New library "looks" good but is not as functional as the old one. Books are not labeled by category, so good luck finding what you need. Sofa chairs are uncomfortable. Working tables are too close to the entrance so there's no privacy for working. Children's area is nice but librarian is not too friendly with the kids. Also, for the amount of money spent on renovating the children's room, there should be classes and activities for them (very limited calendar of activities). In addition, library cards expire every year, so every year, you need to go back with ID/proof of address, etc. Librarians and staff seem inflexible..and they are pretty loud. If you want a quiet place to work, this is not it, unless you go into the quiet room in the back! Overall, renovations and new library is a big let down.

All the hobos(old people) get really pissed off easily.

Would be no stars if that was an option:(

Just redone, very nice. Spacious and a great quiet room.

Disgusting

Not only that but the brand new library is not handicapped accessible! Maybe they should have spent some of the money on putting in automatic doors and not adding two heavy doors to the children's section. :(

I have a problem with my library card so I've used my husband's many times. Yesterday was there with my son and my 4 year old. We spent a lot of time picking books only to be told by two really mean librarians that we can't take out books with his card!!

Great staff.

horrible experience!! brought my severely disabled son many times there. He requires 24/7 nursing care and we have no nurse right now. It took us 3 hours to get out of the house.
