To be honest - it was my first time being inside of a 'research' library. It didn't take long for…read moreme to realize that their focus is on non-fiction books, articles, and study materials. They do have a small selection of fiction books though. I was originally concerned when I was looking for study books that my previous local library had, but this 'research' library didn't. I've filled out requests to get some books through their Inter Library Loan program, and I didn't have high expectations since I've tried it before at other libraries and my requests just sat in limbo. Yet, it seems they have a Inter Library Loan Technician and it seems that is all he does and I received an e-mail a week library that books were ready for pickup, that were shipped from a different state. Was thoroughly impressed. Not only that - but I submitted some purchase requests for some expensive books to assist me with studying for certifications. Not 1 - but 3 books were approved for purchase and was there in a few weeks. Quiet - numerous computers, and an ever growing library - and if they don't have it - they won't hesitate to ordering it for you! Oh and no late fees - can't beat that.

Libraries are great. I think most people have fond memories of visiting as kids and if you're like…read moreme, those memories are very suburban. The libraries I grew up visiting had 90s flair, and while amazing spaces that kept me entertained all summer long, they didn't have the grandeur of an iconic inner city library - like this one. The first time I stepped foot in here as a young adult I was in awe. It's just a gorgeous building, and incredible atmosphere to sit and read. The parking garage is set up to look like a bookshelf which I think is cute, and I love how you can just get lost in here and enjoy the space. It just FEELS like a library which sounds dumb but is true. What pushes this into five star territory for me though is the rooftop terrace. On a nice day there really isn't a better spot for an urban picnic.

Inside, there's a decent quantity of books available, but what's nice is they always have the New York Times bestselling books present and on display. There's also a very large selection of dvds and CDs and other multimedia content. This library offers 6 public computers with full Internet access and a few others with library catalog capability. There are plenty of chairs, desks, and couches available for leisurely reading or quiet work which I highly recommend taking advantage of. Furthermore, there is a large room on the north end which is used for special activities, including children's readings and art projects! One more thing I really like here is that they are open till 9 pm on Monday and Thursday evenings... Very accommodating for later schedules. A downside is it's not open later more often... But what can you expect in a small-town library? The staff here are super, super friendly and a huge help with anything the customer needs. The facilities are new and nice. Come and enjoy this library as much as I do!

As long as our society has public libraries, I have hope for the future.
