It’s a nice enough little local library, and the staff are usually friendly, but it has a few issues. The computers aren’t set up very well, the system clocks are all wrong and they log you out after an hour even if there are other computers free (you do get an hour extension if the place is completely empty, but not if there’s only a few other free ones) so you need to make sure you save your work regularly as you don’t get a chance to do so at the end of your hour. There’s a two hour daily limit on computer use and you have to take it over three sessions — 60 minutes, 40 minutes and 20 minutes which can really get in the way.
There’s no great spaces to sit and study — it’s not really that kind of library — and there’s no scanning facilities even though they have a big multifunction copier that could easily be set up to scan.

This place is culture central. My favorite is when crazy people from the street come in and start yelling. You will probably be too distracted by all the unique characters to get any reading done! Free entertainment though!

I have recently rediscovered my love for the local library and so this branch, only 3 blocks from my apartment is my new favorite place to go after work. They are open late on Mondays and Wednesdays.
I doubt I’ll be back at the movie rental places any time soon because you can take out 6 movies at a time for 2 weeks! all free, free, free!
Books are cool too.
The librarians are all very kind and helpful.
I also like the westover hills branch.
