Note that there's two entrances to the building that go to different floors.

What a great idea, you are allowed 35 minute to start and if no one else needs to use it, they will extend your computer time till you finish up your work! This library has 8 computers. Also, if you want to explore the museums in Philadelphia and Chester County pick up passes from the library because they are free and they even give you a parking pass! How nice. We went to the art museum and it was wonderful! The library has so many different books, magazines, audiobooks and tapes but also classes you can take and adventures for the kiddos! They offer a wealth of information to you and your family. In addition, there was multiple tax applications and documents you may need this season if you are doing your own taxes, if not they have several resources for filing your taxes for free and not so free. Please check it out and support your local library, the library is open for business everyday of the week till 8 pm except Friday till 5pm, Saturday till 4pm and Sunday till 5pm, with free parking and handicap accessible parking.

Normally I would not visit a public library on vacation (I'm from California) but since I had a few…read moreminor things that required a desktop computer through my work, I had to make a stop at "Wilmington Public Library". Located directly on E. 10th St. and in between N. Market St/N. King St in the heart of downtown Wilmington, Delaware, this library is located in the historic Rodney Square District. Hours of operation are Thursday-Friday from 9:00am-5:00pm and Friday and Saturday, Monday-Wednesday from 9:00am-7:00pm. I came here during the afternoon of Friday 10/10/2025 at around 3:15pm. Parking was fairly accessible as I was able to park my rental car directly outside (with paid parking meters). Once inside, you will notice just how spacious this library is. They have various sections that includes a dedicated children's area, a teen zone, local historical research, meeting rooms, and a very generous section for checking out books, audio books, and DVD rentals. Since I specifically needing to log online, I took the elevator to the 2nd floor to their computer lab. Once there, I explained to the librarian that I needed to use a computer and after providing basic contact information, I took care of what I needed and was on my way. Overall, the "Wilmington Public Library" is one of two libraries in the Wilmington area (the other being the North Wilmington Branch on N. Market St). This area is convenient, quiet, and took care of the services that I needed. With that said and done, I am giving this library an above average four stars.

The room itself had a couple of tables and did not have a cramped feel at all. It probably has enough room to hold around 100-150 people. It seemed like the library had plenty of books, computers and other resources. There were a couple of parents at the political event and some of them let their kids out in the library to read or do some work. This library had a couple of signs for events at the library including movie nights. Across the street from the library are a couple of pairs of tennis courts, which looked to be in good condition. Once it gets warmer, I wouldn't rule out stopping odd here once in a while to hit some balls. Altogether, the Tredyffrin Public Library is a nice space to hold gatherings/events or do some reading or other work.

**** This library has MOVED to 464 S Old Middletown Rd…read more **** I visited the new location yesterday and started a new Yelp page for the new location yesterday. I also reported the old location closed yesterday, and added tips to announce the new location on both the old and new pages... but then today, Yelp MOVED MY PHOTOS to the listing for the old address. Odd, isn't it? Repeatedly these things happen to me on Yelp, and repeated reach-outs to the local Yelp woman go un-helped. I work hard to contribute to Yelp and it's clear that my input isn't valued at all by Yelp. So this is for the legit users who care about my attempt at helpful content... The new location of Middletown Free Library is now near Wayside Market, and Bortondale, the former Penn-DOT DMV. Currently, you need to look for signs for Roosevelt School, because there is not even a temporary banner of signage indicating that the library is here. When you pull in, make sure to drive to the rear of the Roosevelt School on the right of the school (from the road). Look for the book deposit box, and the entrance is there. Again, signage is still in the works. This is the brand new space, much larger than the old one. I was speaking with the librarian at the circulation desk and we guesstimated that the whole 2 floors of the old location could fit in the ground floor of the new space! But, the new place has a second floor, currently under renovation, so it will be drastically larger than the former space. The children's area is separate from the main library space, with a glass wall to keep sound contained. This was great at story time with Mr. Jason, because the kids had their own place to be themselves. Singing, banging on drums, bubbles, etc. After story time, extra toys came out, and my toddler had a ball. Mr. Jason really gets into his stories, and the kids can't help but become as enthusiastic as he. On the way out, the librarian had chocolates and candy canes to give us, which was so sweet. I took tons of pictures of the new space but Yelp seems to have a problem with that, so you'll have to check the old page for the DOZENS of pictures they moved. I don't have time for the bs anymore.

