No coffee allowed. Not usually a problem except that I looked around at the entrance before I even tried to go in and there weren't any signs l that I could see posted notifying people of this, so the first you hear of it is when you walk inside, thinking it's fine, and are abruptly stopped by the librarian and told that you need to leave. Will check around later to see if there was one posted somewhere that I missed; if there is, I'll remove this review. I'm a bit steamed, though.

Maybe the library is a great place, otherwise? I wouldn't know; getting told to leave for the coffee was my first experience with the place. If you take anything from this review, it's this; don't plan on grabing a coffee from one of the nearby stores and going there to study. You'll be told, politely but abruptly, that you need to go back outside. The low review score is mainly because I think they should at least have the courtesy to leave a small notice out front.

For the rest of what the library is like, I'm sure the other reviewers have good information.
