Don't let your gentle 3-1/2 year old touch the computers for four year olds, or the 'friendly ' kids librarian might kick him off. Great introduction to the library folks.

Lin. Woods

The staff is really friendly and there is free parking in the back. However, the free wi-Fo blocks some portals. It blocked a portal to my website saying it was porno. But overall it's a good spot.

Steve Eley

Note for power geeks: yes, free wi-fi, but they block most ports including SSH and IMAP. So if you need to get remote work done or use a non-Web mail client, you may be constrained.

Hannah Strudwick

Great selection, but ridiculous late fees. If you aren't planning to come back every week, it may be cheaper to buy the book
