Nice place to be reading or working. I enjoyed so much the variety of books they have. Definitely I want to comeback to read some of the interesting books they have

Friendly staff. Clean space with wifi. There’re books in both English and Spanish. Around ten computers are for both adults and children using. There’s plugs for charging in one side of reading areas.

Incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful librarians (and assistants)! I've been to this location quite a few times; overall, it is a nice quiet place to read and study. 😊 Most people that come into this location are respectful of using this space as intended: a library/study/research space. And most adult (and teenage) clients are quite considerate of the people around them and do not create an unpleasant or otherwise uncomfortable atmosphere by making loud and unnecessary noise such as taking phone calls; not using headphones with their laptops, cell phones, and other devices; having personal conversations; and/or allowing their children to run around screaming like it's their own home. The wifi here is excellent. There are lots of computers and tables/chairs with outlets that allow for ample personal space. I also very much appreciate that this location is very clean and well-maintained; has an excellent selection of non-fiction, fiction, graphic novels and manga; has community rooms downstairs; has excellent lighting; and maintains a very comfortable temperature despite not being a "new and fancy" building. Definitely a great neighborhood/community library that is safe and welcoming for all people. Thank you. 🫶
