Libraries now are so much more than books! The library does have a great selection of books, magazines and media such as DVDs. There are areas for quite reading, meetings and computer stations. Its website is awesome with links to Gale Courses, software, community events, genealogy and more. The library is also host to many events such as family movie night, Write night and board game days. Library events are free to the public. Community events are also available at the library including meetings for the Genealogical Society, yoga classes, performing arts and more! The library also has great children's programs, a butterfly garden, and is part of a solar energy project.

The reading programs and activities they have going on for both kids and adults are fantastic! They really make an effort to get people involved with what they're doing, almost more so than any library I've ever been a member of. I highly recommend it, and I go a few times a week!

This library boasts a large collection of materials, as well as many useful community resources. The librarians are always courteous and helpful. I have seen them answer all sorts of questions without missing a beat, and they seem genuinely dedicated to helping others. There always seems to be some kind of activity going on during the week, and they especially have many activities for kids - concerts, magicians, movie nights, etc. They have multiple self-checkouts, so you never have to wait long (usually not at all!) to check out your items. It has a Keurig, sells snacks, and usually has a puzzle or coloring pages out to enjoy. It also has conference rooms that you can reserve if you want some more privacy while working or want to have a meeting there. As much as I love this library, there are some downfalls. First, the parking situation is kind of a mess - there simply isn't enough of it for how busy the library is. Secondly, because it usually is busy, it can be hard to find an open table at times and enjoy a quiet atmosphere. Because it has an open layout, you can often hear children screaming/crying if you are upstairs in the "adult" section. If you think about it, these "downfalls" only prove how popular this place is. Overall, this library is great!

There are cute nooks to read in, a big play area, a crafting room, and a large variety of children books. I loved seeing the small enclosures near the computer for those with small babies that need to have a space for the baby while the parent uses the computer. The main and upper level are full of books, media, local art work displays, and conference/tech/study rooms. The one person bathrooms are super large, have hooks for bags, and are gender neutral. The library also offers a water bottle refill stations on each level too. There is a snack machine on the main level.
