    "This is an unbelievable place"

    "This is a great library branch: never too busy and plenty of places to sit and read a book or do some work"

    "There is nothing more frustrating than driving 30 minutes in traffic and arriving well before their closing time at 6pm just to be told they can’t renew a library card because they already counted the money for the day"

    "Great setup really clean really great service I think they've done a remodel I haven't been here in years but it looks really good the computer setup is still in the same location as you enter it's closer to the far left I didn't get the check much out I went there to print out a few things but next time I'll look around to see about the updates"

I accompanied my son to the Children’s Area. He requested an authorization strip to use the computer. I requested an authorization strip as well because I’m his mother and do not want to leave him in the Children’s area and I’m on the opposite side of the building using the computer. I was told by Cassie the Children’s Librarian that I’m not permitted per policy. I requested to see the policy that does not reflect what she’s stating as policy. This is the first that it was an issue. I requested to see the policy. The policy states, For children 13 and under and their caregivers. I asked her to consider that it is not safe for him to be on the opposite side of the building unattended. She insisted that I am not permitted to use the computer in the area with my son. Needless to say I was not permitted to use what my tax dollars pay for.

This is an unbelievable place. If you love books, this is a great place to hang out. Its not all about books too. If you fancy it, there are yoga, zumba activities to be done, theres a childrens play area as well. The library is free to enter and the membership is also totally free. You can checkout upto a whooping 100 items at a time!!! including books, audiobooks, CDs, DVDs or Playaways. The staff are helpful and pleasant. The checkout process is really smooth with items easily scanned against your membership card. Overall a great place. Definitely recommended.

  • Jody May

This is a great library branch: never too busy and plenty of places to sit and read a book or do some work. Easy to get in and out of and plenty of parking. There's a well kept play area nearby that has an accessible entrance near the parking. Four after hours drop off boxes that you can drive up to are located in the front. The staff here are always available and willing to help.

There is nothing more frustrating than driving 30 minutes in traffic and arriving well before their closing time at 6pm just to be told they can’t renew a library card because they already counted the money for the day. If you don’t close until 6, and it’s only 5:30, why would you close out the registers at 5? Just workers trying to get out early.

  • Scott Wojtas

Quiet, helpful staff, and great resources. Unfortunately, they are closed half the times I’ve tried going. HVAC issues, replacing parking lot, one inch of snow on the ground, ice warning, etc. If I showed up to work as rarely as this library is open I’d be fired. Great library, but as fair warning call them to see if they’re open before going!

  • Lily Jackson

-Great Staff -Great Library Needs improvement on study rooms. They should have a vacant or occupied sign on all the study rooms. I booked a room at 11:45am and went to the restroom. I took my belonging and went to the restroom. I came out and someone else was already in the room. I always communicate with them when I leave. I was disappointed.

  • Andy Mathieu

Drove all the way over here to renew my card. Got there at 530 (they close at 6) only to be told they wouldn’t allow me to pay 10 dollars because they had already pulled all of the cash drawers at 5pm. Told me I’ll have to come back another day. Incredibly unprofessional. It’s not that hard to add 10 dollars to a drawer count.

  • Mayank Tripathi

Its a good experience, picking up the book from library made easy. Just park the car at pickup reversed spots and give a call to the given number and share the details to identify yourself, and someone from library member will being the book for us. Its quick and easy. No waiting. Thanks for the awesome service at NPL.

  • Chelle Watson

The staff is nice but they talk A LOT and very loudly. It sounds like a hair salon in there more than a library. You can hear the hand dryers in the bathroom super loud ever few seconds and the sound echoes through the library. Hard to concentrate.

  • Meenakshi Motwani
