    Nice old school and authentic library. It doesn't have a state of the art computer lab but it's quiet enough to study.

    This library is really a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's a beautiful building, both inside and…read moreout. There's also a pretty expansive audio-visual collection, and a wonderful, glass-enclosed study room in the middle of the building. OTOH, it is more often than not filled with insufferably loud, obnoxious teenagers and adolescents. I love the idea of kids pursuing knowledge, but too often it's used as a pretext to turn a building utilized by many others for its intended purpose into a teen hangout. It's worth visiting if you're in Stapleton, but be warned. Don't go there for an hour of quiet contemplation and study. At least, not after 2 PM on a weekday.

    This was the closest location to me when I was a child growing up in the late 80's and all…read morethroughout the 90's. So to say I spent a lot of time there would be an understatement. I got to know all the old library workers and they treated us like family (there were a few who were nasty, but every place has one of those). I loved it there. It was like a second home. When it closed down for 'renovation', I was crushed. I didn't think it would ever open back up again, but just a few years back, I noticed they fixed it up and hired an entire new crew. I have to say, though I loved the old time-y, rustic feel of the original library, the new version isn't all that bad. It even comes complete with some really nice librarians. Well worth the visit.

    I started going to this location weekly about a month ago. I'm always met with friendly and helpful…read morestaff. They are usually eager to tell me about the programs going on and assist me in finding and getting the books I want. I like their website and the services provided. I've signed up to get the text alerts for the activities going on and I love that they have so many digital books that are always available to access online. The ambiance of the library is also very happy. Very colorfully decorated with a steady stream of new books on display that you can checkout. This location has a friendly atmosphere and I enjoy seeing the steady stream of people participating in their programs (arts and craft, story time, sing a long, yoga, guitar lessons etc.). In this era of isolation it's a great place for people to go and interact with others if they choose to.

    The main library is pretty cool. It's a an older, historic building, but I believe they are…read morerenovating it. In fact, the location will be closed temporary for renovations at some point in the near future. So check it out while you still can. It's downtown and close to Grove Street. You can easily walk from the PATH to the library. You can also bike there. It's close to Van Vorst Park, as well. So it's a great place to stop if for a lazy Saturday. Also, apparently the reading time in the Children's area is jumping. The strollers come out in full force.
