Last chance for favorite libraries

Today's the last day to put in a good word for your favorite public libraries for families in Central Maryland for tomorrow's Tip Sheet. We could use more recommendations for great branches in Howard and Anne Arundel counties in particular.

I'm sorry to say that I don't know of any great branches in Anne Arundel County. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak -- the facilities really need updating and renovating. My library is the main branch on West Street in Annapolis, and it's friendly but dated, open design and loud on the weekends. It's quieter and more inviting at Barnes & Noble, I'm sad to say.
