This is where I spent most of my childhood. It’s three floors, very spacious, very clean. Their auditorium is basic and beautiful. The kids sections is cute and put together. The people are helpful and nice. They always have an event going on so I signed up to get emails every now and then. Overall a very nice place filled with beautiful memories
Huge variety of activities available for patrons from story time for the little ones to movie screenings in the auditorium. They also offer specialized equipment to borrow and use if you have a hobby or trade you want to make a career. For example; 3D printers, Music studios, microbusiness center, etc. take a look at the website and view the events calendar to see upcoming activities or stop in and speak with one of the many friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff members, visit a branch near you or the Main Library downtown on Main St,

This library is fantastic. The staff is super helpful and attentive and super duper friendly! A little confusing as far as the layout , being as it's soooo big, but they sure do have a lot of stuff!
Great place to spend some time or take the kids on a rainy day. Very large library. Three floors. And the children's section is separate from the rest of the library.
The staff was very helpful and listened to my son's stories.
Plenty of places to simple crash and dive into a book!
Hadn't been there in a while but I'm glad I went. My daughter's enjoyed themselves so that's enough for me. The staff was helpful and friendly especially the black lady she was very engaging. Not a knock in anyone just giving her her props for incredible customer service.
I went in to the library looking for help on my astrophysics homework and Maddy from science and tech was so helpful! She is the absolute best. I love this library and will absolutely be back!!!!
Staff members always polite and helpful. Clean location. Security on staff available for those that like to disprespect and forget libraries are to be quiet places. Local PD available close as well if the disrepect escalates.
