Bittersweet Branch Courtyard

The courtyard at the Bittersweet Branch is a perfect oasis for relaxing in a peaceful environment. Renovations were completed in the summer of 2021 to include a small, stepped amphitheater, creating a multifunctional space for reading, seasonal library programs, and future theater, musical, or other types of performances. The outdoor space provides a safe, fenced-in area with benches and umbrella seating. Patrons are welcome to bring a blanket and a picnic lunch and enjoy the beautiful area during regular hours of operation. Free Wi-Fi is available. The courtyard is accessible from within the building through two doors on the library's north side. Please note the courtyard area is open seasonally and weather permitting.
