East Fishkill Community Library

The EF library is nice in that they have the newest paperbacks and hardcovers available, programs…read morefor adults & teens, storytime for the kids, and tables for tutoring. However, due to all of the above, its also the loudest library i've ever been to. Trying to sit and read or study is very difficult as the patrons AND the librarians speak at normal tones, often while on the phone or cellphones. The librarians are helpful and the size of the library is cute but the set-up leaves much to be desired as its impossible to find a quiet corner. I'm giving it 3 stars because of all the activities and programs that are available which make it a great community center; otherwise I'd give it 2 stars for its loud, un-library-like atmosphere.

Rating based mostly on WiFi attributes: recently they revamped the WiFI area so there's now plenty…read moreof places to plug in your laptop. However, wireless speeds are very slow and the library is quite noisy. Better off buying a $2 cup of coffee and going to the Fishkill Starbucks. Edit: Bumped from three to four stars. WiFi speed seems to have improved somewhat (or maybe I'm more inured to the slowness), and I'm kind of used to the noise by now (plus, if BYO headphones and music are good enough for Starbucks, why not here?) [it should be noted that there are some loud day-trader-type assholes at times treating it like their own personal office] Heh, plus they have a Keurig machine where you can buy a cup of coffee/tea/cocoa, a nice touch.

I have been coming to the Marlboro Free Library for over 20 years, primarily for the use of their…read moreCommunity Room. This library, and the people who work there, are really great. I've got my own library locally to visit for books, reference material, periodicals, media, etc., but if I lived in Marlboro I'd be at their library often. Besides a good inventory of books, there's several dozen periodicals available, a movie library, several computers, and more. In this age of ever-increasing dependence on digital, they're keeping current. But what I really like is that they have a large children's area - it's important to get children interested in reading (and libraries) at an early age. They have 2 large parking lots which can easily hold regulars and folks who might be attending a function in the Community Room. The bathrooms are always clean and well-maintained too. The Community Room has enough space, tables, and chairs to accommodate several dozen people. Multimedia services are available. There's also a side prep room with a small but full-service kitchen. I've always found the staff of the library to be extremely friendly and helpful. You should take advantage of their occasional fund-raisers, such as their book sales too.

I love this library! The librarians are always pleasant and helpful. The children's room is…read morewelcoming and comfortable-books are beautifully displayed. There are computers and a printer for public use. You can pick up dvds and audio books. The library also has an online catalog that is extremely convenient. You can get anything you need through inter-library loan. They also offer classes and children's programs. This library is a great resource for the community. Every time I visit I see people of all ages using computers, being tutored, selecting books, it makes my heart happy!
