The central library is all brand new and clean, for now. Spacious, probably 30 or 40 computers to use on two floors from 30 min to 2 hours. There's a tiny cafe area, so far I just like the cookies. I'll walk a block or two on State street or Barriques on W. Wash to get a good latte or tea.
Plenty of seating and outlets to charge my phone. But, the seating is not comfortable. Not really.
The magazine section needs work. It's quite sparse. I like the self check outs, plenty of them around, which is faster than standing in line at circulation counters while one person monopolizes their time for 15 minutes a piece. They are slow! So bless the library gods for the self checkouts.
As before, many of the city homeless hang out here and therefore, police officers and security staff patrol the place. Pretty much gives the place a non library vibe. The other branches are carpeted and quieter.
