Rude and condescending service from both the front desk staff and the reference desk staff. The woman in charge of the reference desk was more interested in feeling superior than offering help to someone who needed it after the library itself made a mistake.

I didn't realize how great this library is until I moved away and none of the libraries in my new area could come close to matching it. Selection is quite broad (both in the library and through their app for ebooks and audio books) for books, movies, and audio. FANTASTIC kids area with many engaging and educational toys; pretty well separated, so you don't have to worry too much about kids wandering off; weekly sing along and weekly story time during the week, with frequent craft activities as well.

The Jones is a wonderful library. It has a wonderful children's area with CCTV. (I am guessing to prevent child abduction)
Upstairs is a special collection area with an area to study.
There is an area with computers and a printer
There are lots of scattered desks and chairs.
They have a chess club for children and other activities.

The basement is very conducive to relaxing and reading. Since there is only one stall, it is hard to use the restroom. I am glad that public libraries are still free and unbiased. I have taken a few good books from the free section. The outdoor garden, in the vicinity of the library, is a good place for coffee and fresh air.

Excellent selection! I always find something good, the librarians are helpful and the kids room is well stocked with new toys through grants. I live the quiet of the downstairs too, it's a great place to read or study. Plus they even have chemistry kits to take out!
