The library it self is fairly small in terms of number of books but i guess the town is pretty small. It has computer for use and free wifi which is a huge plus. They do not hace a lot of travel books which i like to check out. There is plenty of comfy chairs to read or study. It's not noisy usually and staff is friendly. Note that there is no cell phone use in order to keep a quiet environment for others. They do enforce this. It's understandable but annoying if you just need a quick call. There are a few secluded places where you can relax with a good book or study for a test.

I love this library! I joined the knitting group on Wednesdays and it's so much fun. Thea, the…read moredirector, has lots of ideas and keeps the event calendar full of fun activities. Contrary to the reviewer who claims children aren't "safe" here, it is very family friendly. There is a filter on the computers so kids can't accidentally access adult-only sites. Anyone over 17 is able to bypass the filter, but the policies for internet access very clearly prevent patrons from accessing inappropriate material. Oh, and they have books too! :)

While small, it is charming, efficient in its use of space, a hub of this small town's life (great to see youngsters and teens in here reading and studying!), and utterly nostalgic.

In terms of a small-town library, you can't get much better than this one! And if you ever need a dose of classic New England Americana, Lenox is the place to visit and this library is a great place to start!

The Phoenicia Library's logo is the best. It features a bespectacled bear in an Adirondack chair,…read morereading a book. Really, what's NOT to adore about that? Due to a fire several years ago, the library recently underwent major renovations and looks brand spanking new. There are two floors full of books and DVDs, and the rooms are bright with lots of light and wooden floors. There were plenty of folks sitting in chairs and reading and also a bunch in a back conference-like room. If you enjoy fishing and ukuleles, you're in luck. Ukuleles are available to borrow, and the Phoenicia Library also has the unique Jerry Bartlett Memorial Angling Collection which is worth checking out, on the second floor. We spoke with a couple of librarians, and they were quite friendly and helpful. There is a bathroom off to the side of the circulation desk. Offering lots of books and activities, if I lived in Phoenicia, I'd be a regular fixture at the library, no doubt.

In the site of the Watt's DePyster Fireman's Hall in Tivoli, NY, lies this mediocre-sized library…read more Although my brothers have been going in there from time to time, my first time into this library was today. Although I wasn't overly thrilled at seeing the inside, but I know it's someplace to return to if all my former sources of Internet have been taken up and I'm in desperate need. The library may look big when viewed from outside, but it's not when you head inside. From the outside, what you are seeing is actually one of three "departments" inside this 2-story building. When you look inside this library, they don't have many computers, and the computers they did have today, were all full of other people. Overall, the remainder of the library wasn't overly crowded, but was awaiting a book-sale presentation about "Mysterious Creatures" in New York State (near Kinderhook, NY more or less). Anywho, when you look around the library, the walkways are not very wide, and are not suitable for any wheelchair accessibility to get through, and the steps leading into this library prove that there is no other accessibility in. (The back entrance is no better.) Even then, the large print books are merged sporadically throughout the library, and mixed into the regular books according to call number. They are marked however, so don't get this review wrong. Personally, if they designated another single section for just these "special" books, they can be better found for those who have trouble seeing. The weirdest thing was there's another bookshelf filled with a few more books across the alleyway that seemed to contain about 50 books I bet the EMPLOYEE'S DON'T EVEN REALISE are over there. Overall, I wouldn't mind going back there when I need a place just to read, but to actually find a book or empty computer seat to type up documents, you're best off going to other sources.

It also has the latest fiction, computers, public wifi, and extensive online resources including materials for college preparation, genealogy studies, and language instruction. The new book section is full of great finds. The library offers English as a Second Language, watercolor classes, story time, and many other special programs. Their kids book section is beautifully arranged. The local paper is always on one of the round wooden tables, and there are lots of magazines to read. The sunlit back room is a great place to do a project and gaze at the Schoharie Creek. You might find a book to keep on booksale days. There's always something of interest such as student and local art displays in the library's two large show windows overlooking Main Street. Check it out!
