I learned so many interesting tidbits about the library that I would not have picked up from just walking around. The free tours are offered three times a day. The library is not open on Sunday or Monday. Your own library card from your local library can be scanned there and you are added to their system. You can take out books, CD's and other materials at the downtown library and then return them to your local library. Cool, huh?
