I love to visit libraries! This library was very modern. It had a good set up for books and a great…read moreselection. There were lots of places to sit and read the lighting was good. There's a small area on the second floor, where you can sit and read and also has vending machines. My favorite part was a used book room That had lots of books for $1 or $2 It also had DVDs for sale It was a great spot to take a break. I was also able to find two books to buy The staff were very nice

When I saw the book sale sign, I figured they'd have a couple of shelves with tired old volumes…read more Nope! A room-and-a-half filled with nearly new books and DVDs -- (do people still use DVDs?!) -- all clearly categorized. If there are children in your life, check out the kids' section with more than reading matter for sale. Cheap, too. Ludington isn't my home branch, but we come for museum passes. If you live in Montgomery County, you can check out 3-day passes to a host of museums and venues in and around the area. We've been to the Audobon Center, the Shofuso Japanese house, several small zoos ... all free! Today's visit: the beautiful Woodmere Art Museum. Ludington Library is spacious and nicely laid out with ample places to relax, read, and even (quietly) chat with a friend. Parking is sometimes tricky on Saturdays with the farmer's market across the street. But otherwise their lot is adequate, even with a two hour time restriction. Libraries have evolved significantly since I was a kid. They always were, and continue to be, an important community resource. Ludington is a good one!

They kids section in the basement is a huge hit with my kids and even their daycare comes for story time occasionally. I'd donate money to them but my wife more than makes up for that with the amount of fines we pay for late returns. Not enough wonderful things can be said about their staff. Always helpful, always kind... So happy to have them as a cornerstone of our community.

Dating back to 1926, the Ardmore Library is small, charming and the oldest in the county. Despite its size, you're not restricted by what's there; you can go online and reserve books from any local branch. Two things in particular struck me: 1) if there's no hold on a book, it automatically renews -- with a few exceptions -- after three weeks. Apparently, this will happen twice. 2) you can go to the library and get free three-day passes to participating museums and gardens. Have a back-up, since there are a limited number of passes, sometimes only one per library per venue. The people working here are very nice and in a city where one should know how to parallel park -- that wouldn't be me! -- the library has a parking lot.

Beware...if you need to focus, you're rolling the dice. Sometimes it's good and other times it's…read morefrustrating!! Seems like it's gotten worse. This has to be the most inconsiderate customer population in the surrounding area. Why do people feel they need to have conversational talk--in person & on cell--in a library!! Don't bother taking to the staff, totally useless on this issue. They don't want to hurt snowflakes feelings. I've talked to the staff in person and sent numerous emails/feedback submission thru the BCLS online system. Will it hurt to place simple table signs to keep your tone to a whisper and no cell phone conversations (only in the lobby area). I'll be satisfied with a regular announcement on the PA, at least your brain will zone that out over a short period of time. I think I will start a campaign, take and post a picture of self-centered, inconsiderate, and annoying people so I can share it with the library staff as evidence to change their policy and enforce it.

The librarian that we always see is amazing She makes my nephews day. The librarian today (who's desk and computer where facing the sitting area where the marbel run is, not the computers for library patrons.) was not a lovely person to meet. So when we met this librarian to ask her for marbels for the run, she had spilled beads allover her desk the floor ext. My nephew did not hesitate to help got too big hand fulls for her it was cute. She then went on to ignore us as she picked up every bead. Then when she finely helped us(shoving her hand in her desk and pulling out 2 marbels shoving them in his face and saying you can have this) it was a disgusting, the diference in what i have always bin met with at this library was night and day. I explained that the other librarian lets him pic the marbels and also lets us take 4(We have never lost a marbel and if you want me to bring marbels just ask) so after agreeing she slams it on the tabel in front of my nephew like a child. so not to say this interaction with this "adult" killed the mood for my nephew, the marbel run he was asking to play with all week we played with for mayby 10-15 minutes because of this, then when my nephew gave back the marbels he came back almost crying because of the interaction, at another point he is siting on a chair by your back window and he puts his head in one of the small metal square(left and right bottoms of the window screen) cus he wants to crawl out the window rather then walk out the library past her. I had to carry my nephew out of Burlington County Library in not a fun way but to make him feel safe and wanted. And at the end of all this he told me "im done with the librery, i dont want to come back." And those two sentences are why you got this review. also that librarian should not be in the children's section if she is going to make children cry.

It's pretty large, at least four librarians on duty whenever I visit, and plenty of services for everyone's needs. One of the most impressive features within this library is the children's section. It's isolated away from where the adults and teens search for books, read and use the many computers that's available. The kids section has everything from activities, to books and videos, to several children's use only computers. The other thing that's great here is all of the classes offered and meeting space that's available in the conference room. I've seen everything there from seniors classes, arts and crafts, counseling classes, presentations, and even tax preparations. The ladies who work there are always helpful and are really good at getting you answers to your questions, and finding the books or forms that you may need. For a relatively small town, there are big things going on inside this building here.
