The idea of a library is to provide a resource of knowledge to the general public. Much of the viewable collection is complete schlock. Common volumes of classics in public domain, department store mystery novels, religious text not grounded in the study of theology, biographies of the most powerful individuals, etc. A collection should be representative of many narratives and viewpoints. I understand not including the most radical or controversial literature in public view, but the lacking in your collection indicates a stand against knowledge. While it is important to provide for the general public, it is also important achieve and provide for those looking beyond the readily available. Books often are out of print/circulation. Not buying or throwing out valuable resources is a detriment to the community and, on a long enough timetable, society at large.

Selection is decent in books, magazines, and DVDs. Even better are the seating areas, parking areas, and bathrooms, which are all generous in size and well kept.

On top of that, they're next to the Bonnie Conner park, perfect for a stroll after some reading time.

They always have the newest books but you must get them fast (2 week limit). My favorite section is their DVD collection, they have newest releases and the oldest classics. Their printing services are fantastic! It's still 10 cents per copy and free scanning privileges. They have an area of audio books, which I adore even though my family says it's cheating. You can even check out CD's! Oh my goodness guys, they have canned food drives 1-2 times a year that cover your late fees! I always take advantage of this event and bring my entire pantry even though I owe at most $2. You can self checkout but BEWARE if you have a late fee the computer will say "uh oh" in which everyone turns to look at the culprit lol I've managed to rack up $1.80 and I swear my notification sounds like Megadeath "UH OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!! My receipts always let me know how much I've saved, so this year I've saved almost $2,600 , YES! The staff are the best I've ever encountered! If anyone ever looks lost or confused they go right to you, so sweet. ************************************ Friends of the Library is located to your right hand side once you walk in to the library. I LOVE THIS STORE! You can get a popular paperback book for $1, and newest hardbacks are $4. My first visit I bought 11 paperbacks (Nicholas Sparks/Allende/Jennifer Weiner/Evanovich/Orsen Welles/Yann Martel) all for $11.88! Please note that all funds are applied to creating community programs that enhance all areas of life. They recently had their annual book sale and raised $26,000! Way to go!
