I come to this library primarily to use the study rooms which are nice, spacious and comfortable. They have a white board inside of them as well. My favorite part of this library is the display of African American baseball artifacts on multiple levels. It shows how important, valuable and the great contribution African Americans players made to the sport of baseball. Park on the garage level.....maybe on floor 3 of the garage which had a small bridge to enter the library directly. Also, The community college shares the upper floors of this library as well which includes larger study rooms and an entire computer lab. The staff is really helpful as well. Will definitely be back time and time again

It's a bit of a drive for us, but this mom was so enthusiastic about the library we decided to try it out - and I'm so glad we did. There were so many toys that kept my twin toddlers entertained for about 90 mins - they didn't want to leave :) There was a little grocery store, a toy train set, magnetic letters, legos, cars and a wooden animal set. The babies were busy. The place is clean, staff is so nice and there was a little coloring area we didn't even get a chance to make it to. It's 25 mins away for us and totally worth the drive!

I had been purchasing books online through thrift retailers, but a friend suggested borrowing them from the library instead to save money. After browsing the library's website, I was pleasantly surprised to find a wide selection of newly released memoirs available. I'm now saving a significant amount, and the three-week borrowing period is generous--especially with the option to renew if there are no holds. The library itself is spacious, bright, and very welcoming. While I haven't fully explored it yet, it appears to have dedicated areas for children and teens. In addition to books, I noticed they offer DVDs and have far more computers than I remember from the library I used to visit in Montgomery County decades ago. The staff I interacted with while setting up my library account and locating newly released memoirs were both knowledgeable and friendly, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I also appreciate the convenient exterior features, including a book drop located right out front and a parking lot with an awning that provides coverage for cars. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with what this library has to offer and the welcoming service I've received so far.

The older part of the library is a building that was the first school. There is a modernized addition to that historic building to hold the actual books and computers. The quiet room is okay, but because it's located in the older building you can hear people walking around upstairs and anyone going up or down the stairs...it can be annoying at times! They have about 20 or so computers to log into. Free wi-do of course. The staff is very helpful, friendly, and will try their best to answer any of your questions.

Its one of the more larger libraries in MOCO. I was looking…read morefor a book... thats a best seller. However all the libraries in the area had long waiting lists. They have Lucky Day shelves. Which means those books with waiting lists sometimes will be there. I bypassed that 4 week waiting period. I came initially to use one of their conference rooms. Which is huge and spacious. They have a discovery room which is a huge sensory play area that I use to take my littles that they absolutely loved. Teachers can also reserve the room during the week for a hour. However use caution. Idk if those toys are sanitized. So make sure your littles dont put it in their mouth. Lots of computers to use, or bring your own laptop. Wifi is good. However their printing is expensive... .15 cents for regular and i think .99 cents for color. They also have classes, especially if you wanna learn how to knit, or play mahjong. They also have reading time for the littles.
