    I looked through the reviews and pictures prior to visiting and since there were no recent reviews…read moreI was not sure if it was going to look the same. I gave them a visit and I was impressed! The staff were helpful and friendly, there were several areas to sit and study (despite the size of the library), it was clean and well kept, furniture was clean, several computer stations, they have a quiet room and rooms to reserve for groups. I have visited several times and have not been disappointed.

    I was passing through and needed to stop somewhere to get some work done. I googled the nearest…read morelibrary and this is where I ended up. Looked good when I first arrived. I enjoy small local libraries. Was well kept and good. I sat and began working. Unfortunately, I guess there was a shift change or something because within 15min the place became very loud and very active. The activity was fine but the loudness was odd. The woman employee at the front desk set the tone for that and everyone began interacting and speaking loudly. Endless flow of people engaging and talking with raised volume in the workspace. Most who were working and sitting in that area got up and left, which makes sense. When things slowed down with patrons no longer comign up to the main desk, the woman up front engaged other colleagues in conversation and was walking around the space and continued to speak as if it was her living room - loudly. And the other patrons who I guess didn't care about quiet took her lead and began using their outside voices. I tried to ignore it and continued working but the loud voices were super irritating and when the loud laughter started that was it. Quite unfortunate for a small community library. It is a cute place and my experience started great but the culture turned that late morning into early afternoon and was really bad. It was less a library environment and more like an active office space with people talking to each other across the room.
