I adore this library! The selection of books is great, although one can tell they are still building their collection (it has only been open a year). The librarians are so friendly and helpful. I took 3 books out and am easily able to make a book requests online. I love that the library is nestled amongst the trees so you get a beautiful view at every table you sit at, the space is very tranquil.

This is my favorite library in the area. My little and I love storytime and the librarians are very kind and engaging. They even remember my Little's name.

We love how close this is to us! Large selection of board books for littles. Shelves are still a bit empty due to how new it is but it will fill in. The checkout process is super easy and quick. The website for requesting books is very user friendly and quick turnaround. The staff was so helpful with getting us setup with library cards and giving us a quick orientation. We love this location!

Lacking a good selection of books for children. Hopefully this is due to it being brand new. The story time for children was done well but a suggestion is bringing toys out afterward and playing music so the children can stay and play as advertised on the website. Lastly, the “children’s section” has very little to offer for kids. Nothing for them to interact with outside of books. I came from an area in the country where our libraries had large sections for young children to learn and play. They had play structures, train/ car tables, bean bag chairs, puzzles, dramatic play areas with play food, puppets/ dress up, etc. reading is not the only way children can learn! I hope this library will take some suggestions and elevate their children’s area.
