The adult sections of the library are quite impressive. There are comfortable chairs and good lighting throughout the different areas. Shelving is spaced well, providing the library with a spacious feel. When entering the main lobby on the right side there is an attractive hardwood and glass staircase leading to the mezzanine floor and the Periodical Reading Lounge. Other adult areas can be found on the second and third floors. There are various collections for specialized interests like the Business Center and the Biotech Center (see links in blog for additional information).
Some of the activities the Library sponsors are a book discussion group, Films@the Library, Biotechnology and Health lectures, and even concerts. There is also JobSeekers@Your Library. Volunteers are available to help patrons with job hunting and applying for jobs. These experienced volunteers have HR backgrounds.
As in most libraries, their website offers links to suggested reading lists. There is even a section on Staff Picks.
One of the great programs offered for both adults and their children is the Families for Literacy. By using group learning activities they improve the literacy of all members of a family. There is even a Bridges newsletter for this program and for the Project Read literacy program. Volunteers are welcome and tutor training workshops are available for interested individuals.
