I'm also glad that they DO allow homeless people to come in and use this place too. BTW, there is another actual homeless day shelter nearby. So, the homeless HUMANS you are referring to are actually using their minds and enjoying the free resources like all of us. WOW, what a concept.
They have a great selection of books as well as media. If something is not physically there they can order it for you and alert you when you item is there.
Librarians are extremely patient with my inane and pretty dumb questions at times. Thank you!
I love this library! People with problems with homeless people shouldn't be so quick to judge. The homeless are greatly misunderstood. I've been homeless at times in my life. Recently in fact.
If they don't have a certain title, you can request it, which I have. They order them too. The system works!
I discovered a few months ago, you can also rent movies. New releases. The library is one of my own personal most exciting discoveries in a long time.
**Be sure to bring earplugs!**
The private study rooms are amazing to study in, however, even if you go into one of these rooms you still can't get away from all the kids screaming. Kids scream and run around this place like you wouldn't believe. Every time I'm here it's like this. I thought a library was suppose to be quiet. I'm listing to kids scream right now as I type this....
The library itself is great. It's small and gets the job done. It's patrons however, are not. About 80% of the people here just come in and hang out for the a/C. Some parents drop off their kids and leave them unsupervised for hours at a time while they go run errands, take a nap, look for today's fix, etc. This places' management should grow a set and get rid of the loiterers. As of now, this is more of a really nice homeless shelter with free Wi-Fi and wierd paper things on shelves, than a library.
Nice and bright natural light and always someone available to help
I am slowly discovering all of the wonders of a modern day library. Books that you don't have to store in your home. Online reservations and even a drive-thru for us lazy Americans.
