Fabulous fun free place to get out to play and go read. Every type of family fun and friendly events with tons of interactive play an excellent library that understands kids are a bit noisy but never made us feel like we don’t belong. I think the more they ask to go to the Library the more they will get to read. The have a little club house and slide. You can easily loose a kid or two here so it’s a good idea to bring a friend. From a giant table sized iPad and an interactive dance mat to boot, scoot and boogie away any old grey rainy day or place to play. It’s all that and a stem kit that makes it a must go to get them all geared up about books or ticketed out for a nap or the night so you can snuggle up with a good book yourself.

Absolutely the best public library I have ever seen. This includes libraries in downstate IL, SOCAL, NORCAL and NC. Seems that anything is possible to access here. Plus very friendly and actively helpful librarians are present throughout. Some nice remodeling has been done lately. Updated in the last year with better functioning areas. Later: wonderful MakerLab. Ask for Kat or Mike. Laser cut items are available for library members.
