You can even use your library card information to join certain websites and listen to audio books, read online, and even reserve copies ahead of time! The kid/young adult section is my favorite and definitely makes reading more appealing to younger kids! 10/10 would recommend!

I almost went for 2 stars, but who does that to a Library?

Pros: it's a real Carnegie library, build by the benefactor himself. Thank you, even if you were a murderous union buster. Requisite monolithic architecture is still looking good and they've maintained most of the vibe w/ the lighting and bookshelves upstairs. Downstairs is fully rehabbed into children's area. This place rocks for kids. Central play area surrounded by books reflects an expectation that small children will run around and play while they careen off the bookshelves. Editorial aside: I'm mixed on this new attitude in Libraries. I've seen it in several across the country and as a child of libraries- I literally spent entire summers in the Library in Tulsa, Ok growing up, it is where I learned to CONCENTRATE IN SILENCE. I do not like this new, "it's ok to scream in the Library" attitude. That is for parks. Yes, I am going public with this and all of you with the "toddlers needs to express themselves" argument, please, take them home or to the park for that. That being said, at least at this Library this section is in the basement. CONS: There are bathrooms. The women's works and is not filthy. Otherwise, it is dismal and depressing and reflects this places proximity to the soup kitchen next door. (Lest you think I am expressing a disapproval of homelessness, let me be clear, everyone should be able to use a library and a public bathroom. This doesn't mean those places should be dismal and depressing.) This is not a good place to work or read. There is one large table surrounded by wooden chairs, one small table in the other room. Some upholstered reading chairs in corners- lighting is insufficient to read by, outlets are scarce. Small children tend to run rampant (they've escaped the down stairs) and might bang on things next to you for some time until their fondly indulgent parent decides to interrupt their self expression and actually pick them up and move them rather after telling them to desist in a mild manner for 5 minutes. And yes, I do like children & I like them in libraries- when they are not screaming or banging.

I found myself making the trip to take care of some work, as well as flip through some books. - A lot bigger than I expected, and the building gives off a corporate business vibe rather than a library - Parking lot and street parking are available - 3 floors to check out, the 4th floor is reserved for (large) meeting rooms - They have multiple study rooms for 2-4 people, which you can reserve online through their website without a library card - Art exhibit on the 3rd floor - The 1st floor has a coffee bar, with a few pastries. They ask you to enjoy your food and drinks on the first floor. - Lots of seating areas sprinkled throughout the building - which is great! Easy to find a quiet empty area to work. - See a librarian to get access to the restroom, they need to buzz you in. The ability to provide so many amazing free services to the community is wonderful!

They really try to bring the community in for cultural enrichment through film, author appearances, swaps, classes and more. Just recently, they hosted Tibetan monks who constructed a sand mandala over a few days' time - such a peaceful experience to watch them create such an intricate piece of work. The library itself is very clean, spacious, and the architecture is very modern - a unique contrast to the century-old buildings that sit just across the street from it. This library is a gem that everyone in this town can be proud of.

The natural light finds its' way in every place that you need it to; the three chapel/citadel steeple-folds furnish us with it. Each study nook(separate from the actual reservable study rooms) all have windows on either side of the table. Internet use, now just as necessary as books in any given library, is easy to obtain. Many, many, many desktops can be found without a pilot. How nice, and rather unexpected, as it were. Next, of course, is the staff. I have yet to find myself being served by a staff member who wears the "I-don't-give-a-sh*t" face draped over their head. Not here. I am more often than not delighted by the staff without asking to be. Book selection is fine, more than fine, really. The monthly theme welcomes you at the door, and again at the mouth of the books in the rear of the building. This is oft-accompanied by "staff picks", which is so fun. You can't really learn much if you stick to your own tastes. No growth is done in this way; the staff picks will help in growing the tastes of the hungry reader who doesn't know where to go next, but does know that staying with what they know just won't do. I believe I've said enough.
