Place is close to home. I'm grateful to have a summer study spot , as I will NOT be coming here when the students return. However, I find the librarians are loud. I thought this was a library and not a workers reunion spot. Would I be rude if I said shhhhhhhhhshhh?
Plenty of space, very user friendly.
Lots of seating (and outlets!) with shared materials from the HS you can't get at any other branch! Lots of events for children in the evening. Comfy seating as well.
never try to return books at this location. I’m not sure what is even the point of funding such a limited library
We love this library. They have programs for little and big kids. Librarians are nice 🌸 …
We are having our 40th class reunion with 3 other classes and we got to walk the halls today. It was great looking down the hallway and going back to our old days of remembering some of our classes and seeing the new parts of the school.
It's an Average library and Nice one. The Computers in the Library NEEDS to BE CLEAN. Please take the Time.
Not open on a Tuesday during the day. How is that public or community minded.
The staff member I dealt with was helpful and went above and beyond in trying to find the book I had placed a hold on.
They are CLOSED, relocating. Nowhere is it posted online. Drove 30 mins to find them closed, when online they still have their open hours posted. Frustrating.
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.
