Great place, wish they had more seating arrangements. Otherwise pretty good. I come here for work and study and sometimes there’s not enough study areas.

Worst experience I ever had was the first time I went to this library Not a good place to study. It's noisy! People talking aloud, laughing loud, people tapping so hard on the computer keyboard, phones ringing here and there, etc. I won't recommend this library if you need a quiet place to study

This might be the nicest library I've ever had in my neighborhood. Great architectural design, tons of natural light, and well maintained. I ran here to vote, but I'll be back to check everything else out soon.

Nicely laid out and a surprisingly good selection for a relatively small library. Most of the desk staff are attentive and helpful and overall this branch is a friendly and warm place to visit, which isn't always the case (though the exceptions may be rare). Before the current restrictions they had a number of fun activities for kids. Only thing I'm not too fond of are the very low shelves in the adult area, which help the open layout vibe but make it hard for some elderly and others who can't squat down or lean so well to browse materials.

The first few times, the library it has been manageable and quiet. I am a person that withholds a certified working animal. One day I decide to bring my dog with me and have quality time. They asked for his information, I verified it at the front desk, no problems until one of the staff decides to question and make me feel very uncomfortable with my animal when walking in. She was impatient, but not only aggressive with her words, she physically yanked on the door! Again it may take a minute or two for me to gather my things when the session was over because I have my service animal with me, but when you find it lawful to rush and demand irrational statements such as "you have to get out!" This is no longer a public library it is now 'personal' library. I was very disgusted with her actions and it does not look good not only for the staff but the community as well.

The staff are very kind and helpful, but the only issues is the hours the place is open. As a student I will be in classes from morning to afternoons or afternoons to evenings, and this place is open on the hours I am busy with the in person classes. It would be so much better if they opened around 8-9 am instead of 12 and stay open until 8-9 instead of 5 pm. The only issue with this place except the fact of limited study table is the hours. I need to print my notes after my classes or before, but with the hours of this place I can do neither. By the way I mean to have this hours at all 5 business days of the week.
