They even have museum passes which will get you into the MFA for $10 vs the usual $27!

They didn't have some of the books I was looking for but I could request that they get them from another branch. There is parking behind the library- which is a huge win because it's so hard to park on Main Street. The library also has a kids section, and lets you rent puzzles, dvds etc. I definitely recommend going here but maybe look if they have the book first if you're looking for something specific. The app is great!

You don't even need a library card to take books out, just your license. If they don't have a specific book you were looking for they will order it from another library and send you an email when it's ready. There selection is vast too so they usually do have the books I am looking for. They have two lots for parking so you will always find a spot.

It's been closed for COVID, so I'm looking forward to seeing it opened again.

There's an elevator and stairs right when you walk in to make it accessible to everyone. The librarians are super friendly and when you walk in you have the option to take a left (heading into the children's space) or take a right. No matter which direction you take, you can do a full circle and end up back at the front desk area. Great flow and setup that creates a community feel. This library is full of books, seating, natural light, study desks by the windows looking out at Oak Square, computers and a printer, and more. So glad to see it back up and running in the neighborhood!

This is a great library that is actually bigger than I was expecting. It doesn't seem that big from the outside but is pretty spacious inside with a lot of books and laid out well with individual work/reading areas as well as more communal areas. It's clean and calm. I love getting to come here and find something new to read. Of course there's more than just books, there's also other things that can be checked out from the library and they have a lot of library resources for those who have a library card. A great way to get plugged into the city and get to explore more local things, especially for people who are new to the city, looking to try new things, or for families. They offer a lot of programming for kids, families, and adults. The app that they have also makes it super easy to check books out and explore some of the resources at the library has available. The staff has been super nice and overall this is a great location and resource!
