Denise Slattery, of northwest Oklahoma City, volunteers in the genealogy department on Saturdays. She spends a few hours every other weekend documenting obituaries or helping people research their family history. Slattery said she enjoys the open feel of the building.
"When the sun comes in, everything is lit up," Slattery said. "It's very nice."
Library staff members do everything they can to incorporate as many people and interests as possible, Slattery said.
Jerry Stephens, of Edmond, visits the library every Saturday morning with his wife. Stephens enjoys attending book discussions and musical performances. If the library doesn't have what he's looking for, staff members are always willing to consider getting it, Stephens said.
"I think people fail to appreciate how good our local library is," Stephens said. "Oklahoma City is really fortunate to have such a great library system."
