Peaceful and quiet when you need it. Good place to read and relax

I like the small space of this library but one particular staff member, an older white woman with long white hair is the loudest worker I have ever heard. She threw books into the bookshelves for reshelving and was so loud I couldn't believe it. She slammed books onto the floor. It was bizarre. To be that loud in a library and she was a staff member. Is there any reason for this? I've worked at a university library before and you can be quiet if you try. It was like she was trying to be as loud as possible and it was very aggravating. Especially when you're trying to concentrate. Someone above her needs to have a word with her. Cause for a staff member to act like that in a library is unacceptable.

Magazines were removed but other libraries have magazines

The staff is hospitable but the space is not. Small book selection, but that's just because of it's small size. One seat in the place with a power outlet within reach. Every table has sharp edges to discourage leaning against it.

Amazing community library with the friendliest staff! We’ve come here for years for story times with Mrs. Monica and Ms. Beverly, and can’t wait for those to return. It’s never crowded, especially now with Express Service, so I feel extremely safe coming in to check out books.
