This will definitely help with my desire to keep current on technologies needed for my job. I love our library but I sometime get jealous when I visit other libraries and see what technologies and other accoutrements they have that I wish our library had. Unfortunately, the masses of our community can't spare a weekly coffee run for that to happen so we make do with what we have. The staff is always helpful and one usually get you what they need within a few days if the library itself does not carry it. And, like one of the other reviewers mentioned, they always have fun activities planned to encourage both kids and adults to visit the library more often. Keep up the good work!

It's where I learned to get lost in the wonder of books and the joy of learning. The current library is beautifully designed and thoughtfully organized, with what feels like every book imaginable at your fingertips. Beyond the space itself, the people who work here are truly exceptional - some of the kindest, most caring individuals you could hope to meet. Now that I live in NYC, I love bringing my kids here whenever we visit. It's always my very first stop after landing at the airport. This library isn't just a building--it's a community treasure.

I recently visited and volunteered for their "May the 4th Be With You" event. This event was so well branded and organized, I wished more families attended. It was a light library day, but the staff and volunteers went above and beyond to deliver a fun Star Wars themed experience for children and adults alike. The services offered by this library today are vast and I even got a nice look at their Mobile library unit outside. The free computer use area seemed very busy and they also have rooms you can use for study groups and meetings.
