Sorry, but this is a review for the library's parking lot when all of the other parking garages…read morewere full on a busy Saturday in downtown AVL. According to the sign, there were six spaces left and we luckily snagged one. When we came back, we entered through the library, used the bathrooms, and our car was on the same floor.

Pleased to find an open lot, easy entrance and an adorable exterior. Lots of benches, ads for local events and wildflowers. What a library should show, in my opinion.

Overall an excellent experience.
