I think the staff could work a little harder in maintaining quietness in the library. It's the loudest Library I've ever been to. Libraries I've been to in the past were so quiet you could hear a pen drop. This particular library, although I love very much, is too LOUD, which prevents me a lot of the time from concentrating on projects, updating my resume, or searching for employment.

I couldn’t take it, I’m not about to sit where eyes are looking inappropriately at me. I walked up to the front desk, gave her the slip back & said never mind, & walked...
Read moreThey have all the paperbacks, hardcovers, and graphic novels I could ever want (YMMV). They also have computers and Internet access, as well as physical media (DVDs and I think Blu-Rays). Oh, and they have game nights and other weekly events, as one would expect. They have a decent website (as far as library websites go, at least).
I enjoy visiting the library and taking advantage of my tax dollars at work, and you should too! Especially if...
