A beautiful library to visit. They have soo many genres of books to choose from. My most favorite section is the manga section. It is super cool. They have security guards at the entrance at all times protecting which is a big plus when going to a public library. The kids section is really nice as well. They have many events going on each weekend.
We love this library. I participate in the book club twice a month. Great way to support my love of reading and interact with other people. They have a nice selection of books in the youth/young adult area. The area is set up very cute, like a little hangout. My kids like it.
This is the loudest library I have ever been too. I remember when libraries were quiet and peaceful. I understand there is a school nearby but I would expect the same respect from the children. The library management needs to start managing the behavior and volume of people in the library. I wanted to stay with my kids and hang out for a bit but the teens were cursing, being loud and misbehaving.
This library is wonderful in many ways. It has a good amount of seating, is very pretty inside, the staff is friendly, and there are plenty of books and other resources to use. With that being said, it is not a place you can sit and read a book. There is a very large children's area in the center of the library and it is not an exaggeration to say that there has not been a single visit where there isn't non-stop shrieking from the children all day. I love that the library offers a place for younger age groups, but it should not come at the expense of other's being able to take advantage of their local library. Maybe a more enclosed space or stricter rules about noise would help. If you want to focus on something while here, earplugs are an absolute must.
As of late, I've been coming to the library to utilize their services for printing documents. It's real convenient to where you can use your phone to retrieve any documents you want to print. The do the printings from the QR Code. They do have longer library hours twice a week which is very convenient for individuals who is working and need to go to the library to pick up some items or do some quick things.
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.
