While the library is conveniently located to me I highly doubt I will be back. This is not the place for study, uninterrupted reading or any creative thinking... Its simply not quiet and I might add that it is the staff who are loud not the clientele. Staff who need to be on the telephone should be in an office where the door can be closed. Still more staff talk loudly about the days events, upcoming events and so on. It's very annoying. They also do not have enough study table space as the tables fill up fairly quickly with 1 person at a table... There are really no individual study spaces.

I love this library! The staff are exceptionally wonderful, both in professionalism and in their genuine service to the public. They genuinely and patiently serve you sincerely, and they seem to enjoy their roles and responsibilities while serving you. I also really appreciate the environment: It's clean, fresh, organized, and beckons you to stay and enjoy reading or working there for as long as necessary. Every single visit here is a wonderful experience. I hope this library and their services remain for years to come. God bless and keep you all!

really beautiful library with lots of natural light. The staff are also friendly BUT if you are looking for a quite place to study DON'T come here..... kids from the highschool near by hangout here and aren't respectful of quiet rules which are not being enforced... staff are also quite loud ...

  • Mireille Lemoine

Mostly, it’s that staff that don’t follow the quiet rules (do those apply in libraries anymore?). Very hard to concentrate on reading or studying, as i can’t help but overhear the entire conversation about their weekend (or whatever) between staff members. :(

I go there once a week and find the place clean as well as respectful staffs. They will make an effort to find what you will look for. I am happy to have this library in my community.

My husband I along with our kids enjoy going to this library and look around while the kids play and read Dog man books. Clean, calm and friendly employees.
