Reviews

A nice library with a decent selection of books. My only beef is that there is no place to park. There is a ramp nearby but you have to be in and out within an hour or else they'll charge you. The library also has a neat little bookstore where you can find some interesting things (not just books).

Generally a pretty solid library!  They have quite a wide selection of books, movies, etc., and access to a much larger collection via inter-library loan.  They offer a wide range of activities and programs and make an active effort to be inclusive and welcoming.  Like many others, I will comment that I don't like their summer hours especially--they're closed Sunday and only open a half day Saturday.

Very well-equipped and laid out for a public library. Enjoyed trawling through the many books in the religious sections and finding some gems to look at. Plenty of places to sit and read privately.

The librarians are helpful 
There are variety of programs 
Very inclusive.  The children's area and the teen space are amazing.  It's always full of kids.  
I wish they didn't have video games at the entrance-it is hard for parents whose kids  want to play games.  
My only issue is the number of homeless people using the library as the resting place (in the adult sections) but then that is a problem the City needs to deal with!
