It's a beautiful building and has a wonderful children's library, reference librarians, sci-fi and fantasy selection, teen books, dvds, magazines, etc. And a small cafe, too.
I almost never go to the bookstore anymore. I just look stuff up on their online catalog, get it put on hold for me at the front desk, and pick it up. Also, interlibrary loan has saved me tons of money by providing me with so many items.
