The parking garage is a pain but it's still less expensive then some parking in the surrounding area. Although I wish it wasn't so tight to navigate. Especially at the entrance/exit.
A fantastic addition to our library system! I was stunned by how pretty the building was both inside and out! I'm very glad to see public libraries transitioning from simple libraries to these fantastic mixed use spaces. The government could have sold off this land for a small fortune for more condos or office buildings, but instead they put the time and effort into such a wonderful project.
I'm very excited for the cafe to open.
I've been here about three times a week since it opened. I love the airy spaciousness of the outdoor areas and the interior atrium. I've checked out a chrome book, which was very useful. Now I can't wait for the cafe to open. I'd live here! The bathrooms are large and clean. The roof garden is gorgeous. The only pain is the parking garage. It's like they didn't think about any practical aspect for the design at all. It took 15 minutes to get out one day and it took me to the next pay level, but the guy manning the gate gave me a break so it was all good. Another day I couldn't back out because of the line of cars waiting to get out. Now I just park down the street. A little more walking but hey, it's exercise! I'm in love with the new library and if the amount of people there the days I've been are any indication, tons of other people are in love with it, too.
It is a very nice facility, but if you are trying to use it to study, don't. On all floors there are loud kids running around like its an indoor playground. You can reserve a study room but only for 2 hours once a day. Nice to visit, but not to stay.
An incredible space that went above and beyond my expectations. Ample seating, bright light and beautiful architecture. The outdoor garden area with a view of the water and downtown is fantastic.
Great library! We rode the bus to it for $1.25 and it stopped right in front of the building. It is busy and new, but it is so cozy to just sit and read! The seats are magically comfortable, the kids floor is fun for all. Bring a water bottle, they have fountains to refill them. I want to go back and just wander the floors.
