I can’t say any bad words about this library. Nice place to study. If they upgrade their English learners books for adults it will be nice.

The library is gloomy. The lack of natural lights makes this library unpleasant. Also, the arrangement of tables and chairs is not good at all. This library needs a lot of improvement to be a suitable environment for all age groups to enjoy reading and studying. I really like how close is this library to my house, but I don't like the feeling of being sad and uncomfortable inside the library.
