And sometimes, when you're lucky, the first floor is flooded with old books looking to be rehomed. Don't wait for the sale, come explore, and keep coming.

On top of that check out the events on their website or social media, they have so many free activities for adults and kids alike, from art activities to movie nights to so many more. We have been to paint nights for both adults and even my 1 year old, they had a cool baby race my daughter participated in, we gave been to trivia and always participate in their summer read program.

The library had a curbside pickup; bonus for people not wanting to enter due to COVID19. Bathrooms were clean, and they had books for sale when you walked in.

I grew up in a small town library not much bigger than your average Sunday school, so to be hit with such awe at the the vastness of a library- just, golly. I'd shout with excitement, but this is a library we're reviewing after all. There is a section devoted to kids, teens, computers, music, even coupons left by the community for the grabbing. The staff is very helpful, and I've never had a bad experience when visiting. They even sell gently read books in the entry way for dirt cheap! Sure, they ask that you turn off your phone, as to not disturb the peace, but take a chance and escape into the palace of books...or just put the thing on vibrate.

I was there in early May when everything is just starting. They had a little library book sale and I picked up a David Sedaris book for a quarter. There is a great children's section. There is also a wonderful remembrance area for Flight 3407, in the back. This library also had a cute Sherlock Holmes display case that was donated to the library. This library is clean and beautifully maintained. The librarians were friendly as well. There is a large parking lot. For a Friday afternoon it was quite busy.

Plus they were open later, which is convenient for us. So after work, off we went. The Clarence Library has plenty of parking in a big lot, which was light-and-bright on a cold, dark night. As soon as you walk in, you can see the full expanse of the vaulted, open space. It is a nice-sized library, with well-marked sections. Movies are to the right, adult books to the left, teen and children materials in the back, periodicals in the back-right corner, with all the other sections you'd expect to find at a library somewhere in between. There were computer workstations spread out in pod-like setups throughout the space, a few together in each pod, and some chunks of seating areas too. It took me a minute to find my Harry Potter items, as the books were not in Youth or YA, but rather in a separate "Series" section in the middle of the library. And the movies were in a separate "Family Viewing" section, too. But a friendly librarian helped me find everything that I needed, which was all in stock. Clarence is a very nice, bright, inviting library. When we need something and the hours/availability are convenient again at Clarence Library, we'll be back! :-)

My kids were particularly fond of the wooden dollhouse and the play kitchen. Also available were computers with headphones. Many kids were taking advantage of these and playing games. We also saw a number of raffles going as an incentive to get the kids reading over the summer months. The standout observation I had about this place was how many books they had for sale! Quite a selection! We are in from out of town so that was a nice option to grab something for the kids for the road that we didn't have to worry about returning, and the prices were fair at .50 for most and 1.00 for kids hardcover. Definitely seemed like the selections were geared more towards a kids library.

I didn't know what I was looking for and just wanted to browse but having them mixed in with all the other books made that almost impossible. They don't even have a graphic novel sticker on the spine like some other libraries do. I was bummed until I talked to Sonoma. She apologized for not having them organized by genre and said she hopes to get that done soon, it's been on the list of things to do for a while. First she asked some questions to see what type would interest me most. Then she proceeded to gather graphic novels off the shelf for me. piling one after another on a table. She explained each one just a bit as the stack grew. She had great insight and knowledge that I appreciated. I ended up with about 20 books (I'm kind of obsessed and couldn't resist Sonoma's enthusiastic "sales pitch"). When I checked out she even put them in a nice bag for me (asking me to return the bag next time I visit) and I left there so happy with a ton of new reading material. Many of the titles were really, really good too! Sonoma turned me on to new authors that I will continue to read. There's nothing like a librarian who knows her stuff!
