Comments: New as of 2025 and gorgeous. Bright, open, and airy with wall-sized windows letting in tons of natural light. The second floor has a great views of the surrounding areas, plenty of seating with tons of outlets, and a good number of study rooms if you need quiet focus or a spot to take calls.

You’ll see a lot of remote workers camped out on the second floor, while the first floor is more kid-focused, which works out perfectly. There’s plenty of space for everyone to enjoy without being on top of each other. Just an all-around beautiful library.
