Wow, it seems like this library isn't very popular that it's going 13 years since Michael wrote the…read morefirst review and now here's me. That's a bummer as reading is fundamental and having a quiet place to work is also super important. I was here at the library for close to four hours (couldn't ignore my stomach any longer) pounding away at work emails, dialing in to Zoom calls and generally being productive. It was awesome to have a study room where I could make a little bit of noise that perhaps I couldn't have done if I was out in the main part of the library. They have lots of workstations here for people to browse the internet. Of course, the usual fiction, non-fiction, periodicals, reference and other library sections. The wifi works great and there are some power outlets around. [Review 19832 overall - 308 in Arkansas - 805 of 2023.]

It has reminded me how much I love to hold a book in my hands, and searching through the shelves was part of the fun! It was hard to find some copies even though it said online it was in the library, when I got to its location it was not there. I am thinking of placing holds to pick up the next time. They also have a used book store on the first floor right by the entrance--great deals and also fun to sift through

It's got a section for teenagers and a large section for children in the basement that will make children feel like they've visited a special place, just for them. The staff was able to help us make library cards, which is easy, as long as you have copy of your ID on you and we were able to try out the computers and explore the books and find our first 3 (Limited to 3 the first time you check out, but 10 or 20 after that) books and are excited to read them and return them, so we can revisit and check out from this library again. This place is absolutely worth checking out and they also provide a lot of community activities you can get involved in and have a neat walking trail out front with statues of animals we want to walk down when the weather warms up.
