This is a delightful small local library that provides a great escape for reading or quietly working on a computer. The librarians are great readers themselves, and are very friendly and helpful. There is plenty of parking. read more

Everyone that works here is always so helpful. Although it's a smaller library, there is a great…read moreselection of fiction/nonfiction for both children and adults. The DVD and audio selection is equally as great. There is a meeting room where monthly activities and clubs are held, too. There are special spaces for children, teens, and adults. Lots of tables and study areas, and some public computers for free usage with your library card. You can print, fax, and copy for a small fee and even get books shipped in from other libraries. Great place to go to study or pick something out.

There are regular…read moreevents for little ones, and a dedicated kids' room on the second floor that serves as a fun play area.

I love a good library, and Upper Shores is a wonderful asset to the community! My nieces have been…read moregoing here for years to check out their summer books - we have a summer residence in SSP, and Upper Shores is a short car ride (or bike ride) away. Recently, we spent some time here on a rainy day to just read and chill out. First, if you're an avid reader, Upper Shores has a great selection (both in person and online) of books. The library does appear a bit on the small side, but don't let that fool you! In addition, the staff will be happy to order you a book on loan from another library and they're usually there within a day or so. Their loan time on Libby (which you should all download for e-books and audiobooks) is 21 days which is better than my local library at 14 days. The app is also a coinvent way to look up and place a hold on desired books so they can be ready for pickup. As I mentioned, I also spent a wonderful afternoon here with my nieces. We parked ourselves in some comfy chairs and read for a few hours. There is plenty of space to do just that - and I was pleasantly surprised with the free phone charger locker that fast-charged my phone in a matter of minutes. I also know they have a great selection of programs available for kids throughout the summer, too! One thing I will say: it is very difficult to get a library card here. Only tax-paying residents that show proof of address can get a card here. Therefore, my parents are entitled to a card but I (as a member of their household) am not. The same goes for my nieces - even though they are in elementary school, they are not entitled to a card as a member of their parents' household. So I registered my mom for a card and am using her number to take out books. The staff kindly but firmly talked me through this whole process. I understand why, however - there are so many transients in the area, I can see a vacationer borrow books and never give them back. You are entitled to a guest card for 10 dollars if you aren't a taxpayer, however it's only good for four weeks. Regardless, library are important cornerstones of communities, and I am very happy to use / support Upper Shores!

I utilized the library for their work space since I work remotely. They had great internet speeds and plenty of outlets for charging. The restroom was clean and they have one large meeting room. This library is nice as it has a parking lot and there is a baseball field right behind the library. The beach is two short blocks away I spent my time between listening to the waves and working from here.

The place is spacious with plenty of nooks to grab a desk and get into a stack of books/newspapers/magazines or the Internet. One can book a room to have a meeting with the library's approval. There are frequent meetings and lectures you can attend monthly. All events are listed online and are posted at the main desk. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. All branches have a wide variety of movies that are either in stock or can be reserved on CDs.

I remember surfing the web here in the early days of the Internet while in middle school and renting DVDs and VHS tapes. Did I just date myself?! Yep. Sure did. I'm old. Fast forward to today and Brooklyn Public library is still a gem. It's a beautiful building with so much to offer on the inside. More recently I took my kid there to explore the children's section and take out some kiddie books. The children section is definitely popular and draws a crowd. The book selection is solid and your tiny person can play for a bit. There was a random guy kind of lurking around so as with any public place, you need to be vigilant. Security is present as well. The staff is extremely friendly and all are welcomed to enjoy the space, learn, read, grow, etc.

I've got friends that live in Brooklyn and we meet at the library. I have to admit that if I didn't love Manhattan, Brooklyn would be my second choice!

