Not a bad spot. I stopped here to use their printing and I was able to do so without having to sign up for a library card or membership. They gave me a guest pass and I was able to print what I needed and went on my way.
I prefer other libraries over this one but it’s a library; not much you should complain about. It’s nice to know there’s one in Cascades so I can drop by here if I need some quiet time or do study/​research.

We love our new local library. We especially like the unlimited rental for books, movies, DVD.

This is my home library and I’ve been going here since I was a little girl. I appreciate that the library is generally quiet and I don’t mind a little bit of noise but the other reviews are correct in saying that it’s not a silent library. Sometimes I think it’s from the kids that seem to always be there and the study sessions that go on between adults and kids and groups of high schoolers.
If you are lucky, you can snag a small private room, but there are only a few and seem to be taken from open to close. Cascades has free wifi, I’ve never had a problem with speed or connection.
They have wonderful kids programs for the 8 and under crowd, anything over that and the library becomes ‘uncool’. Great place to go and many people don’t realize that most libraries are not this big or well-​used.

Great library. Their online ordering of books is the way to go. They have the books ready for you to pick up and make it very easy. If you are need of a library to study then this one might not be the best because it is very open and noise carries. But staff and environment is solid.

So so so so SO noisy. Hardly any private study rooms– the ones that do exist seem to always occupied from 10am to close. Really sad. I treck all the way to Reston to study now. Cascades is just awful in comparison… but I guess that’s what happens when you only seem to want to cater to those persons first grade and below. I simply cannot concentrate here and I feel badly for the rest of my community (especially those w/​o transportation) having to go here— also, Cascades wifi is super temperamental. I never know what to expect in terms of connection.
Last point: Why are group meeting rooms not able to be reserved online? This paper form nonsense is pretty archaic, guys.

This library reeks of 80s awesomness. You feel like you’ve stepped into a time machine. All I’m missing is a can of RC cola, a pair of 80s leggings and my cassette player. There are a lot of open spaces, and some clear glass individual study rooms (feels like a telephone book). If you want to use a study room for a group, you will have to rent them. Parking and accessibility are great.

Very nice library — great selection of movies and books, friendly staff, lots of different areas to study (from small individual cubicles to armchairs). But I do agree with the reviewer who commented that the noise level is a bit out of control for a library and more than once I hoped the staff would point out the «Quiet Please» signs posted around. I mean, you get it all at this library: from the group of friends who talk as if they’re at a loud coffee shop to the woman hiding somewhere in the back and letting out gas so loudly that you wonder if she’s deaf.

This library would be great if only they managed to control the noisy people in it!!! It’s a library… as far a I can recall from when I was a child, I was raised properly to respect the fact that people come here to read, concentrate and study and one must RESPECT that!!! Parents don’t seem to teach their kids properly these days and since they don’t, then the library should enforce those rules! Oh… and there are some adults that are just as bad as the kids in terms of how loud they talk and obviously they were not taught correctly either! PLEASE!!! people, when you are at the library… Shhhhhhhhhh!!!

Love the book selections, especially for kids. The down side — the overcrowded summer kids programs. Most are by ticket only but the room is always way too crowded.

Went there when the guy from Antique Road Show came out and you could bring an item for him to appraise for free. It was fun… my old wine bucket is worth $ 300 who would have known. I love old junk :)
