of $5 per person and they take credit card and cash. You have to check in by going to the office on the left hand side to get a sticker before you can walk around the library. There were plenty of members also studying/reading while we walked around and since it’s so quiet, be mindful of your squeaky shoes. There’s a mezzanine area as well as a downstairs part which houses the old artwork and some very comfy chairs. If you’re just doing the self-guided tour, you could spend half an hour to an hour, depending on how in-depth you’d like to go.

Hi there - the library is currently open to members only. We plan to reopen fully to the public and non-members (with some new tours and offerings) in August. I hope you can visit us then!
It's open to the public whenever the library is open, barring special events or programs in the space!
