★★★★★ 5.0 Susan P · Feb 2022

Lots of space in the kids section, great selections for juveniles and cool displays. The stacks are labeled by categories and call numbers, so it's easy to navigate. The staff is helpful. There's a wide variety of books for sale and lots of community resources on display.

Nice, smaller sized library. The natural lighting inside makes it a very pleasant and motivating space to get some work done in. The staff is always super pleasant. Four stars just because there aren't many outlets, and it can get pretty noisy inside at times (noise levels are not really enforced here it seems). Also, this is a little weird, but every time I go here it seems like there are flies everywhere. I wish they would do something about it, as it makes it very hard to concentrate, and is kind of gross.
