We love being asked questions.
No sarcasm intended. I got a job working at a library so I didn't have to sell anything to anybody, and just provide help for free. It's an amazing feeling. So please, ask away!

Pick up books and put them on a table.
Ask the librarian a question.
Use a computer.
Use Libby or Hoopla or something else to stream video on your phone.
Look at the wide selection of magazines and newspapers there.
