This is an expensive public library that offers a singularly unattractive service...childcare. Few people are there to read books but this taxpayer funded white elephant competes against Blockbuster for DVD rentals and amazon.com so that people can copy CDs. A lot of computer users are surfing the web for things that should be prohibited but the main users of this building are the schoolkids who while away the hours until someone comes and picks them up. Customer service is an oxymoron here as the staff continue their personal conversations while you wait patiently in line and they have a drop box so you can return your media items without bothering them. It is a nice building where they sell more books that they rent in every catergory save for fiction. This provides an excellent example of why public libraries are no longer needed. This from the same town council that subsidises excursions to Atlantic City and shows in New York.
