It seems they never clean their desk, which is really disgusting.

I’ve come to this library many times and all the staff were fantastic but today there was a lady at the front desk a little elderly she was so rude and racquet towards me.

The loudest person in the library is the front desk staff. Small library which is fine but not suitable if you want to study or read in a quiet place. Very noisy, mostly because of people who work here.

This is my home library, I usually on pick up holds or pop my head in to checkout books off the shelf but it’s always easy and a good selection. Love TPL 🫶📚

A smaller library, but in my experience, more likely to have good seating available than many of the larger, busier locations. Staff and the security guard on duty are helpful and attentive, and because of the small size of the library they are aware of everything going on and will immediately address issues (such as sources of excess noise). For this reason it is my go-to library when I need to study or do work on my laptop.
