This is by far the coolest library in the area. It's got that great, old school library vibe and I could hang out and read here all day. I worked at the library when I was a teenager and this is not a situation where you should work in a place you love to hang out. If you like to read, there are a whole lot of distractions. It's also a public place and your boss can't kick your friends out when they show up to visit you while you work so he eventually throws you out. Technology has advanced quite a bit since my days working at the public library and my kids wouldn't have a clue how to use a card catalog.

This is classic library meets the Jetsons. I love being able to search for books on the internet at home and then pop by and pick them up when I get an email that they've arrived. The staff is friendly and helpful and the experience is always great.
