I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman 04:58, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Here are the issues I found:

• Half the article of the library is on the founder rather than the library itself. While the founder deserves a mention, it is rather odd.
• It feels like there are some parts missing to this article. It's not easy to put my finger on what, but that main thing is that I'd like to see a bit more detail on what the library has. You note the 16,000 books and end it there without much detail (which is unsourced anyway)
• Some parts of the article are written a bit non-encyclopedically (i.e. "Despite its modest resources,"). It's not really bad in and of itself, but see the point below.
• The main issue I have with the article is the sourcing. Most of the sources used are primary (either the library's site or newsletter). There are also a few places where the tone is a concern, and the lack of secondary sourcing is what ends up making that more of an issue than it would be otherwise.

Due to that last point, I feel this article would need a good deal of restructuring, and as is I'm going to have to fail the article. Wizardman 02:25, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
