No, branches do not have mandated quiet floors or areas. Enclosed study rooms are available at the Lee Avenue branch, but they are not soundproof. That being said, each library is generally quiet. If you have a need where you require a completely quiet space (for example, to complete an online test or virtual job interview) please call your local branch to see what assistance they can offer at the time.

Yes! You can put a book on reserve and have that book brought to any branch in the district. Specify with the librarian putting the item on reserve for you where you would like to pick it up. If you are reserving the item yourself through OPAC, it will automatically go to your home branch. Call any library to find out what your home branch is. Your home branch is generally the location at which your card was first made. The item will take some time to get there, usually a week, but we will get it to you!
