I came in on a Friday night 5 minutes before they were supposed to close. As a new resident to Haddonfield and an avid reader / audiobook listener, I was anxious to finally sign up for a card. The ladies at the front desk were very accommodating and got me signed up quickly. I was able to grab the book I wanted while they finished inputting my info into the computer and I was out of there quickly. I popped in a few days later to return the book and grab two more. Again, nice staff and very convenient. Online, I can get to my account and look up book availability and see when my books are due. I am not looking to live inside the library so can't comment on how comfortable the reading chairs are; I guess my priorities are different. read more

I have been a Haddonfield resident for 18 years. I visit the library regularly. Today I had an unpleasant experience at the library with the director Eric Zino. He was extremely disrespectful, scolding me like a child. He was horrible dismissive and tapped his foot at me in agitation. I left there embarrassed. It was the most unhelpful experience I have ever had at the library. I have never been treated so unkindly at the library. read more

The library just had a zillion dollar renovation. The building looks nice now. The terminals for material lookup (the card catalog) are awkwardly placed. The staff is frequently condescending towards patrons. I simply leave when a certain staffer is there There are brand new chairs throughout the building. They were purchased from Marquis de Sade Inc. they are the sort of chairs that challenge you : go ahead and just try to be comfortable. Bwahahaha. Seriously, sit in these awful things for more than a minute. I dare you. Right now I'm sitting in the Camden county library on Cuthbert in a modest inexpensive COMFORTABLE chair. How much do I pay per year? $800? Jeez read more

The librarians are extremely pleasant and helpful, and the library has a terrific, academic atmosphere with a large selection of items to choose from. read more

After reading the two reviews on yelp, I felt I should lend my two cents. Not only are the chairs uncomfortable but they are usually occupied by very unclean looking individuals. These chairs are made out of fabric and any dirt/bugs would remain on the fabric. The second issue with the employees is that there is one female employee that acts as if you are bothering her when you ask a question. The other employees seem to be very nice and helpful. read more

The five stars are because I have great affection for this library and rely on it very much. I always find fascinating reads there. I must mention, however, that I find it appalling that someone would find it appropriate to have a nonstop conversation on their cell phone while walking through the stacks - how inconsiderate can you be? I'm talking about a very grown person here - not a teenager. If I encounter that again, I will definitely say something -as no one else found it objectionable. read more

I love the library. The people who work there have been uniformly friendly and accommodating. I like the shelf that lends books for an indefinite period of time. It lets me read at a slower pace. I also like the ease in looking up a book both online and in person. There seem to be many new offerings. I took two classes and enjoyed both. One small thing...I wish there was at least one genealogy magazine left. The magazine section is poorly organized...but helpis always available. read more

I have to admit I only go to library because of my kids. I imagine it should be the place that you would love to spend time and not because of the comfort of the chairs, the color of the walls etc. In my personal opinion is the people that work in there. I went there a lot of times in the late hours and I always encounter the same woman at the desk, very dry, no greeting of any kind unless she knows you well (I experienced this myself). I would understand if that will be one time episode. I agree with Gene D. "simply leave when a certain staffer is there" but on the other side should I pay the taxes that I do living in this town for this kind of service?! read more
