Library is great, I love the study rooms and how they have a limit of 4 hours. Always clean which is nice and lots of resources.
What I don’t understand is who thought it would be a good idea to place a library where people go for quiet time to focus on finishing work, right by the city square where there are concerts that you can hear from over a mile away.

It's like stepping into the future – if the future is incredibly well-lit, spotlessly clean, and has an ACRE of space. Love ❤️ this library!! One can even snag a study room online without brandishing a library card like a secret agent. It's the perfect rainy day...
