Good place to read & borrow resources
Staff is always helpful in the reference department. Great, fast and easy place to make copies and send a fax for a minimal fee.
The staff is gentle, many people spend time in the library, I'd like to find more reasons to spend more time there, events? Games? Professional meetings?
I went there to study and it was very difficult due to the fact that all the women that worked there just talked and laughed the whole time and they were very loud it didn’t seem like that had any sense of the fact that people come here for quite and they were the mostly distracting things there I had to leave.
Friendly, helpful staff . Taking out books, movies and have used destination passes for trips
Great place to relax your brain with reading... today I went for copies, the guy that works there helped me. He was kind and very helpful.
I love the library a lot and the librarias, but in the past year, there has been too many homeless people staying there all day. And they smell bad.I just get the books I want and leave now instead of sitting there and reading like I used to. I don't know what to say, because it IS a public place.
Excelente Library, I like go to visit reading some book, relaxing
I love coming to this library with my child. So many amazing options for books & the staff are very helpful.
I'm glad to see that the library staff does not harass the people that are less fortunate that are using the space for comfort and research
Why it matters
Go with a question.
Places like this are more than coordinates. They are where ideas become decisions, where communities keep memory, and where the words in a textbook become a room you can stand inside.
