  I have not been into this library for several years, or any, and needed to utilize some of the services offered today and found this location well staffed, helpful, polite and friendly. I also rediscovered what I like about a public library and it's usefulness in our society. Awesome job to the staff and resources they provide.

  Seems like a wonderful facility. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a library card due to my lack of residency in Washington even though I am working a forest service job in the Snoqualmie National Forest for the summer. Librarian on the phone was very well versed in tax laws and informed me why I was not able to receive a card (he was very polite). Wish they would set up a temporary card system for those of us who work here in the area for the summer and love to read. On the bright side, I was told I may come in for a guest pass to use computers.
