This place is amazing and not because my son works there. The library is clean, well organized and has nice events for the community. The staff is genuinely friendly and warm, real peoples people. All you need to do is check it out for yourself. One of the best things that they do is the Christmas displays in their magnificent garden.

There aren't enough good things I could say about this library. My family and I love it so much. Such great programs for children, my savior since I was not able to get my daughter into a summer camp program this year. The facility itself its so amazing, we spend hours on end at this library. Their outdoor space provides so much entertainment. My daughter just completed their summer reading program and she was so excited about reading and getting a little prize for reading.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

It's at 6:00pm, and the awards are supposed to pay tribute to individuals for their dedication to their communities. “I wanted to honor a diverse group of individuals, who never seek recognition, but give so selflessly to others in our communities.
