Cons: -Only one level is designated for quiet study. -The women's bathrooms are disgusting esp the 1st level (never cleaned; frequently runs out of all toilet paper, paper towels, and toilet seat covers) -Overpacked during finals week -Trash bins are ALMOST ALWAYS full. Don't know how this library has such good reviews. Because it's the newer library, people constantly flock over here. Personally not a big fan, but when it's not midterms or finals season, it's decent.

Upon entering this library location, we were warmly greeted by a library employee. The library building layout is spacious and has clearly defined spaces for kids, teens, and adults.

I especially appreciated that they have a community resources binder available for the public to view and provides community members with the option to add any additional resources to the binder. With a laid back environment, colorful artwork on the walls, and friendly library staff, we will definitely be visiting this library location again soon.
