December 19, 2018 at 3:22 pmNot really a reply but I just wanted to let you know how amazing your staff is at the Plaza branch location in courthouse. I come into the library probably 3+ times a week to return and check out books and every time the employees have been so kind and helpful. I know it isn’t an easy location to work at as there are many homeless men and women who come into the library everyday for warmth and to use the computers, but your staff treats them with such respect and are so personable and helpful. Anyways, just wanted to say thank you for staffing such wonderful and kind people.
