It's a Library, you know filled with those things made with paper (books) some computers, areas to read. Cool inside. Teen areas, Kids areas. You can even check out things like fishing poles (or could in past) games, music.

Noticed the youth employees and librarians are racist. I heard this from multiple accounts before.I’ve been coming to the library since i was a youth myself and still same librarians are there so i know nothing changed . Especially Jen Abler and Tom. I’ve been a passerby when Jen made a comment and found that Tom did not correct her. I think people who are working closely with youth of different cultures and backgrounds should go through a cultural sensitivity seminar or education course.
