Yesterday (July 20th) was my first visit to this library. Very impressive in regards to its selection, size and resources. I used the upstairs tables for studying. Stationed upstairs was the most friendliest/hospitable security guard I've ever encountered. I really do not have anything negative to share but there are some things from other reviews I would like to shed some light on. Yes there will be unhoused people spending time at the library. None of them are going to bother you and I did not notice any kind of smell that other reviews touch on. They will be reading, solving puzzles, using the Internet and charging stations along with getting a break from the heat. The majority of them will be doing this silently, with very few exceptions. But just like the other visitors, there may be a few that are not as concerned about maintaining a quiet environment. So if you are going here to study, or focus on whatever you're reading and or researching, just bring some earplugs or headphones. I do this anyways when I go to a library to study. Computer lab closes at 4:30 pm and they will announce it's closure, a few times, leading up to this time giving you a chance to finish your work. They will also start announcing the closing time of the library about 15 minutes from closing to give you the opportunity to gathering your things. Really great experience, I will definitely return, and encourage others to use this amazing resource
