Plus, your library card allows you to access digital collections too; I have an audiobook checked out right now. The staff have always been kind and helpful and the library also hosts events and clubs for the public. I'm a regular at one of those clubs. It helped me make some friends with shared interests after I moved here. This is one of my favorite places in town.

It's also not intuitive, when you walk in, where different departments might be located.

In all fairness, I haven't tried the library's programming, interlibrary loan system, ebooks or other services - maybe they're spectacular. I hope they are.

Even with the earlier closing time, I'm certain we had time to get a card and the books my kiddos needed for a report. I even had a list of the books needed. We will be traveling further to get our library cards to a library that embraces and encourages literacy, as this one seems to be a lost cause My advice for the library management is to seek employees or find volunteers that will welcome patrons, not turn them away because they want to leave early.

But I signed up for a library card & met some of the staff members (who are friendly & helpful). I sat down at a table upstairs & read & browsed through a book that was lying on the table. They also have DVDs & audio books to rent. Upstairs is the collection of young adult non-fiction & fiction (the room), there is also a children's section, a western section, a sci-fi section, & a mystery section. Those are the sections I have found so far. Since I have a card now, I hope to return so I can start checking out some books!
