Assistant was help checked out my books. I was happy with all assistants in the library. I like how the library books are neatly organized and planned out. You guys are doing a great job running the library. No problem at all with anything. My visit to the reference desk was great. She helped me out and answered my question. The service was great. The librarian did a great job in explaining. Sometimes I don’t have enough time to study in the library. Please lend some books or VHS I can bring them at home and return a few days. She helped me out a lot, and answered all questions I had Very nice, helpful, and informative..a great resource! n/a Good work every time. The male librarian is extremely helpful.

I realize that most of the books place in the reference section is due to the fact most people just use those materials as a reference on one thing in the book they are interested in; although some may actually be interested in reading entire book for study and learning. Maybe there could be special circumstances. I was very pleased with the service. Librarian was very helpful. The service I received today was good because I was looking for a specific book and got help and suggestions to better find my book. I think that the service provided was great and very helpful. It lets me know I can get help when I need it. Everything is all right Very friendly and helpful. Went above and beyond to find answers to my question. The are wonderful. I feel absolutely great today.
