Arts & Culture

Amazing Children’s Section. They have great toys for the kids to play with, as well as a puppet theater for families to use. The whole Children’s Section is beautiful with wooden beams made to look like trees and a gorgeous mural. Nice selection of books as well. This is a go to spot for when you need something to do with the kids. There is a playground next to the Library as well.
