I have run by this library from the outside on previous trips and admired it from afar, but today I…read moreactually got a chance to enter. The library was so inviting and I could hear the sound of happy children on a Tuesday morning event while browsing the books on sale. I did not have cash or credit card so did not leave with any books, but know I can come back before 7 pm on a weekday! The bathrooms were super clean and the whole place looked modern. It was built in 2008 but looks much newer and well-kept. The librarian suggested I go upstairs and this was the real treat. I must have looked like I wanted something, so the upstairs librarian helped me find a biography on Oppenheimer as their book of Prometheus Unbound was checked out, which was the book the recent movie was based which I watched on my plane ride yesterday. I saw some comfy seats by the window with amazing views of the river, so I read in peace and quiet. I plan to come back each day to read another chapter! It was such an inviting space and a hub of community activities. If I lived here, I would come daily. Amazing hours-they open at 8 am on weekdays! Don't miss the second floor if you like beautiful views and peaceful, relaxing places to read. Shout out to the friendly librarians here!

It was my impression that they do not have a permanent collection and instead have a revolving display of artists. When I stopped in, they had an exhibit showing works by American women artists. I really enjoyed the works and appreciated the focus on female artists considering the gender disparity in the art world (in regard to pay, exposure, gallery representation, etc). They also had free art magazines available in the library room in the back. The gift shop next door was small but nonetheless had a couple cute items for sale.

So happy I did - my husband and I spent 3 hours in the cafe, reading, drinking coffee, looking at all the amazing books and gifts, and just really having a good time.
