The first floor of the library is broken off into two sections: one for children to learn, play and interact while the other section host adult literature, audio books, theatre and videos, among other things.  The second floor hosts a large selection of non-fiction. The library also has numerous resources such as an Apple Digital Media Lab, computer center and multiple study rooms.
