Through my past 5 years living in Forest Park, I have seen the library grow in a very impressive way. My life has changed a lot in the last half decade- I was laid off, found a job again, and had my first child with my wife and bought a house. A lot of big decisions and changes a lot of people go through. Anyway, the kids section on the lower level made the transition so much less scary. My wife and I bring our daughter to their storytimes regularly, and there is no shortage of great books and DVDs to help entertain and educate her. The same can be said for the main floor. The selection of books is so good and I can order stuff from other libraries that I want too, that will come pretty quickly. I haven't been to many programs but I hope we can someday. I have only had one bad experience here but that is just that the Mens restrooms are kind of rough, but that isn't the library's fault.

The taxes in OP and RF are what made us decide to come to Forest Park. At first we worried we wouldn't get all the groovy stuff they've got, but Forest Park can more than hold a candle. Good work!

I love my library and you should too!
