This library is gorgeous, inside and out. There is so much to the layout and design that makes you feel like you're in a castle from study/computer rooms that feel almost lavish, to the stained glass entrance. Their fiction, non fiction, and childrens selections are good, but what makes this library stand out for me is its selection of DVDs and CDs. There are so many movies they are divided by genre and even sub genre like Biopics, Comic-Based, Oscar Winners, and a fantastic selection of Silent Film. There's so much music you can find great collections of Celtic, Cajun, R&B/Soul, Blues, Jazz, Rock, and Movie Soundtracks. The staff is extremely welcoming and easy to talk to, the location is great, there's nothing not to love about this library!
