Yay, for the children's programs at Orangeburg Library. We have been attending many of the…read morechildren's programs at Orangeburg Library for the last few years and are very happy.

Nice little library in Rockland county. But unfortunately, I had an extremely unpleasant experience…read morewith one of the library employees. I might be wrong, but I get the vibe that if you are not of a certain skin complexion or from the same area, then expect to be treated differently. This is mostly a predominantly white area and they like to stick to their own cliques and people and will let you know that you don't belong there. At least that's the vibe I get every time I visit. Of course it's subtle prejudice and you can't really call them out on it because there is no evidence. No evidence, no crime. But you will feel like a second class citizen if you visit this library. If you think there is nothing wrong and are used to the way you are treated here, I recommend you to visit other libraries in the area and see how much better of an experience you have when you visit there. Don't take my word for it. Experience it yourself! At the end of the day , its still a public library and we can't expect all libraries to be equally good, but it's just sad knowing that our tax dollars are going towards hiring people who aren't even competant enough to do their jobs nor aren't interested in providing a service without injecting their subtle prejudices into it. Respect your patrons and stop talking down to them.

Very nice facility. They have a massive children's section and a lot of options for programming…read more The folks that staff the library are a mixed bag. There are some nice folks that are willing to help but there are definitely some unfriendly folks. For example, multiple times, I have wandered into the back section (have not approached the reference desk) and the person at the reference desk has snapped at me "what do you need." It's happened multiple times and at first I thought I was in a restricted section and that was the cause of the unfriendly reception. There are also some front desk people that are not friendly. I will say Miss Anne and Miss Judy(?) as well as some of the ladies in the children section have made this location redeemable. I try to time my visits for when they are there. Otherwise I will go to Dobbs Ferry as that is also a nice library and is a bit more welcoming.

We were looking for holiday books for my son and they had a great selection. Their entertainment section is definitely on it's last leg (understandably so).

On an annual trip to NYC, I decided I would visit bookstores and take in all I could. B&B was right…read moreby my hotel, and I was delighted to find a comfortable room full of baseball memorabilia and a great variety. They specialize in 19th and 20th century English and American literature, which means you're going to see a lot of titles you're familiar with. I stopped in late in their day, so I wasn't surprised to be the only one there, but the team gave me space, answered very basic questions I had, and - gasp - LET ME TOUCH THE BOOKS. This is far from a stuffy environment, and when I finally convince my partner that I need that very expensive piece that has F. Scott Fitzgerald's music for Princeton, I know exactly where I'll go.

5 minutes before B&B books was closing, I buzzed the room located on the third floor to see if they…read morewould let me in "just to look." Well, 45 minutes later, I was still oohing and awing at the marvelous selection of first edition books they have to offer. This is the largest selection (aside from corporate-owned Bauman's) of rare books I've seen that include the dust jacket- a collectors actual dream. It's the biggest breath of fresh air to find a rare book store owned by a woman, and to be treated like a human being. I normally get side-eyed from rare bookstore owners and some of the conversations I've had sound like: "May I see the Portrait of a Lady in the case?" "All of these books are at least $100.00 and up." ".....I know." "Do you have any Wilde?" "The book about the woman hiking alone? That's too new to be in our shop, Barnes & Noble would have it." "I'm talking about the 1800s poet." "Oh." I take it personally because while I look like a millennial who doesn't know what she's talking about, I treasure my rare books like they're my children. Sunday stayed AN EXTRA HOUR at her store while I looked and answered all of my questions that I had, never making me feel rushed or unwelcome. After selecting a first edition Fitzgerald, she wrapped it in bubble wrap for my travels back home and gave me an updated book with all of the rare book sellers in the country.
