Went in tonight to return a book, they have recently moved their book return inside the establishment to a different area. I put my books where they used to be put to be returned not knowing they had moved it, and was rudely snapped at with "actually that is NOT where the books are supposed to go"- as if I was supposed to know they moved it when there is no sign anywhere. This woman who said this has always been very rude to me, when I have always been kind to her, and today I was just not okay with it and wanted to share. Would love to be able to go to my local library with kind and friendly people and just check out books and mind my business, but I don't feel I will be back as I don't feel welcome.

Beautiful, quiet, and great views of a pond full of ducks. The alarm goes off frequently. Just people returning their books. The lights blink incessantly. Almost musically. Rythmically.

We love coming here. If you take the time to get to know the librarians it will sweeten your experience. There are so many activities and programs going on that you're sure to find something you would like for your children, self, or family to participate in. We spend a lot of time at the library and take advantage of what it has to offer. There are even ebooks, online movie\show access, music, and magazine borrowing!

Very quiet, relaxed, and convenient, like a library should be. Never been in the children's section, but the rest of their book and audiobook collections seem decent (plenty of sci-fis, romances, thrillers, etc., but I'm more interested in the less popular, older classics), their music and video collections contain a wide variety choices, the staff is friendly and helpful, and they seem to be doing a lot of community outreach programs. They even have a self service DOT driver's license update booth. Warning: the alarm may go off when you return your stuff whether it's overdue or not.