Delaware County Library System (DCLS) is a decent system as far as suburban community libraries go…read more Is it Ludington Library in Bryn Mawr? No. Is it Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library? No again. But I would say those are outstanding examples of non-urban public libraries. Newtown Public Library serves its purpose, & is one of the newer, "nicer" libraries in the DCLS system. The building is clean, artfully designed, & full of cheerful light from large windows. This makes for a pleasant atmosphere. It is rarely quiet as a library should be. I don't know why none of the patrons understand how to behave in a library, but they don't, & no one working there cares. It is not designed with places for privacy either. Wish they cared about that. I have never been able to use them for academic study. Over the years I've searched the online catalog (pooling inventory in all DCLS libraries) by book /author /research topic, for various needs, but I never find much. I guess this is not the intended use of a civic library anyway, but a set of TCLCs in Reference would benefit even high school students. For other general interests, i-net research at home usually does the trick. As for more pop lit, we don't devour novels or bestsellers, & we do our periodical reading, again, online. We also buy a lot of used books on Amazon to meet most of our reading needs. So the library has been of use to us for other purposes... *If you are trying to do local academic study, I recommend getting a student membership to Swathmore College's library (which allows access to Haverford & Bryn Mawr Colleges as well), & allows you to check things out. U-Penn has a fabulous library, but you can't check anything out unless you have a Penn Pass. Back to DCLS... During our 84-hour power outage a couple years back, we were very grateful for the free computer/i-net usage. There are a few terminals right up front, & there is usually no one there, which is great. They allow you to print in black & white for a small fee ($0.05/page last we used it), or color ($0.15/page). Aside from power outages, we have had a printer malfunction, or have run out of color toner, & have needed to rely on Newtown Library in a pinch, which is much appreciated. We more recently went through a classic movie DVD binge, & found a lot of great titles in the DCLS catalog. We were able to easily order online from all over Delco, & pick up at Newtown Library when they arrived through inter-library loan. The snag was, the first two times we picked up our movies, they were free. The librarians on duty (two different ones) both told us that Newtown doesn't charge for movies, therefore there was no fee if it came from elsewhere (even if a fee was charged at other libraries). My understanding has always been that this is a free library system, so naturally we hadn't expected a fee in the first place. Also, this was never disclosed online when we ordered the films, so if they are going to apply unexpected fees, it would be appropriate to disclose this when you order. With all due respect, anyone who has NetFlix or Amazon Prime, etc. is able to access movies on their computer for free with subscription. The reason we would borrow library movies would be to view them on the larger TV instead. Some people are high-tech enough to wire their computer or device to their TV, but we try not to watch that much TV in the first place, so we have no such system. Therefore, the point of utilizing the library would be for the convenience of DVDs to view on our TV, & this would only be worth the week-long wait, the drive to/from the library, & the hustle to watch before return due date, if the movies were lent for free. If I am going to be charged for movies I can watch free online, AND I have a week-long wait, AND a drive to and from the library, AND have to hustle to watch before return due date, it is really not worth it. On the 3rd movie trip to Newtown Library, we were asked to pay for the movies. I explained what I had been told twice in prior visits about no fee. The manager was there that time & was surprised to hear that. One of the women present, who had told me this "no fee" information, was honest about what she had said. Unfortunately, her manager didn't seem to appreciate the woman's honesty, & kind of gave her a look for it. I offered to just pay to be done with the argument, & the manager told me to "Just pay when you return them," as if that were some kind of gratuitous prize, instead of further inconvenience for me (I would rather pay & be done with it than have to remember tedious bs for a week). They require cash too, so add a trip to the ATM to your long list of hassles. So the movie RENTAL business they have going on there is worthless to us, and, I would venture to say, anyone else with a computer. I would rather be asked to pay a yearly fee with my library card than have to nickel & dime with them over movies, & fuss with cash that I never use, each time.
