    I love the library and the relaxing atmosphere. I especially like the musicals in the DVD collection.

    Some favorite things: the sizable graphic novel area; the new books area; the maker's space; the…read morechildren's department - so many great books and a fun space for storytelling. Should I buy a book? I often check it out at the library first and decide if I want it in my own collection. Fun to see people playing chess with the giant chess pieces; often very interesting displays from artists and other groups in the community. So lucky that there is a bookmobile. A very pleasant place to be if you just want to browse for books, read, and explore the possibilities (maybe the green screen or 3-D printer?) And the Steele has a green roof!

    I have a large soft spot in my heart for libraries... but not this one. I've been in several times…read moreto print off resumes and every time it's the same thing: no one smiles, offers to help, and no greeting. I had a couple questions during my time there and each time I would walk up to the counter and the librarian (or aid) would ignore me and stare blankly into the computer screen... come on? You 'can't' see me? I finally got a letter stating my new permanent address in the area and went to get a library card... what-a-joke. The two employees at the check-out counter made me feel like I was putting a burden on them. At one point, I almost told the male employee to forget it and walk out. I woke up this same morning excited to go get a library card in my new town, as I am a lover of books. But this facility made all that excitement go down the drain - fast.

    I'm not sure why it's taken me this long to write a review for this library, but let's fix that…read moreright now. I really enjoy this location. You get the charm of the original building paired with the modern beauty of the Bausch & Lomb structure both are worth seeing. The library offers a ton of programs for kids, teens, and adults. Definitely check their website, because there's so much going on. Becoming a cardholder is easy, and once you are, make sure you look into their VIP section, you can snag free or discounted tickets to local attractions. You can check out physical books, audiobooks, and ebooks, and they're great if you need computer access or printing. They also have plenty of study areas and quiet spots to get work done. Honestly, they offer more than most people realize (myself included until recently!). The only downside is parking and it can be a bit tricky. I'm not sure if they validate or offer any vouchers, so it's worth asking. I was lucky enough to find street parking... but yes, you do have to pay. A great library with so much to offer. Highly recommend exploring everything they provide.

    This library is split up between two buildings. We spent most of our time at the more modern one…read morethat contains the children's and teen sections. The children's section was large with lots of books and plenty of activities. A coloring station, a small play greenhouse to read in, and a "secret room" hidden behind a bookshelf, providing another quiet area to play or read. Children's section had its own bathrooms, with child-sized fixtures, which was convenient.
