"Man, you're quick to get a library card!" says one of the employees as I tell her that I've been…read morehere three times since I moved to Roselle a week-ish ago. Yep. I FREAKIN' LOVE LIBRARIES! It keeps me from having to spend money on book/DVD/music entertainment and cluttering up my shelves with things I'll only use once or twice. Plus, the smell of books within a beautiful brick building really does something for me (man, if only my husband and I could have a romp in the stacks). So, a library that gives you a free book when you sign up for a card? SWEET! When I signed up for a card a few days after I moved here, I received a copy of "Rocket Boys" (the book that inspired 'October Sky') along with a brochure highlighting all the library events in October (and man, there's a ton of them!). This may be the first library where I've actually paid attention to the free events they offer. And they gave me a book I'd actually be interested in reading at some point. Major props for that. Roselle's library is a bit on the small side, with a smaller selection than I'm used to, but at least they have the basics -- books, DVDs, CDs, magazines, whatnot -- and a nice youth section upstairs. All the people that work here are very personable and made me feel right at home. This is the perfect library for a sweet little town.

You can tell it was designed with families in mind. They have a great selection of books for all ages, so it's easy to find something kids will actually get excited about. I also loved that they offer board games, it's a nice touch and makes it more than just a place to read. It's somewhere kids can relax, play, and spend quality time together. The decoration really stands out too. It's cheerful and welcoming without feeling overwhelming, which makes the whole space feel comfortable and inviting. We'll be coming back!

Maybe 1 or 2 months ago I informed this library that a section where the private booths are…read morelocated, the electrical outlets did not seem to work because the desk lights, even when plugged in, did not work and there was no electrical power supplied to those or the outlets. This was the first time I had gone to this section for more privacy in the library. So I returned a few weeks later and noticed that the library had corrected the problem and I was able to study quietly in this section and may have come back to that area again with no issues. However recently when I returned to the area, some of the under desk lights were unplugged and the cord was too short to reach the outlet. I was able to plug my surge protector to supply power for my computer & bluetooth transmitter. While I was quietly watching the news or something on TV I was streaming, some librarian rudely came over to interrupt me making accusations that I had too many electrical devices or something & questioning me of causing a short circuit of the area based on the first time I was in the area to report that there was no electricity to that section. So basically though the first time I was in the area to discover that even their under desk lamps did not work and I had not set up there to plug in any devices, & that area truly had an electrical circuit outage of their own fault or negligence, she decides to questionme for that all because I reported the issue to them a month ago that maybe they were not supplying power to that area, maybe a circuit breaker had tripped for that area. Maybe this library has problems with people of color and chooses to profile them & question those people for their own problems with their facilities. This is the first library that has taken the time to approach me to question me for something I initially reported as an issue with their facilities. I highly do NOT recommend this library and if you discover anything broken or any faults there, do not inform them because they will come back to you later to you or imply that you could have been the cause of that problem in their library & not want to take responsibility. They will probably use some profiling of individuals (person of color) to lay blame to something that was their fault over a month ago as well & will come back to you if you revisit the library to ask you if you were the possible cause of the initial problem you pointed out to them & had nothing to do with initially. They seem to remember or watch certain people. Other problems with the library is that it is too cramped. The study areas and tables are too narrow or the passage ways are too narrow to squeeze through especially if others are sitting or studying in those areas to get from the open area librarian desk section to the area to the south east I believe... the section where I used to set up with the semicircle desk/table. The library has never or had approached me when I would study and set up there. They had a problem in the other section that I reported an electrical outage in the northeast part. and it was their fault for not supplying electricity to that section over a month ago. Another problem with this old library is it does not seem to have adequate electrical outlets for one to do significant work and keep connected and your devices charged adequately without one have to bring their own surge protection. Maybe due to their outdated electrical system could be the reason why they were paranoid of someone shorting out their system for no reason. They need to modernize more and there are much better libraries that have better technology than this 1. They will not question the person or what happened with the electrical outage prior to since there was a problem prior to it being addressed. Maybe someone else caused this issue before it was addressed or pointed out over a month ago. They even seemed unaware to the issue initially. Then when you return, they will question if you may have been the cause of the issue even if things are working fine with the electrical outlets. It just did not make any logical sense to be approached this time about this & it was probably some profiling being done by the library. One can only conclude that this library did not want me there despite visiting it several times with no issues prior to informing them of their electrical problem & a few times afterward. This library seems unwelcoming at this point. So beware.avoid. Last year, I used to set up in another section bringing my devices,& surge protectors & I had never been approached by any librarian of any concern of their electrical issues or outage. Only after trying to help them with a problem on the other side do they have an issue with me or questioning me of something.. No good deed goes unpunished is truly true. This is one library to avoid. There are other, more spacious libraries & that are more modern that this one in an antiquated old building probably using socket fuses.
