We could not agree more!

Take this past Sunday: Our 1st floor had dozens of people reading in comfortable chairs and others working together on jigsaws or played chess at our games table while our second floor quiet workspaces were filled to capacity and our kids/teens area was off-the-charts busy.
Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people
