Wonderful little library. It was beautifully remodeled a few years ago. It is cozy, with seats and little nooks for working. The neighborhood is quiet and there is always parking available, the staff is helpful and it is an all-around relaxing place to be. The DVD collection is extensive and they have a nice-sized 'large print' section.
The library may be small, however, it still has a large collection. The staff are always super friendly, and the atmosphere is rather cozy. Anyone is always welcome, and they have a wonderful little section for children and teenagers to select books and video content. The catalog of more mature content is also rather impressive, including audiobooks, DVD and BluRay, and plenty of books. The library also provides free Wifi, and access to computers and a printer. And again, the staff are always willing to help, whether it be with finding something, referring you to other resources that they may not have, and to help with printing.
Not a great or friendly environment went there to do some research on the computer I was told to get off a computer that were sitting in a nice quiet place to get on one computer that wasn’t Comfortable i felt like I was in segregationist workers are not friendly they don’t speak. The worker name William was very very rude and need to learn how to say things beneath his breath and not out loud for a person to hear the negative things that came out his mouth after asking him why I have to move from this computer, and I will never visit this location again I remember visiting , coming to this library since I was a little girl and never experienced nothing like that but I won’t be visited again Thanks Williams for making me feel like I wasn’t wanting there very uncomfortable
This is such a great little library, I love how small and compact it is, it makes for a cozy, coffee-shop style type of vibe.Obviously it doesn't have all of the trappings that the larger branches do, but it replaces that with convenience and ease. The staff is always very friendly and helpful as well! Love this little library!
Bad taste in my mouth very rude staff. Very unhelpful. Said nasty comments
This is just the nicest library with the most helpful and kind librarians. It's so cozy and welcoming!
Love this small branch. Easy to maneuver. Ample parking.
Attended an incredible program today by Yasu Ishida: Magic Story Artist that included Japanese stories, music, origami, magic, & storytelling! This branch is absolutely fantastic resource for learning and kids programs!
Always a good time here- love story times with William & Taylor!
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.
