. . "I LOVE this library and all libraries in general. I've come here far too many times than I have actually \"checked-in\" on Yelp. \n\nThe Lakewood library on Detroit Ave. is clean, big (plenty of tables and chairs to study), and has a variety of books to borrow. I especially love going into the computer lab to use the computers and print. Every library member gets to print 20 free pages to print everyday so that is definitely a nice feature. The pages are only black and white (not colour) so that is slightly a downfall.\n\nI have yet to attend a movie screening and related library events but I will SOON. Overall, you should visit this location.\n\nThe only downside of this library is that I wish I could bring my own bottled water or tea but this library doesn't allow food or drinks inside which is understandable. It is just frustrating that I have to get up off my desk every 10 mins just to sip water from the water fountain. Most libraries that I know of allow you to bring drinks in a closed container but I've been stopped my staff members here for drinking out of my water bottle. \n\nI am normally very careful with my drinks in terms of not spilling it over so I wish there was a way that the Lakewood Library can change this policy. I like to be comfortable as I read a book or study so having water by my side would help. I guess if I plan to be at the library all day then I will attend a school library where snacks and drinks are allowed (depending on the school). \n\nRating: 4 stars"^^ . . "4"^^ . "3"^^ . "2"^^ .
