I judge a library by the people who work there. Example: do they TELL you how to do something or do they SHOW you? I was impressed by their teaching skills in this regard. I wanted to know how to use their computer printer, one of them csme from behind tje counter, took mr over and SHOWED me how to use it. Wow. THAT is great customer service! When I went to gey my library card, they explained everything it allowed, showed me around the library, how to log onto the computer and how to check out books. They even told me their hours!! I lovevthis library.
Very professional and helpful in finding me everything I needed.
A pretty good library if you have a toddler/preschooler. Lots of picture books and "I can read" books, plus some toys, stuffed animals, and blocks. Unfortunately the kids area is fairly centrally located so you'll have to keep noise levels down. As older, smaller libraries in SD go, this one is one of the best for kids. But as a kid-friendly library it's not the most quiet. Choose accordingly. There are plenty of quieter less kid-friendly libraries in the area, the closest being north clairemont.
