Stanley A. Milner Library

Branch Notes

We’re changing things up at the downtown library to serve you better! So, what are we doing?

• We’re creating a single customer service area on the main floor where we can answer your questions. Come see us – we can help!
• We won’t just be behind a desk. More staff will be on the floor ready to help you at the front door, in the aisles and at the computer stations.
• We’re improving the look and layout so that it is more open and inviting and easier to find what you are looking for. There will also be more comfortable seating areas and more natural light.
• We’re adding even more computers!

Stay tuned. We’re looking forward to making your experience at EPL even better.
