We have a new library and it's a little odd because it's in a corporate park. They turned the former library into housing for senior citizens.
There is always some type of art show at the library. In addition, they have art like this on permanent display.
Our library has such diverse programs. They sponsor foreign language meetups, movies, and tech talks two times a week. I'm going to one of the tech talks because I have two computers that need Windows updates. One I got shut out of by Windows and I don't know how to address this problem, so I'm hoping this will be helpful. I have three technical certifications but it's been a long time since I've done anything like reinstall Windows.
Other activities they have are drop-in crafts, board games, story time for children, reading to a therapy dog, and even coloring sessions for people looking to de-stress with coloring. I've never done it, but I have talked to people who have and they have good things to say about it.
There are about eight private conference rooms if you want to just read or do some type of computer or paperwork project by yourself. They are really nice! Floor to ceiling windows, and quiet. I've used one a couple times to focus on projects I wasn't getting anywhere with at home.
Out in the open, though, I've seen people bring in stacks of stuff that looked like they needed sorting, or doing other types of paperwork projects. They work alone at long tables, get their project done, and then leave.
The best thing of all about our library is how friendly the librarians are. They always have a big smile for the patrons.
