I am amazed at how awesome this country library is. They had built this place to be classy, elegant and to last for 100 yrs. Beautiful artwork adorn the walls. The library is surrounded by ou ak trees. A bike rack that spells the word 'BOOKS' is in front of the cafe. There is a bee garden out by the book return. Sliding glass doors welcome you to a decorative tile floor and wood walls with lighted chandeliers over head. Restroom is immediately to your left. On the right is a display case where they often have silent auctions to raise library funds. I enjoyed the mini quilter's Museum at the entrance. The top main floor is the adult / reference section. There is a cafe , a fire place and a piano for live performances. There is an outside balcony with table and chairs. There are study rooms, beautifully built with windowed doors and rich red wood. They have a genealogy room and a special cabinet housing volumns of ancient books.

The childrens library is down stairs accessible by both stair and elevator. The elevator has a windowed back and my child was delighted with his elevator journey down. The childrens section has 2 brass children reading on a bench with a grand oak tree commanding the center of the room. The children's area is enchanting. They also have an outside pattio with an umbrella, table and chairs for enjoying a good book and the weather of this area. They have a kitchen, multipurpose room, twe en center and a teen center which has their own separate pattio. A fantastic manga collection and weekly teen activities. There are lots of board games too. I love the 'Guess the candy in the jar' game.

Out of town visitors are welcomed. A yearly card fee is $30 for out of towners.

The school drops students off here after school about 3:30pm.

Guest lecturers give their presentations in front of the fireplace upstairs.

The restrooms are very modern with natural brown stone tile, motion activated sinks and towel dispensers. Loved it.

The staff is friendly and helpful. I will come here often.
