No longer do librarians wear their hair in a bun and learn 50 ways to say SHHHHHH. Anyone who thinks that hasn't been to a library lately. We provide public computers, gaming tournaments, reading programs for all ages, computer classes, meeting rooms,teen activities and more. We also provide books for those who still enjoy a good read.
