This is probably one of the nicest libraries ever.  A must see - this is a great building located just near the heart of town.  The front has some amazing wooden doors - step inside to a landscaped court yard, and an open air covered reading room with free wireless.  If you need to work away from home, this is the place to do so.  Look carfeully, the building and courtyard are so well done, you might mistake this library for one of the near by homes.  The library sits on a street that looks out to the ocean.  
Another cool thing to check out is the DuPont shell collection which is quite extensive and is on display in the court yard.
We stopped by during the annual book sale and picked up some great books for less than a $1 each - some of the books looked like they had never been opened.
5 Stars for being a cool building, a free activity, a great place to read and having free wifi.
