Nice library I use to study for my exams in. However, you cannot print what you like even though you pay for it. I was told I should go to Staples and print my study materials because the library has to pay for “ink, toner, and paper.” I told them I was paying for the printing I was doing and want to utilize the library and the resources as I am studying there and obviously I would never print many things at a place for free, but since I was paying for it it shouldn’t be an issue. She kept saying “it’s too much” and declined me from printing anything and told me to go to a corporation. Disappointed as I don’t want to have to leave my study spot in the library to go print at a big corporation and would rather pay the library to let me print but I guess having to order more printing supplies

Really pleasant surprise to discover this place on our way home from the coffee shop. Walked in and applied for a Library Card right away. Three floors of books and a basement for activities. We’ll be back. Thanks!

Everything is fine except when I go to study and use the Internet for my laptop it's really hit and miss on connecting to Internet. I don't know if they try to improve this problem or just don't care. James
