The staff is efficient with quick check in check out they have a great computer section with awesome games for the children. The only reason this isn't five stars is the book collection is very very limited especially foreign language books. Also the in person class offered for younger children and lower elementary children is also very sparse even before Covid. However these shortcomings may simply be due to less people patronizing this branch compared to the downtown branch. It does seem to have a lot less people coming in and the classes they do offer always seem to not be super super well attended. I'm guessing that's just because of the location. They do seem to do everything possible to make it a wonderful library experience and provide value to community without any additional cost for example the staff getting to know their patrons and going out of their way to remember of what type of books the children like and guide the children to those books.

Today was my first time in the library in a long time. For someone who just picked up a new habit…read morein late December and is on a budget, I needed an inexpensive way to continue reading books and preserving time. After looking online for the hours of operation on the weekend, especially a Sunday, and the requirements to get a full-access library card, I took my little family in. We were greeted by a nice young woman at the counter who smiled, welcomed us, and then proceeded to help us get our cards. Library cards are good for two years and then need to be renewed. Throwback to my last library card in 2014, I had to bring in a utility bill to show I was a resident of the county, today I just needed to show my DL. It was quick and easy to get my card. Downstairs are holiday books, audio, DVDs, magazines, fiction, nonfiction, adult graphics and teen graphics, restrooms, an elevator, a sensory room, and a few study rooms. Upstairs are meeting rooms, study rooms, a teenage section, computer access, adolescent books, preschool books, and a room for toddlers. It was a nice relaxing afternoon. With the all-access pass, I get up to 50 books per card, place 20 holds, check out for 21 days, and have 3 automatic renewals. I am also an educator, to get this pass, I had to show my teacher ID, and current paystub, and provide them with the address of my school. With this card, I get up to 100 books per card. Next time, I will use the online card catalog to find books or go in with a plan. Today, I was a bit overwhelmed and wasn't sure where to find titles. What I like is being able to go on the website and request/hold books and when they become available you'll get notified and have a time limit to pick up. I have already added 3 titles to my request list. :)

I do agree it is always spotless inside and the grounds are beautiful. It's actually rather small. They may or may not have the book you are wanting. More than likely they only have one copy of it and you'll be put on a waiting list. Be sure to have patience. They do have a large children's section, but I found the woman who runs the children's section to be very rude and she even spoke to me as if I was a child. It was everything I could do to bite my tongue. She's certainly not the type of woman I would want to be helping my children in a library (or anywhere for that matter). As long as you don't have to deal with her, your children are sure to find many books they will love. I have found the other employees to be pretty friendly and helpful. Just avoid the main woman over the children's section and you should be good. I love the fact they have no limit on the number of books you can check out at a time. This comes in very handy for my husband when he has an assignment due for college and needs a ton of books at a time. We have our own laptops and wifi at home, so we have no need for the computer or internet in the library. Although I do feel sorry for the people who do need this particular service in the library because every time I have been in, all computers have been occupied and there has been a wait time to use one. That stinks for all the people having to wait. I also like the fact you can login online and renew books, etc. Very convenient. There is a book I'm wanting to read and don't want to purchase because it is still only available in hardback. I was put on the list 2 months ago and I was number 5 on the wait list. I called a few days ago and I'm now number 4 on the wait list. Looks like I'm moving up once every 2 months. At this rate, they may have the book for me in about 8 more months. By that time, it'll be available in paperback and I can go purchase it for myself.
