Excellent library. Here's why:
1. There's a cafe. Other public libraries have Keurig machines where you pay $1 for a styrafoam cup of coffee. Urbana Free Library has an actual coffee shop where you can get espresso drinks, brewed coffee, pastries (including GIGANTIC brownies), and pre-made sandwiches.
2. Their DVD section is huge, and nicely organized. Includes a great selection of full seasons of various TV shows. Including Daria. Woo!
3. The really important part: they have great books. Something in the New Books area always catches my eye. Great selection of sci-fi novels (including an almost comprehensive collection of Philip K Dick novels) and general fiction.
4. Graphic novels. They have them. Lots of them. Honestly, more than I've seen at any other library. And they have an excellent, varied selection, ranging from mainstream Marvel to underground comix printed by Fantagraphics and other smaller presses. Seriously, amazing.
5. The staff are helpful...and plentiful! There are plenty of library staff and if you need help with something, you're sure to find someone who can help you without having to wait in line forever.
6. It's an overall lovely place. You will feel happier the moment you walk in the door.
