I should have emphasized more what a nice place it is just to be--to sit and read alone or with kids--the main benefit of membership is checking materials out, but the whole place is very friendly to members & non-members alike.

"The one with the play food and the shark books or the one with the truck puzzles, Mom?" Worth a trip for sure!
