My last library was.... Not great. Mostly because of the town it was in, not the librarians.

New one is amazing - 3d printer, maker classes, painting classes, museums and multiple online educational tools for kids....

Even a play area for under 8 with puzzles and nooks for them to read in. The one in town when I was a kid is bigger, and had a larger nonfiction/adult section by far, but this one is amazing for the teens and under, even graphic novels, mangas, etc available. I'm glad my kids have this library available to them.

Edit: And just to mention, youngest is too little to read yet but enjoys the learning play there. Oldest is reading 2 books between each trip, 2-3 times a week. Such a great resource, wish it was as good everywhere.
