You make an appointment on line so everyone shows up during a particular time frame, everyone at this location is very friendly, considering they are dealing with scared and intimidated kids. The entire process is well organized and moves quick. Parents get to wait for their child in a parents waiting room. The kids walk out of the testing room across the hall from parents waiting area teary eyed or with a big smile! Great place! We will definitely return here with the last one in 5 years.

Parking is available behind the town hall/police station, and the actual building is on the street but if you're coming from the right, is across a split road. My dog and I drove around for quite a while before this dawned on me.

They encourage the children to borrow books and to be involved in the scanning and stamping process. This is wonderful for the children, who are invariably very happy and excited. We take our granddaughters to "Story time" on Mondays at 2.15. Kerry is a very skilled storyteller and she is so good with all the children. After the story, the children do some painting, which they all love. We are very grateful for this lovely facility.

I just saw for a second time the brutal murder of the Petit Family. I worked law enforcement and…read moreit's easy to blame all the members of the police department that were working that day but there was a specific order by the Chief of Police to NOT enter the home until he got there, a huge mistake by a micro managing police chief and by not allowing those officers on scene to make a determination to enter the residence of the victims, this could have had a much happier ending. We don't know what the officers on scene would have done, because of that police chiefs order, but just being on scene they could assess the situation better than the chief who was on the way to the crime scene. There was no reason to wait for the police chief when you have Sergeants and Lieutenants, that are subordinates to make that call. Cleary that delay prevented us from ever knowing what the outcome would have been if the order wasn't given and you had a team of officers brave enough to kick in the front door and possibly save that beautiful family. As it turned out the two suspects weren't even armed with guns and an entry could have easily resulted in an arrest and that beautiful family saved. But because the Chief gave an order that lost precious time during which these 3 beautiful women were killed and the house set on fire, we will never know. If the police had the house surrounded, how were the suspects even allowed to enter a vehicle in the driveway and almost get away, only ending after the family vehicle that they stole became disabled after crashing into several police cars. Then during a police press conference afterwards the Chief attempted to lie about the time line saying that the house was fully engulfed in flames when the first officers arrived, which was far from the truth and an attempt to save the chief from his awful decision making. These criminals set the fire only after they saw the police surrounding the home and again if the police were allowed to enter the home, the murders of these three beautiful woman probably would have been prevented and the unarmed suspects taken into custody. Its just a shame and to be honest, this tragedy falls squarely on the police chief who made that terrible decision to stand down and wait for him to arrive. He will have to look at himself in the mirror for the rest of his life. I sure hope he retired or was force out after this tragic incident.
