Glendale has 3 well stocked libraries. My wife always gets her fair share of audio books (she drives 1-3 hours per day to do home visits with young children). I've gone through the Alera series and am currently working on Wheel of Time. We've managed to even (eventually) borrow season 2 of Game of Thrones.\n\nThe area outside has several interesting hangouts. I just wish the little coffee shop would come back!
