Dropped in to check out the renovation and get some writing in. You can see the difference in comparison to the 'old' Woodson. The place seemed modernized, and I saw a couple of classes being held for community members. One was a home buying class I think. Thumbs up there. I was very impressed seeing that and even more impressed with the class being full. The chairs...gotta talk about them. The old school wooden chairs are not comfortable. Surprised that they went with those vs something with a little cushion. One thing I wasn't a fan of was the constant patrolling of security. I get you wanna keep distractions and nonsense to a minimum, but it got to a point to where I felt I was being watched just for working on my laptop. The security walking with the radio volume up is a distraction too. The area has a open design, so you can get away with a central post and the use of cameras. That's probably my biggest complaint, but I'd rather have that as a complaint vs a dirty place with unprofessional staff. I'll be back for sure. We have a great regional library on the south side.
