I was at this library for the first time last week. I was very impressed with the Maker Space and may try to get to this orientation.

I have to say that I'm not sure why the place is even called a library. They only have about 1/2 as many standing book shelves as a building of that square footage could fit and to top it off, they seem to be missing the top three shelves on each of those. Also all the computers were being used but only one older guy seemed to be using them for something other than playing games. Not exactly what I've seen in the Austintown location.

I believe this to be true. I just think it's somewhat sad that the new library has such a limited amount of books actually available to grab off a shelf and sit down and learn from. Now that I've typed that, I think most of the books available were fiction.

Talk to the Head librarian mr. Stuart about your discovery. He's very accommodating for patrons of the library.
