I hate it all I hate everything about it ,the nice warm comfy and cozy touches are gone and what up with the gray scale color palette, this place doesn't make me want to come inside pull up a chair and read a book it makes me want to find the nearest dark corner and hide it's too loud too bright too open too empty and there are too many cameras and all the comfy furniture is gone this place doesn't make you feel welcome it makes me want to go home it's unwelcoming you feel like you're on display and being watched I hate it, I'f I could give it zero stars I would and half of the books are gone and the material simply haven't been moved it's gone it's not even registered on their computer anymore it tells me they threw it away and the bathroom stinks all the time ,the new hours are pathetic is there going to be open that little amount of time they might as well not open on those days at all ,they should have simply updated and fixed what needed to be and left the rest alone if the place burn to the ground today or tomorrow I wouldn't feel the tiny shred of sympathy.

The piss smell is sooo loud he sits there pissing on himself he stinks really bad making others suffer...
