Service Extends to the Atrium too...

The service extends to the tables in the atrium also. Downside could be the 2.20/hour parking after the first hour.
Great, but parking costs too much

I gave this a try the other day; great connection, easy to work in the library, but ouch, I can't afford that parking.
Not bad

I was there on a weekend. I was able to park on a side street so the parking was free on a weekend. I was in the lower area and was working in an area on top of a counter, the service was great and I was able to do my work where the books were. Not bad and a great location.

For the record, if you have a library card and check out a book they validate parking, I believe.

I used the service in the library last Saturday. I started in the childeren's library with my kids and woulnd up walking over to the reading room when they were done to red a few magazines while my download continued. They validate parking for 1 hour on weekdays and any length of time on weekends.
