Iroquois Library — Attraction in Louisville

Made the mistake of thinking I could utilize the FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY to sort through and prepare some very important paperwork. Literally all 5 of the tables they had were taken. So I went back up to the front and sat at the one empty table I seen. Immediately I'm asked "Ma'am...are you in high-school " I reply...."Obviously not" She says "oh...well this is for teens only."

It's a ton of kids in there right now because it's fall break but they can be all throughout but I can't. And it's my tax dollars paying these employees who were less considerate nor accommodating. Now I have to Google a whole...

This woman was helping someone else at the printer while we were waiting for her to finish helping the person to utilize the printer. She had a whole outburst telling us the library was closed. She started grabbing her stuff in a frustrated way. I explained to her that my daughter and I were waiting to use the printer. She started loud talking my daughter about how much money to put in the printer and to hurry up and get her change! I was just speaking so highly of this library, now I feel totally...
