Most of the branches are open Sundays from October to April. I've always had a great experience with all of the staff at the various branches.

There is a large selection of DVDs (which are free to borrow on this county - just don't return them late!). One of my wife's favorite attributes here is the set of study tables in the back - away from the noise of the kids at home and a great place to focus when work needs to get done. They also have some great afterschool programs for the kids.

During COVID, I actually avoided this location because I thought the drive up window at Perry Hall…read morewould be a much easier option. So for the past couple months I've been driving out of my way to the PH branch. Two weeks ago I thought I would give the WM a shot. Mannnn I have been so wrong about them. You drive in, call the number on the sign and tell them your name and which parking spot you're in (this is really only necessary if they are bringing the books to your car). I thought it would take forever to get someone on the phone, but each time it was right away (my 3rd trip in 2 weeks, yes I'm a bookworm). Then you have the option to meet them at the front door with your books. It was less than 30 seconds of a wait time!! While I like the lazy option of not getting out of my car at the PH branch, this was just as fast and convenient (if not faster because PH usually has at least 1-2 cars in line already).

What I like about the Essex Branch: *Lot's of parking (it is part of a strip mall complex) *Access to all the books that the library system has to offer *Easy check out *The history about the branch that is posted on the walls. I spent a lot of time reading through these articles and information the first time I visited. So why only three stars? Namely, this branch is a lot smaller than the normal one I go to making computer access and comfortable seating more hit and miss. Also more hit and miss, if I'm popping in for a specific book there is less of a chance that they would have it.

This is my second favorite Baltimore County Public Library branch. The library is smaller than some…read moreof the other libraries in the county, but they make great use of their space with computer stations, quiet study rooms, activities, and of course a decent selection of books. I spent many Sundays here during my first semester of grad school. I never had any difficulty finding space in the quiet study rooms, and I found that the dedicated quiet space encouraged the quality of my writing for my weekly discussions and papers. The library also offers printing services for a very small fee. The librarians are friendly and kind, and remain knowledgeable about a wide array of books and other resources.

I've had multiple employees assisting me in finding a book that was on hold and misplaced while placing a second book on hold while also assisting my daughter who had her own questions that needed answered. *Interactive games and activities in the kids area. They have scavenger hunts, corn hole, puppets and a kitchen area as well as a castle my kids love to read in. *Summer events designed to get kids reading and exploring things. We've participated in STEM activities and "field trips" as well as the summer reading competition over the last three summers. *Large collection of adult and kids books, video games, DVDs and STEM items for checkout *Employee recommendations and new books highlighted as soon as you enter the building from the parking garage What I like about the Baltimore County Public Library system: *Easy to place books on hold using their app *Checkout is simple, so simple, my kids can take care of their own *Books from other libraries that are placed on hold will be sent to the library that is closest to you.

The outter reception room outside the main library hall is full of display cases with amazingly rare and incredible literary treasures.

I'd have truly loved to explore more of this architectural gem with its abundance of literary and historic treasures.
