This library is part of the shantytown environment as soon as you walk in you feel it's cold environment no warmth from the staff just coldness to the point of ghostly darkness. Actually walking in the library felt like walking into a prison with way too many guards all over the place they were tripping on each other and cameras everywhere with signs all over warning you " you are being watched" not very welcoming to visitors or tourists. The worst part being a creative person I inquired about the maker space which I associate with people who make things like baking, painting, sewing you know like making crafts but no I was told the space is for programming. I'm not sure how programming relates to maker space??? The maker space was just as cold and empty as the rest of this prison. It's a shame that this is going to waste no inspiration, no creative activities going on just empty spaces and cameras and everyone being constantly watched looks like the only thing they are creating here is the death of community and fear which explains the dark atmosphere felt throughout this library and the whole of downtown .
