I had to update my review. The kids section was so great, it's gotten too crazy there! they had to hire someone to watch kids cause the parents arent watching their own kids
This is one of the biggest and nicest libraries in the area. They have a huge kids area and tons of everything...books, games, CD's, DVDs, etc. You can spend hours here.
The play area in the children's area is so nice. my kids love to play there on rainy days, it's pretty quiet too becasue the kids are in the library. All the parents do a good job of reminding kids to keep the noise level down.
