Touted as a wonderful new library, this place doesn't know what it wants to be, but it is certainly NOT worthy of being called a library. The space is open, airy has community spaces, a maker space, a cafe, a used bookstore, and, oh yeah, it does have a few books, too. The staff are always "busy" and tend to not be helpful and have, in my experience, been rude or condescending. The maker space is nice, but the reservation system is messed up and gaining access is difficult (see "staff are rude and not helpful" above). It seems Olathe wanted to copy Johnson County Library's design, but they failed miserably. the JoCo central library is great and meets both library and community needs - the Olathe one is just despicable. Oh, and the parking arrangement is the worst parking lot design I've ever seen. Overall, this is just an abysmal waste of time & money.
