Very busy place , and if you need to use a computer, you're in for a "treat". Linda, is a teacher wanna be, and is very rude, borderline obnoxious. She actually threw my keys at me simply because I had politely asked her why I couldn't log in as a patron. Then she came over to my computer and started harassing me with a silver pointer that she kept pointing to the computer. I didn't have any issues logging on, so not sure why I'm the world this woman was up my behind the whole time there. Very bizarre experience. P.S. there's no free parking there, letter parking only.

Michael Tierney, Mobile Branch Manager, is a disgusting awful rudest person I ever had to deal with. Called for a few questions about a few books and about how to use the app, he did not whatsoever wanted to help out. I wasn't even able to ask all the questions because he went off on the first question. A BRANCH MANAGER who starts to yell out over the phone with a nasty tone, shouldn't even be a manager to begin with. He even stated, "Go tell my boss then, idgaf". Rachel Guest, you should do better in hiring someone who has patience. Never returned and never returning. I've seen his nasty attitude from when I was young and it hasn't gotten any better.
