I was very dissapointed and shocked by the lack of LGBTQ books within the library. I looked for multiple different genres of the books and didn't find a single one. And I also noticed that the library didn't have any books from well know LGBTQ writers. This is quite disturbing knowing that a public space such as this clearly contradicts all the constitution stands for by not allowing for equal freedom to be allowed to read all manner of books regardless of it's sexual derivatives, thus discriminating against an already marginalized group of people.
I absolutely adore this library, I have been coming here since I was a kid. The librarians are lovely, the book selection is never ending, they always getting in new books, and who doesn't love the smell of new books?!? There is always classes, workshops and events taking place there. And so much love radiates from there. I would definitely recommend
My daughter and I visit often. Always friendly helpful staff. On my most recent visit the air-conditioners werent working. It's stuffy and not comfortable at all. I feel sorry for the employees having to work in that heat. The department should really fix it.
I'm very much happy and grateful for this facility. The staff makes you feel at home, very helpful, always respectful and they always ensure that u helped and assisted, walking out feeling very important and special.
Great place for reading and picking up great material. So be inspired to come to the library and read. Internet available.
Great service
Good stuff
