Great library, friendly staff

Margaret de Rouleaux

This is a great library in the heart of a lovely community. The programs are terrific ranging from cultural events to learning experiences for adults and children; games to knitting; films to musical programs - and, of course the usual library fare: books, books, and more books. The staff are ever helpful and the surroundings pleasant

Very good collection for a small library. The staff is super friendly and helpful. They make you feel that solving your problem or finding your info is the most important thing they have to do.

this is a nice clean local puplic library with a decent used book section (most titles are only $.50 - $2) & a fantastic bi-annual book sale

I've taken my kids to a few programs here. The children's librarian is great, and the entire staff is helpful! Nice selection of books, too.

Don't expect to come here to do any sort of studying...there is never a moments peace and I've been there at all different hours of the day. From screaming kids to game playing (right next to the study section!). It's impossible to concentrate! Aside from that, the books for the kids are haphazardly thrown into a large set of bins-yes they are alphabetized, but that's about it as far as categorizing goes! So if your son wants to read a book about dinosaurs...good luck! The toddler book section is slim at best-tops 20 books! Do yourself a favor and find a real library if you need one for any purpose other than socializing.

I agree with others that the children's section can be very noisy. However, the staff can be heard speaking in loud voices for far across the library so they are distracting also. The restriction on WIFI usage to members only seems stupid. The hours are very restricted, especially on the weekends when people who work might want to go there. 9 am to 10 pm every day of the week would give more people the opportunity to use it.

Great library. Easy overnight return box outside, a bike rack, benches out front, welcoming entrance, hours clearly displayed in the window. When you walk in there is an area that houses free books to have, when you walk into the library the books that have been placed on hold. Theres a hallway of conference rooms. There is a large helpdesk, computers to use and lots of tables and chairs, there are several self check out sections. A huge selection of books for children, young kids, and a teen sitting area. Lots of DVDs and books on cd.

This is the best library around. I used to come here all the time to get work done. It even served as my defacto office for a couple weeks.

Most of the experience is very nice, library people are friendly and environment is clean and quiet. I really appreciate for all the help from this nice library. But last week a lady at customer service seems did not help us at all. My 4 year old took some books and keep asking :may I borrow the book please? (He said PLEASE since I teach him if he be nice and then people will treat him nicely too) this lady just ignored him but busy with some book scan . And we standing there for a long time she just left without saying anything. I understand she's busy and we have to wait.no problem. But I don't understand why she doesn't wanna answer to a little kid who just wanna borrow the books. My little one keeps asking: why she doesn't wanna talking to me? Why?...what can I say??? (My son asked for three times and even the other lady at next reception table can hear us, she really wanna help but she's busy with other customers) I write email to library after the day but no response.

Staff are very nice and helpful. I wish there was some distinguished isolation for the kids/play area, to keep the noise level down also the kids can enjoy their space freely.
