Pretty decent library, and one that typifies the turn libraries have taken in the past 10 years or so from simple, functional, massive collections of stuff (books, typically), to more inviting and multi-functional community spaces.
Which is to say they don't have a huge selection of material. It's actually a little shocking how few shelves they have, and of these, maybe 70% is devoted to books and the rest is DVDs, CDs, games, Audio books and so forth.
There is a massive open space devoted to children, with whimsical spaces for kids to hang out. Lots of comfortable seating for grown-ups as well, and it's functional and clean. Overall the design and aesthetic is top-notch. Beautiful, high ceilings with warm lighting. Floor to ceiling windows surround the majority of the building letting in lots of natural light.
The location is a bit odd, and I'm guessing they figure the space will be filled in with more density 5-10 years down the road since right now the surrounding area is a bit under-developed. The park right outside makes the library a great 1-2 punch for an outing with kiddos.
Bathrooms are clean.
Lots of conference rooms for groups.
Contracted security on-site every time I've been here, which is both good and bad depending on how you look at it. read more
