So much for learning more about Paso Robles during our stopover. We did walk around the outside and it was just a brick building in the middle of a large park.

My library experience here is hands down the worst ever on a consistent basis. There is one…read morelaughing female staff person who does so while hyperventilating and making remarks about what people are doing on the public computers which are placed directly in front of the main desk. It is  completely baffling why she's not being disciplined. It's utterly useless to try and get any work done here with her "working" there. I reported it but she is still (employed?) there. All of the libraries in the County of San Luis Obispo are peculiarly unconventional from what have been historically designed to be quiet environments. Anymore, the norm seems to have morphed into a social scene, allowing places for people to entertain their children. Avoid this library at all cost. Being nearly vacant, it seems that would-be patrons do.
