I found the following review written by a Molly Summers with a date from 5 years ago:" The Ela Area Public Library is a beautiful, inviting public library. The librarians that work there another story. They are unfriendly, inconsiderate, unhelpful, and unaccommodating. Even though the more senior librarians probably have tenure, that is no reason to lack people-skills. It would serve the public well if these individuals were not sarcastic or rude. Polite, helpful librarians serve the public best."

Five years later, much of Molly's review remains unchanged. The building is still beautiful and inviting and, unfortunately, the people skills of many of the employees has not improved in the past 5 years. They continue to be rude, unhelpful and unfriendly. It pains me to see my tax dollars contributing to their paychecks.

Wonderful Helpful Library! Never met an unhappy person employed there!
