That's pretty much it! I'm sure it's always busy, but it's the only library around. Small, unimpressive collection; unattractive; badly designed. That’s pretty much it!

I wish we had a decent library. It should have old newspapers from the area on microfilm, for example. Good Science and Math books would also be great. Why is the selection so despicable?
