Schimelpfenig Library

Schimelpfenig Library is a gem for book lovers! The staff here is incredibly knowledgeable and always eager to help or offer guidance. One of my favorite things about this branch is their dedication to finding what you need—if a book isn't on their shelves, they will go out of their way to arrange a transfer from another branch for you. Beyond the impressive collection, it’s a perfect spot to get work done. They have reliable computers, printers, and scanners, making it easy to finish assignments or do research. Whether you're looking for your next great read or a quiet place to be productive, this library is a must-visit!

I recently visited this library for an information session on an upcoming school, and I was pleasantly surprised by the experience.

There are plenty of parking space here and there are some steps to go up to the main door and there is a ramp near the handicap parking space. My only complain is there is not enough tree planted area here for some shaded parking space. The first floor is the kids section. and downstairs is the adult section, they have stairs and elevators.

Librarians seemed nice. Good selection of books.

I was too busy to get up and say something, but it was definitely loud enough for the employees to hear too. Didn’t feel like a library at all.
