I was able to find a study carrel where I could power up laptops and get some work done (and Yelp reviews written) instead of trying to work from the van when it's just too darned hot.

I haven't been here in a while since I moved out of town, but I came with a friend today in order to print some stuff out and just to let everyone know, the lady that works upstairs behind the desk is an absolute snob of a lady who talks with everyone in a disrespectful manner. She was extremely rude to me and my friend when we asked a very simple question (about how their printing policy had changed) and I barely received any help on top of that, more attitude than what was necessary for a simple question. And it wasn't just us, there was a nice old man that was just asking for some help, and she was practically raising her voice at the poor man! A quick description is that she has dirty blonde hair, and she wears round-rimmed black glasses. If you see her working, I wouldn't even bother trying to talk and/or ask her a thing! Steer clear from her 100%!!! Everyone else that works here, to my knowledge, is very kind and helpful, just stay away from her because she is no help and very unpleasant in general.

The Captain Kimberly Hampton Memorial Library in Easley is a very nice upgrade from the old…read morelibrary. It was named after Kimberly Hampton, a captain in the United States Army, and a military pilot. She was shot down and killed by hostile fire in Iraq in January of 2004. The hours of operations are Monday thru Friday 9AM to 9PM, Saturday 9AM to 6PM and Sunday 2PM to 6PM. There are 3 more branches of the Pickens County library system and they are located in Central, SC, Liberty, SC and Pickens, SC. The library has a lot to offer from reading books, doing research, taking a class or just hanging out in a nice and quiet environment. It's my go to place when I need to have copies made. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I don't even try to mess with the printer. Someone is always willing to help with the printer. They also offer computer classes. If you just want to go and chill out at the library you can do that too, they have some really comfortable chairs!
