We couldn't ask for better libraries in Frederick county! The programs are always well thought-out…read moreand varied (plenty of really good programs for adults, teens and kids!) The variety of books and media are extensive. I especially love some of the newly released books that they have at all of the libraries. We recently went to the Point of Rocks library to use the Memory Lab (which is a very nice service that the library offers) to use the equipment and digitize some videos. The librarians and the volunteer who helped us went above and beyond to make sure that everything worked well. We really appreciate everything that FCPL has to offer!!

I love the bosler library, I have loved it since I was young. Not only is it a huge piece of…read morecarlisle history, it was a large part of some of my children's core memories in the children's wing. I had to print some sensitive documents yesterday. The front desk person was very soft spoken and pleasant. I didn't feel judged for my library card shortcomings. After the documents were printed, they let my partner pay for them but wouldn't release them to them. That feels very professional and secure. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet save for the occasional excited toddler bouncing around. There's the bookery which is not only clean and cozy but stunningly fancy looking, kind of like a little palace. Items bought there are yours to keep. The prices are more than reasonable, some of the stuff is antiques. There's a teen wing, non-fiction, a chess board, dvds, sensory items, and a few free shelves. But so much more! There's useful documents everywhere, from a library-offered self-guided scavenger hunt to incredibly helpful mental health resources. Bathrooms are clean and open to the public. I recommend the summer reading program for kids, mine did it for a few years. It's incredibly rewarding for them. Bosler will always be my favorite library. Maybe I'm biased, but I think it deserves every bit of its praise. I will always go here.

The outter reception room outside the main library hall is full of display cases with amazingly rare and incredible literary treasures.

I'd have truly loved to explore more of this architectural gem with its abundance of literary and historic treasures. For those that do have access, I hope they appreciate the incredible privilege they have.

Cons:Tried to emailing for a schedule followup and haven't received my schedule.Also received a email that they weren't accepting applications for volunteers until September it felt subtitling was a little mean it was perceieved as.Also being a new volunteer you can be very nervous and with some of the team not seeming like they want new volunteers their make you feel unwelcome there.When you really don't wanna lose you're volunteering position this can be very upsetting and make someone really sad;feel unwelcome.

Its one of the more larger libraries in MOCO. I was looking…read morefor a book... thats a best seller. However all the libraries in the area had long waiting lists. They have Lucky Day shelves. Which means those books with waiting lists sometimes will be there. I bypassed that 4 week waiting period. I came initially to use one of their conference rooms. Which is huge and spacious. They have a discovery room which is a huge sensory play area that I use to take my littles that they absolutely loved. Teachers can also reserve the room during the week for a hour. However use caution. Idk if those toys are sanitized. So make sure your littles dont put it in their mouth. Lots of computers to use, or bring your own laptop. Wifi is good. However their printing is expensive... .15 cents for regular and i think .99 cents for color. They also have classes, especially if you wanna learn how to knit, or play mahjong. They also have reading time for the littles.
