Some events are for certain age groups/ populations, like seniors, teens, parents. Etc, while others are open to the general public. Activities range from practice career guidance to social events like movie screenings and even wine tasting. Every time I come to the library, the staff at the front desk is always very friendly and helpful. The librarian is also knowledgeable and able to point me In the right direction whenever I have a specific topic or title I'm looking for. I'm a big fan of the inter-library book exchange. You're able to place a request online for almost any book and pick it up at the Fort Lee branch when it becomes available. It's super convenient. Another great feature of this library is their partnership with museums in nyc. As a former NYC resident i was worried about missing out on some of the perks of being an NYC resident, but I found out that you actually get free access to to several museums with your Fort Lee Library card and you can request passes for a few guests as well. Overall, this library isn't the largestor necessarily the most modern, but it has mostly everything you could need or want from a local library. It's certainly nicer than my local library growing up and the service is always friendly. 4.5 stars

I have really enjoyed the times that I have been here. This library looks small from the outside…read morebut is actually huge! There is a large quiet section with large cubbies & other areas which I have yet to explore. The lower level has a large selection of CD's & DVD's. Going to the restroom felt a bit ominous because the lower level is usually less populated & the bathrooms are secluded. I would definitely be back here for quiet study or for a change of scenery from my local library. The staff have not been too friendly or welcoming but I did not interact more with them besides exchanging a simple "hello" or "goodbye."

I literally asked THE STAFF to lower their voices as it echos throughout the QUIET ROOM multiple time! and instead of doing so, one of the desk workers who previously asked me to EXIT THE QUIET ROOM so that an employee can eat their damn lunch while I was STUDYING gave me an attitude for POLITELY asking their asses to lower their voices as we are in a library. This bozo then asks me to EXIT the Quiet Room AGAIN because she and her colleagues are UNABLE TO USE LIBRARY APPROPRIATE VOICES! I wish I could upload a recording of how loud and OBNOXIOUS they are so that those of you who see this could understand how insanely loud these Public Library working HAGS are! So again, if you actually need a quiet space to get some legitimate reading or studying done DO NOT COME TO TENAFLY PUBLIC LIBRARY! especially if you are a person of color because I am absolutely positive that if I was Caucasian that the response to me respectfully asking them to lower their voices so that I may study for an exam IN PEACE would have been received very differently. Nicely built establishment however the HAGS at the front desk need to be replaced!

I love this library, especially the kids section. They have a big round space that serves as a…read morereading corner and there is a bathtub in the middle of it with pillows inside. My kids enjoy climbing in there with a book. The adult section is nice too. It's a beautiful round space with lots of sunlight and work / reading spaces. I haven't tried their classes yet, but must say I am intrigued by the French conversation classes and the knitting club. This library is a beautiful, well light community space for people to come and share a love for reading. I take my kids there often so they can learn to love books and reading as well and there are plenty of resources for them to do so.

This is my home library, and it's one of my absolute favorite neighborhood spots. This library's on…read morethe smaller side and attached to a neighborhood senior center but because it's nestled in a mostly-residential area, I've never struggled to find street parking. The smallness of the library means the self-service aspect of more modern libraries aren't available. Books placed on hold are kept behind the counter, so one of the librarians have to retrieve them AND check out all your books. I see this as a plus and a minus. Sure, my visits take just a little longer, but it means I have to have some human contact with every visit and that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, my favorite librarian is a bit of a visual genius. After a few visits, she's come to recognize me on sight and grabs my library holds the second she sees me coming through the door. You don't get that kind of personal service from a machine. While there aren't a ton of titles in this particular library, the interlibrary loan system works beautifully. I'll search for whatever book I need through the website and - if it's available at another location within the system - I'll receive it here within a matter of days. I've also come to appreciate the rich programming. There's a busy calendar of events for all ages from month to month, and there was a summer reading program this past summer for all ages, with raffles to incentivize reading. I was happily surprised to be one of the raffle winners, but even if I weren't, I would absolutely encourage locals to participate because there were trinket prizes just for reading a certain number of books. Though this library is small, the children's section is a delight, complete with a carpeted seating area... and a tree! It's fake, of course, but large and looming enough that it adds a ton of charm. This clearly attracts a lot of kiddos, which sometimes means the library loses its quietude with the squeaks and squeals of little ones. I'm not personally bothered by it, but possibly something to consider for patrons who need absolute silence.

I went to go inquire about this and was told a firm "no" by the woman that worked there. I brought up that there was *literally* no one else in the library for the computers and the answer was still no, EVEN with the notice. The Staff member provided no proof other explanation , covid related or otherwise. I understand that she is doing her job but I think updating the terms of computer use and being a bit friendlier would've left a better taste in my mouth.

I pride myself on being a great listener, it's what I do best. From what I noticed, this library has a lot of books and the staff is quite helpful. From the friendly staff I learned that you can go on an app and/or a website to obtain an audio book or even ebooks. Therefore, you do not need to come to the old fashioned library unless you have nothing better to do. Only reason for the 4star review is: NO PARKING!!! This library has a shared municipal parking with the town hall and all their employees occupy it during the day. You have better luck of winning the lotto than finding a spot!
