Location location location. Being that this place is smack dab next to the soup kitchen and major homeless shelters, this is THE main hangout for homeless people of all stripes. Most people in here are homeless. The computers are always packed by homeless, and sometimes in te school year on warm months you have the teens. Luckily there is a children's area and a teen area and the homeless don't go there. The tough part about this place is that if you aren't used to experiencing mentally ill people it can be a little intimidating in the computer lab. I'm not kidding. People often will talk to imaginary people or themselves or yell at the computer, and there are regulars here who have been doing this day in and day out for years.
As for the actual LIBRARY part. It's good, they have books, lots. And the computer and internet access is fair. you can even rent a laptop.
