The view from street belies the delightful new complex of 3 city buildings....city hall, the police station and the new public library.

The library is worth a visit. Clean, quiet and modern , it is a far cry from the 60 or so year old building that was the old library. The book collection is smaller but the books are in good shape. Plenty of seating and the ceilings are high. There are numerous study areas for other activities.

The plaza outside the building is bright, spacious and quiet. Perhaps the adjacent police station deters bad behavior that you might see in such a setting.
