Beautiful Library and the staff was great. I could honestly stay in there for hours.

A wonderful public library! What a community gem. Just visiting for the week with two little kids and this was a great find to keep them busy for a while. Great books, lots of activities they can do.

I love the employees of this branch for their willingness to assist me when my car broke down in their parking lot (even though and especially since it's definitely not part of their job descriptions). I greatly appreciate their helpfulness and resourcefulness to help me out
