Clean, comfortable, safe, well-stocked, friendly staff...what could you possibly ask more from a public library? Not only do they offer multilingual books for kids, they will also suggest other libraries to visit if you're in a hurry & don't want to request them. They are Covid-safe and aware: there is a station in front of the library with masks for adults AND children, as well as hand sanitizer. The Children's area still has the toys/puppets/etc still up on a shelf-awaiting the time when it is safe to come down again. One great thing this location has is just around the corner: Jones Coffee! You can grab your library materials & a great cup of coffee too!

Nice views in every corner

Nice spacious well designed architecture. However I do not like to sit on pure nylon chairs: so I bring my own cotton sweaty to sit on, because of a s more hygienic form my but and the furniture. Space is available between tables and chairs: more privacy.

Come here often over the years. Nicely designed. Excellent selection of books and media. Great…read moremeeting and conference rooms.

This library is STUNNING. I don't think I could possibly take photographs that would do it justice,…read moreit's an architectural piece of art. Manages to be huge and modern and glassy while still feeling cozy. It's my absolute favorite place to curl up with a book for a few hours, or bring my laptop and work on writing my novel. It is also very clean, including the bathrooms, with helpful staff. I will say there are many homeless people who like to sleep on the comfy furniture here, and the stench can be something fierce. I'm not trying to be insensitive, but really... the smell is enough to gag me. But when I lived in Honolulu and Portland they had this same problem in the grand main branch of their library. I think it's just what happens in major cities. Fortunately, there are three floors of reading lofts where they do not go, and also all four floors have private study rooms available. You can reserve them online, or you can ask to be let into a walk-in one. They always have several available. Another nice thing about this library is the desks. They have reading lamps and power outlets for laptops. And the place is flooded with natural light. It makes a huge difference in my mental focus and clarity of mind to research or write somewhere with light that is both bright and soft, with a controlled temperature. We are lucky to have this library.
