  • "Какая прекрасная атмосфера здесь"

    "Absolutely beautiful building"

    "Bright, fresh and clean with very helpful, jovial and friendly staff"

    "The library was clean but there was this older man constantly talking loud, bothering the staff & others that were trying to concentrate! He even had an open container of coffee, in which he spilled all over the desk! He was sitting one seat over from me, then there were a few younger people at the next table talking loud, kids running & they were answering their cellphones we're not on silent, they answered & was also talking loud! And not one staff member said or did anything! I will not be going back to that location"

Какая прекрасная атмосфера здесь. Детям очень очень нравится. Мы с детьми регулярно посещаем эту библиотеку, берем литературу для чтения домой. Часто бывает так что сидим в библиотеке и читаем не покидая библиотеку. В тишине и приятной обстановке. Пока наш младший играет в игральной.Библиотека помогает человеку осознать свою духовную сущность. Библиотека была и будет своеобразным средоточием ✏️ информационных материалов, местом, где можно узнать много интересного и полезного. Не каждый может разобраться, какая именно информация ему нужна для досуга, какой жанр литературы больше по вкусу. Иногда для того, чтобы разобраться в этом, приходится поверхностно изучить несколько литературных источников. Библиотека для этого предоставляет неограниченные возможности. Процесс поиска нужной книги может и должен приносить удовольствие. Перелистывая страницы, человек начинает осмысливать, какая информация ему нужна. Понравившуюся книгу забирают домой, где в спокойной обстановке прочитывают, затем перечитывают особенно понравившиеся моменты. При написании дипломной или курсовой работы учащимся проще и удобнее обратиться к услугам библиотеки. В интернете не всегда можно найти именно ту информацию, которая необходима.

Absolutely beautiful building. All the modern conveniences that you could want for personal reading, usiness meetings, literary browsing. This is my 1st visit to this location, and I was thoroughly impressed! Ample parking, nice, inviting staff, quiet areas for laptop work, excellent design layout, and very clean bathrooms. The best part for me was the large unobstructed windows EVERYWHERE!!!!The view from inside was super nice. It's definitely one of the BEST library/meeting environments I have seen in a long time. ANOTHER exceptional visit today 7/3/2023. This is such an inviting place, and DJ was the absolute BEST!!!

Bright, fresh and clean with very helpful, jovial and friendly staff. Took only a moment to get a library card on plastic (I'd previously created an account on the website) and they give you a wallet card and key tag (bring your ID!). Great natural lighting and lots of little reading nooks, tables w/outlets for your electronics, plenty of private study rooms (call ahead to reserve) and a clean restroom. We found all kinds of good things, including books/cds/blu-ray/DVD/books on tape/Manga etc. Lots of free/kid friendly events on their calendar, as well as events for adults. So glad to have this branch close to home!

The new library is. Nice. And comfortable. But parking sucks. Did not think. Out parking space. Not enough parking have to waste gas. Riding around. Before you get a spot. No one thought this out. Before trying to to close the place off you dont need a pond. You need more parking spots not grass. Just ashame use the space that I'd given you could have. 3 more lots on this property but. Trying to pocket money. People will stop coming if you dont have the space to accommodate the traffic. Going back to pike.

Wonderful library. Lots of private rooms for studying. Lots of open space to sit and do work. I really enjoy the seating areas with the outdoor viewing spaces. There are a lot of opportunities to bring the outdoors inside. I also enjoyed the natural lighting. It was built using timber from the trees removed to build the space. The whole building is energy efficient and strives to cut carbon emissions. This library is a great addition to the neighborhood and very much needed in the area.

  • Ravi Gowda

Was cussed out while on an important phone call, had my stuff moved out of a conference room without my consent, and was provoked to fight when confronting the situation. Never have I ever seen this type of behavior in a public library. I should have recorded the ordeal and submitted it to the state. Please avoid this library. There are several other branches that employ professional staff. I just wish we had better public services in this area. Otherwise it is a nice library.

  • Kareema Boykin

This wonderful new library is awesome. Yes it's nice, beautiful teen and children area, more computers and staff......more more more. Yes it's awesome and staff deserved an updated library with more amenities but let's not forget it was moved OUT of the Flanner House Community Center. Yes it's on the bus line but how many people in the Flanner House area still have access to this library wonderful library? I do not like it being moved out of the "neighborhood".

  • Quinton Gaston

I went in to use the printing service, I had information on my phone which needed printing. However, unaware of technological updates at the library, I sought assistance. A young and very handsome black librarian assisted me.

  • Tara Robinson

I love the catalog of books and movies. I can usually find what I'm looking for, If not the staff is helpful in locating or having an item reserved for me. It's a great location and a beautiful building. So glad it's here!!!

  • Haolin Li

Great place for working, reading and team meetings, very clean and quiet. Especially liked how the windows are designed, allows a good amount of natural light, gives the library a vibrant atmosphere.

  • A

Nice atmosphere but there are a few rude employees there. In particular one lady continously makes rude comments without prompting on two occasions we have been there. Most staff extremely helpful.

  • Fall Lara

They normally have excuse for people use a study room. For example when I try Friday August 11 to use a study room, they have seven study room and six are empty. Please serve better your community.

  • Gus powell

  • Makaylia M

Love the new library! The inside is very nice and books are easy to find in a smaller library. Its coming along well, and they added more parking. The staff are also very nice.

  • Tim Doak

It is a very nice clean, newer library with rooms for young children and teenagers. The materials are well organized. The neighborhoods near this library are not aging well.

  • RealtorClaireAnne Aikman

Cute. Fresh design. Decent selection ... even en Español) I love all the spaces one can plug in and work. (didn't take many interior pics. .was pretty crowded)

  • Mrz CPR

Great place to bring your children. The staff are very helpful. Very clean and very quiet. I will definitely come here to read and relax when I need me time.

  • Somto Kizor

Aesthetically cool, looks good. Very noisy though and this defeats the purpose of leaving home to study fairly quietly! And no, it’s not construction noise.

  • Adam Jacobs

We really appreciate this nice new library in the neighborhood. It has a nice separate kids area, staff are friendly, Saturdays are quiet and not too busy.

At the time was open only for up to 60 minutes of computer use and curbside pickup but the staff was super awesome and friendly. Loved my brief visit!

Great! Staff was vigilant about number of people inside and masks were required. Had to wait outside for approx. 5 min. No problem, everyone so nice.

  • Yuehong Li

Great place. Only hope it could close later on Wednesday, Thursday, and Fridays. I have a high school kid needs to do schoolwork in a library.
