The library offers free services including Wi-Fi access, public computers, and printing facilities for all visitors. Plan to spend time exploring the different sections, as the building houses various departments and resources.
The facility added a makerspace in 2022, giving visitors a place to learn hands-on skills and work on creative projects. Solar panels installed on the building help power operations with renewable energy.
