Man.. I really don't like to write bad reviews but. This place is LOUD. Only good thing about this library is the wifi which is really fast but quite and silence here is non-existent. People here are talking out loud like they're in some kind of jolly rendezvous AND that also includes THE STAFF. Mind you.. I have ADHD and was not only using my headphones but an app called BRAIN.FM to help with it and that didn't help at all even at the highest level of sound I could still here people chattering about. I maybe even heard a dog whimper? Horrible experience. Nobody silencing or telling people to be quite here. Really really bad. Never coming again. DO BETTER.

A very cozy cute little library with a big selection of children’s books! Came here for the celebration and screening of Kiki’s Delivery Service (35th anniversary) and the staff put so much effort into the event, it was wonderful!

I have the best memories of this library. I visited often when school was over. I attended St Phillips Catholic school across the street.

It's a small library so the seating is limited but the free Wi-Fi is sufficient.

Security guard said that I was not allowed to bring my dog in " that dog isn't going inside" no " is that a service animal and what service does it provide you." He is a security at another branch and he has seen my dog before. I have no idea what's going on but seems super sketchy. Stay away violently unproffesional.
