public library
Founded in 1898, the historic A.K. Smiley Public Library features original oak furniture, stained glass windows, fireplaces, and cozy reading nooks. Guests can also venture to the basement to browse the Friends of the Library bookstore, which sells books to support the facility.
Commenters express deep affection for the library, frequently highlighting the basement bookstore and its affordable monthly eight-dollar book bag sale. While sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, at least one visitor noted an unwelcoming interaction with the front-desk staff.
