I come to this library primarily to use the study rooms which are nice, spacious and comfortable. They have a white board inside of them as well. My favorite part of this library is the display of African American baseball artifacts on multiple levels. It shows how important, valuable and the great contribution African Americans players made to the sport of baseball. Park on the garage level.....maybe on floor 3 of the garage which had a small bridge to enter the library directly. Also, The community college shares the upper floors of this library as well which includes larger study rooms and an entire computer lab. The staff is really helpful as well. Will definitely be back time and time again

I had been purchasing books online through thrift retailers, but a friend suggested borrowing them from the library instead to save money. After browsing the library's website, I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide selection of newly released memoirs available. I'm now saving a significant amount, and the three-week borrowing period is generous--especially with the option to renew if there are no holds. The library itself is spacious, bright, and very welcoming. While I haven't fully explored it yet, it appears to have dedicated areas for children and teens. In addition to books, I noticed they offer DVDs and have far more computers than I remember from the library I used to visit in Montgomery County decades ago. The staff I interacted with while setting up my library account and locating newly released memoirs were both knowledgeable and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I also appreciate the convenient exterior features, including a book drop located right out front and a parking lot with an awning that provides coverage for cars. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with what this library has to offer and the welcoming service I've received so far.

I did have the opportunity to use the library briefly. In addition to a library, this locale is a senior center. I love this idea, as there should be a place where seniors can go to have activities. I believe that the senior center is on the upper level. The library is on the lower area, nice in size and nicely organized no complaints there. Here lies my issues: Parking. Wowza. It is limited. Despite there being parking in the front, side, and a parking lot behind the library it still appears to be limited based on the volume. Be careful where you park, because you will be towed! The meeting room is pretty cool; however, it can be a wee bit loud as the door is quite heavy and slams, additionally you can hear just about everything from folk in the restroom to the elevator being operated. It isn't ideal but it definitely meets the need.
