    Yes, I'm reviewing a library. I know, I know. It's weird, right?…read more I was in panic mode during my final days of studying for a certification exam for my work, so I decided to head over to the library to free me from distractions so I could really focus. Let me tell you, folks, heading to this location for some peace and quiet was a BIG mistake. The library itself is on the small scale with a few tables set up here and there and, from what I could tell, two computers that were available to use. I headed for the back corner (prime studying location), which happens to be next to the location where the two librarians are parked doing their thing. Within five minutes of being there, the librarians were in full on conversation mode about their cats, their friends' cats, this person's family, that person's car...whatever they could possibly think of. This is a library, right? Right. What happened to all the shhh-ing and the inside voices? Or have the rules changed? I decided to stick around and pop on my headphones to drown them out. But just when I was getting back into the wonderful world of Finance, an older gentleman came in to check out a book. This wouldn't have been an issue, but it turns out he already had FOUR overdue books out. Scandalous!!! I couldn't take anymore. I lasted twenty minutes in there. And no, I didn't say anything to them. I should have, but I was better off just walking out and going back home. I guess what I'm trying to say here is, don't come to this location if you're trying to study or concentrate. Or if you do, I wish you better luck than I had.

    Very nice Children's library area. A great selection of children's books, toys, and activities for…read morecreative play.
