I saw my first movie at the library on a Saturday afternoon more than 30 years ago there. The books in its stacks cultivated my interest in reading. To this day, the place always feels like home. They have a decent number of computers for patrons and their staff is simply top-notched. They also have a regular series of special events - movie screenings, classes and so on. You can check their web site for the latest schedule.

This library has a great deal of books, movies, and computers for public use. I like that they have…read morethe children's section with more than one computer for the kids to play educational games. They have a movie section, but it is not in any real kind of order & then they are facing forward instead of with the spine facing you so that you can easily flip through. The staff doesn't seem to be helpful what so ever. The tone from the women is with an attitude, as if they are ready to retire or have had a bad day everyday. Overall it's an ok branch if you live in the area, but not a place to make special trips for unless you have reserved a book you can't find anywhere else. NOTE: Parking is across the street in a lot that is not patrolled. And if you park on the side street make sure you are 4 spaces back from the corner to avoid a $30 ticket.

I haven't used the computers, but there are people here and there using them - so must be useful for some, and if you're looking to use it, you likely won't have to wait.

It is easy to get into the parking lot. The staff is professional and earnest in their duties. I had a very nice time here with volunteers recently. I stopped by to pick up some books to take with me to a community health fair I was attending. The volunteers were very helpful in getting me to the children's section, so that, I could pick out age appropriate materials. They had a wide selection and all in very good shape. This library is a great place to look for a job, study or do interesting things. They have plenty of items going on for the community as well.

There are tasteful murals along the back wall of the library featuring large Cardinal Birds. A welcome site in any season and especially in wintertime. Just behind the library is a 'Reading Park' with a large gazebo, several benches and a lawn under shade trees. Though there is no play set here it is a nice place to take children to play ball or read books. The library itself is on the small side but is packed with books. The librarians are very helpful and engaged. They have computer systems that are open to the public. You just need to sign up to use them.
