The Adult Services department comprises nearly all the 2nd floor of the Main Library. Here you will find relaxing spaces to read newspapers, magazines, and books, as well as spaces for research and quiet activities (puzzles, games, crafts). At the top of the main staircase you will find seasonal book displays, our Seed Library, and the Reference Desk.
