There's a lot of seating throughout and you should be able to find a quiet spot. They have the newer self checkout kiosks now so you don't have to chit chat if that's not your thing. The librarians do seem friendly though. The cafe isn't open past 6 on any day but it seems to have sandwiches, soups and baked goods; there are a few tables to sit as well. Parking lot is large and shared with the municipal building. An easy walk into town for food and shopping.

There's a private lot so parking is always easy. Closed on Sundays.

"Ya, I review libraries now..."…read more Small library, but solid selection of books. They also recently made upgrades to the interior, including a new and improved young adult section, and also added multiple new computers and seats. It's usually very quiet here, minus an hour or two after Brookside Middle School and Hillside Elementary School students are dismissed at the end of the school day, since lots of children come to the library with their parents, or stop by to do homework. The staff is also very friendly, minus one kind of scary employee. Forget Redbox, just order DVDs through the BCCLS site and put your tax dollars to work.

However, the reason for not giving a 5-star review is entirely due to the attitude of the librarians. They never smile back and stare at you in a very uncomfortable way as you're entering the library. They are very cold, unprofessional and unwelcoming which affects the overall peaceful experience you were hoping to attain at the library.

There are several seating areas, some with desks for working, some small rooms for group study, and club chairs to relax in.

However, I was pretty upset that they didn't have the Economist in the periodical section. Plenty of other mags to enjoy, though. Happy reading!
