Getting to the parking lot is a bit confusing the first time. Navigation will have you go past the green sign which says "LIBRARY" with an arrow underneath at the intersection of Starrock Alley and S State St. This turn is the best way to enter the parking lot. The drive off of S State St (Library Rd) is mainly used as an exit so it will feel like you are going the wrong way. There are spaces underneath an outcropping and much closer to the door - this is where the handicapped parking is located. The turns are a bit tight, so if you have a compact it will do fine. SUVs will do better in the public parking lot.

Amazing library to take the kids. They have so many fun activities for the kids and have definitely helped me to grow a love of reading in my children.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

How can I check to see what I have reserve?

marc smith | Sep 27, 2018
SU | Sep 27, 2019

from the library website: You may also log into your online account at any time to check on the status of your reserve. It will appear with a status of "Ready". If an item's status is listed as "Available" or "1 of 1 holds", that means that the item has not yet been placed at the pickup location of your choosing, as it has not yet been located on the shelf.
