The library is a great place for public access, with no tickets required.
My daughter (4) loves going there. They have some great things for kids to do.

I am ecstatic to be living near such a great library. The selection is of course amazing. I have to highlight the abundance of materials in several languages. They have lots to offer in terms of books and other media in Russian, Mandarin, Arabic, Ukrainian, and more. Special shoutout to the children's library area. Awesome.
