This Institution is amazing. Ive always felt welcomed and if material was not available I was…read moreassisted to have it secured. Their outreach is to each demographic. As to allowing child level reading regarding empathy, gender, etc., I fully support the Institution. At 63 years-of-age, I realize how much suffering is provided through ignorance on these simple concepts. My skin is not pink or blue. Ive never been only one color, gender, etc. Understanding is not evil - sadly, ignorance is a killer.

This is the most beautiful library I have ever seen. As others have said it is quite literally a…read moremuseum, with something to see (and read) everywhere you look. The architecture and the gardens are incredible. I know this is an overused word, but the gardens are truly magical. There are mini gnomes, fairy gardens, and bee houses tucked in among the flowers. It was so peaceful. I could spend an entire afternoon there.

Also, no electrical outlets available. They DO have reasonable wifi, though. So mixed. Not a good place to work, even temporarily. You'd do better at a cafe or park.

This place was a lifesaver. We were staying in this area for 4 days, and we needed something for…read moreour 3,5 and 7 year olds kids to do. We were going to go on a walk, but it was too cold and windy. We came here on a whim and discovered they had a great kids section upstairs. Granted, this is a small, older library, but they had 2 computers for my kids to play on, a toy room for my youngest and some "I Spy" sheets for them to do. We easily killed a couple of hours here. With really nothing else to do indoors with kids (other than a movie theater), this was a welcome find. The librarians were wonderful as well. You can tell they love their job.

Beautiful new building, lots of glass. Open and bright inside. Large children's area. I didn't see the other areas, because I have a kid... K found what she wanted, admired the fish tank, played in the play areas. Very pleasant all around. We are lucky to have a great library system in Franklin County, often rated one of the best in the nation, with many branches, which are being upgraded regularly. Great staff, large selection, easy to reserve. Not to mention the programs and events and electronic offerings. Honestly, one of the centers of the community and a driver of excellence.

But this new library is incredible. I especially like all the "New Book" areas. Tons of spots for your little ones, your teens or maybe you just want to sit and relax and plug in or unplug.
