Always friendly staff who are ready to help.
I enjoy their different programs activities they always seem to be planning so that through out the whole year they have something going on!
I have fond memories of going here often when I was in school- I am glad I can still go there to read, use a computer if needed, or just have some fun.

Great atmosphere and wonderful staff, they have a very extensive collection of everything, best manga collection of any library I've been to plus they use online services for audiobooks and e books.

It's a wonderful place for young & old! Very clean, super helpful people. Lots to see, read & do at our library. If they don't have the book or movie you're looking for, no problem, they will get it from another library for you! And there's Hoopla & Libby for all your audio book needs. So if you haven't been to your library lately? Get up and go!! The Internet is great, but there's just something awesome about holding a book in your hand!

The library staff are kind and there are many books to check out. Plus you can check out movies, audiobooks, and some cookware. Also there are computers which you can use up there. And they have pots and pans that can apparently be checked out.

It is very easy to come here to read a book and the world just melts around you, so it is just heavenly to sit and read. To get away from a busy and stressful world, this is the place to go, and just get away. You can be yourself here, and just enjoy the peace and quiet. Also, the staff is very friendly and very willing to help you if you need anything! I recommend coming here on days off just to unwind.

I love this library!!! They had a movie playing for children and their families... popcorn to snack on, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Quite a big selection of books too. Wonderful computer lab access and lovely places to sit and read quietly. Great library!!

I know this is for a small window of time but if you like BBQ and learning about spice rubs they have a small area set up so you can make your own dry rub and take home to use, and show off how good of a grill master your are with you own homemade rub! Stop at the information desk and ask about it and all the grilling books that they have. Now maybe I should not of saved this part to put in towards bottom. But.....this is all FREE!! You get a glass jar, spices and recipes all for FREE!! Yes it's a short window that it will be available but go now!! Before it's all gone. Check out all the other things that the library has to offer you besides a book! You would be shocked!!
