| - This is a really great library - don't let the size of the building fool you. Half of it may be taking up by administrative offices - can't believe people would give a lower than 4-5 stars just because they were "deceived" by the size of the building.
Anyways, my little one and I love this library. It's really close to home, which is a plus, and they have conveniently time storytimes for babies and toddlers. These fill up quickly, especially the toddler storytimes, so get there at least 10min early. My little one likes to look through the kids books, picking ones out that interest her, plus she likes to play in the little kids area while I continue to look at books. The librarians who lead the storytimes are really great too. I've done both the baby and the toddler, and they've been varied with different songs, stories, puppets, and lots of songs with motion.
They also have a decent collection of movies - old and new. The newer movies and shows you are better off reserving them online through the library. Sometimes the newer movies won't make it to the shelf for a while because of the waitlist. But, it is a cheaper option compared to renting or streaming a movie.
I also like the new checkout system - you just scan them out yourself, and your card has a PIN number. And of course, my little one likes to return them on their conveyor belt system.
Since I do have a little one, I do travel to the other libraries looking for free toddler activities (which the county libraries do have quite a variety - but you have to be willing to travel) - this is by the far the best library out there as far as good/safe area and cleanliness.
