It has huge collection of books the occupants should respect the privacy of others and members get their choice of books over a mail nice place and to my surprise I saw a few Indian regional language books also

If I could give this library zero stars, I would. My daughter and I have been visiting this library for six years without any issues—until today. We were quietly working on a puzzle together in the teen area, being respectful and keeping to ourselves, when a librarian approached us with an incredibly rude and aggressive attitude. Without any prior warning or reasonable explanation, she demanded we leave and even went as far as to call the police on us—for doing a puzzle. The behavior was shocking, unprofessional, and completely uncalled for. What’s even more frustrating is that the rules here seem to be applied inconsistently and arbitrarily. For years, this was never a problem—so why now? This experience was not only upsetting but also deeply disappointing. It’s clear the staff here nee

I strongly recommend avoiding this location. The staff are consistently rude and seem visibly irritated when asked for assistance. What’s especially frustrating is the double standard with the teen area — teens are allowed to roam freely and be as disruptive as they want throughout the library, yet no one else is allowed in their designated space. It’s completely illogical! If you’re going to create a space specifically for teens, then enforce boundaries on both sides. The rules here are all over the place, and the staff act like they don’t want to be there. It’s clear they prioritize teens over everyone else — kids and adults included. On top of that, the noise level is unbearable due to daily tutoring sessions with loud students. This library lacks order, professionalism, and respect for

Amazing variety of books, I just love the idea of an “only teens” area. Some kids are allowed to just chill there, read, do homework, as long as they’re respectful anything goes. I think that’s very important for kids that like to hang with friends without adults in a safe area. The selection of books that appeal to me really made me happy! Many people complain about the tutoring, but the fact this library is open for anyone is very nice. If you would like peace and quiet, then you can easily borrow the book, and return it. Their staff are very kind. As long as nothing and no one is harmed, and the atmosphere is very calm, safe, and welcoming, then why not?! I really recommend this library. 5/5!

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Lisa Williams · Apr 2019

Very laid back staff. Kids run around like it’s a zoo. Parents don’t control their kids & the staff does absolutely nothing. Teenagers (young adults) are supposed to be in the “teen” room but their not always in there. Teens can come out to be on the computers but adults can’t go into their room?!?!?!? It’s supposed to be a library not a social club. I’m not saying it’s supposed to be completely quiet 🤫, but at least talk in a soft voice. The place is already but so big. You have a lot teacher/students tutoring sessions going on. Who could concentrate with all the distractions going on!?!?!?!!!! Staff just sit behind the desk instead of patrolling patrons & reminding them, that is it a library not a meet, greet & eat session. Go across the street to the pizza place or chinese fo