i love this library and i've come here since i was a kid…read more they have a bunch of video games for switch, ps5, xbox, and ps4. when i was a kid they had wii games i'd rent they have a lot of different stuff even more niche stuff like a bunch of manga series and more they have an event calendar for different events at the library for stuff like interactive programs, stuff for black history month, themed activities like learning different art skills and crafts, stuff for pride month, etc. i've never been to any of the events but there's a bunch you can go to. they just added a "sensory space" which is a room upstairs you can fidget around and lay around in and it's pretty cool, the downside is a staff member has to stand in the room while you're in there to make sure nothing goes wrong which is awkward, so i don't go in. the teen section is nice i just wish they didnt get rid of the couch they have dvds, movies, all stuff like that you can rent being able to use the computers and printers is cool, and they just added a kiosk thing recently where you can check out a macbook air or a windows laptop by using your library card which is really cool if you wanna use a laptop. the worst part, which isn't the library's fault; every single time i've ever come in here, which is dozens and dozens of times over my whole life, there is ALWAYS a kid screaming and crying. every time i come, eventually while i'm there some kid starts having a meltdown while their parents let them and it's obnoxious, and the staff does nothing about it. if you actually need to study that might make it hard, but it's usually only one kid and they're usually downstairs in the kid area away from the study/work areas upstairs so at least you can tune it out.

As a teacher and someone who tutors students at the South Brunswick Public Library multiple days…read moreeach week, I truly appreciate having a public space dedicated to learning. Unfortunately, my experience over the past several weeks has become increasingly frustrating. The biggest issue is that children are running, yelling, and playing throughout the entire library--not just in the children's section. The noise level has become so disruptive that it is often difficult for my students to focus during tutoring sessions. Instead of the quiet environment a library is meant to provide, it frequently feels chaotic. I am also concerned about safety. I have personally witnessed children running through the aisles, playing tag, climbing on bookshelves, screaming at the top of their lungs, and even walking around without shoes. These behaviors create safety risks not only for the children but for other patrons as well. I understand that libraries are community spaces and that children are welcome. However, there still needs to be reasonable supervision and enforcement of library rules so everyone can enjoy the space. Students, tutors, remote workers, and many others rely on the library as a quiet place to study and work. I hope the library can take steps to address these concerns and restore the calm, safe environment that so many members of the community depend on.

This man is the most unprofessional and aggressive officer I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. I'm in the middle of filling complaints. With his superior and then internal affairs, because we all know it's not going past the howell police department. Back in Sept of 24 I was assaulted and called 911. He was the officer who responded. Alone. And he completely dismissed any and everything I had to say... he accused me of being the aggressor and I most definitely wasn't. But he refused to hear me out. He cussed in my face, called me a lair, threatened MY freedom then the man drove off and left me standing there with the man who just assaulted me. He said "if I have to come back here, YOU'RE going to jail. " so the other 4 times I was assaulted by the SAME person I didn't call. I was scared I was going to be called a lair and arrested. The 5th time I did call 911. I had no choice, it was really bad. AGAIN, officer John took the call. He was incredibly rude and dismissive, he laughed in my face when I told him that the guy said he was going to blow up my car, he refused to give me his badge number... I told him to leave, he scares me and I'd like to speak to a non bias officer. He refused. He wasn't even going to talk to the man who assaulted me. I had Two witnesses that seen it happen. He didn't get their names or birthdays. And again. He left me with the man who tried to kill me. He randomly drives by my house for no reason, I live on a dead end.... one way in. One way out... he asks people if I still live here.. I've repeatedly told this horrible little man to stay away from me but it has become harassment. I turned in a complaint to the judge with my ppo on my ex..(the assulter) I've talked to the deputy chief about his actions over the phone.... yet he still finds a way to use his authority to scare me. I've completely had it with this guy. This started on September of 24 and hasn't stopped. He pulled my friend over in my car thinking she was me... had absolutely no probabal cause... he was just trying to find a reason to arrest me. They asked her for her license. Saw she wasn't me and told her she could leave..... um. Wait. What!? That's abuse of power, harassment and just plain trickery.... that's not ok. Idk what else to do. How do you fight the dirty cops?? I live a bad area. We need to be able to count on and trust our officers of the law. He's the only cop in my 43 years on this planet that makes my skin crawl because I know he's just out to get me. I am a good person. I work hard I'm a single mom of three I pay my taxes and I do my best to stay in my lane. I'm the one who called 911.. I was in fear of my life for months because of him. He is an awful man/cop and gives the good ones a bad name. I will not stop telling my story until it's been heard. I'm sure when he hears about this review he'll be right over here looking for any reason possible to take me in. The man needs to be demoted to the howell police department janitor. He has no business wearing a bage and disgracing the rest of the good officers out there. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I hope others have the guts to stand up against him. The only reason he scares me is the abuse of power he's so good at. That's not a fair fight.
