Lovely new high tech library! I LOVE the quiet reading room. Johnson County Libraries need to take note of this and in future renovations add this to their libraries. The little cafe and makers room are awesome additions in the library. For a new modern library this offers some softer and warmer features in its design, such as focused lighting on bookshelves rather than harsh overhead fluorescent lighting on the ceiling. The seating/chairs are covered in fabric rather than the plastic/pleather materials offered at JOCO Libraries. The fireplace wall is warm and inviting and a nice architectural feature. They even offer an outdoor courtyard, though it s much too cold to be out there on this visit.

Overall I am greatly impressed with this library. I suppose the only drawback is that it seems to be geared more towards children. There are certainly adult features like the quiet room, but sadly so many libraries today lose sight of the fact that many adults need and want to use libraries. I wish the reference section was a bit bigger and that they offered a specific genealogy section.
