This library seems to have inordinate difficulty checking in books and especially magazines. I returned a pile of magazines 4 days before their due date - placed ON THE SERVICE DESK in the box marked for magazines, because I had previously returned magazines in the outdoor return box and learned from a librarian that they don't even empty it or record those returns for days. Four days later, I received an email notice that my magazines were due despite the fact that they had been returned early. In addition, the parking is awful and inadequate, and the book selection is okay but not great. I have lived in many places and used many libraries, and this one is mediocre at best, so I don't understand the glowing reviews. On the other hand, the reference librarian that I once dealt with was enormously helpful, so that gets the library two stars, although she herself would've gotten 5.
