Online has a huge selection of ebooks and audiobooks you can download through Kindle, Ipad, and Adobe. The wifi can be spotty, but it's free so I never complain. The computers usually get taken quickly as do the study booths. The bathrooms are clean and the conference rooms are nice. Also, there's a good selection of music. The first floor children's area has more games than you can imagine along with a lizard!! Parking can be painful. The garage under the library is not recommended if you have a large SUV or truck. It gets really tight. Sometimes, it's just easier to pay for street parking.

They had a great variety of books and educational games/toys for children to act out and perform dramatic play. I also liked how they had information around the library for parents explaining the purpose of the toys available and how to best help their child with the activity. The staff was very helpful when asked about ebooks. Parking is limited - Welcome to State College.

I absolutely love the fact that they have a cafe attached to it, but it can definitely be confusing for a freshmen ( ive given one wrong directions thru the stacks, it was kinda fun :) ) LOL.. Jokes aside, there is always a quite nook or cranny ( if u look hard enough) , so that you can study. I usually go to the buisness floor to study over the weekends ( cause i know all the buisness majors are busy drinking starting thursday) :-) I havent really used their website much, so i cant comment much on that. Many many computers throughout the library,even in the stacks, which i think is awesome :-). They are usually not very anal about food if you bring something reasonable ( sandwich or something.. dont bring in thai curry or a pie of pizza, thats just rude guys)... although i do know that sometimes people order food and get it delivered to the library.. and they just eat in the student lounge in the basement. Love this place and im gonna miss it when im gone!!

Overall, it's a great place to study, and having a Starbucks on-site is a nice bonus. It would earn a higher rating if not for the limited weekend hours: the library closes at 7:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, which can be frustrating when you're working on a major project or preparing for an exam.

The Fredericksen Library has been one of the libraries I've taken my kids to for almost 12 years,…read moreand it continues to be one of our favorites. One of the things I love most is that the children's library has its own downstairs entrance, which makes it really easy when you're visiting with little kids. As soon as you walk in, the information desk is right at the front, and the self-checkout stations are conveniently located on the right, making grabbing and returning books quick and simple. The children's area itself is bright and welcoming, with tons of windows and natural light, which makes it feel open and calm instead of crowded. My kids especially love the play area, and there's plenty to keep them busy. Some of the highlights include: * Interactive wall activities where kids can flip pieces, match items, and move little balls through tracks * Puppet theater play * Interactive computers * A fish tank they enjoy checking on * A coloring area * A wide variety of books for different ages There's also lots of seating, which makes it easy for parents to sit and read while the kids explore. They host storytimes in the children's library, and there's also a separate room used for programs and events. Even when we're not attending a scheduled program, the play space alone easily keeps my kids entertained for an hour or more. Another thing I appreciate is how family-friendly the layout is. Inside the children's library there are two bathrooms with changing tables, which is incredibly convenient when you're visiting with little ones. There's also an additional larger restroom outside of the children's area with stalls and another changing table. Parking is easy, with street parking near the lower-level entrance and a parking lot available as well. Outside the children's library there's extra seating, and depending on when you visit, the library café is open with really reasonable prices for coffee and snacks, which is a nice bonus during longer visits. This is definitely one of those places where we can easily stay for a few hours between playing, reading books, and just enjoying the space. After visiting for so many years, it's still one of our go-to libraries, and I know we'll keep coming back.

The staff is always so helpful, kind, and friendly! From having to pay fines or even just asking a general question everyone who I have interacted with has been very helpful! The story times are also very wonderful! Amy who reads to the kids is always so positive, fun, and outgoing allowing the kids to really get into the story and songs to have a great time! They have story time two days every week & they are always so great! I definitely would recommend if you have a little one to check out the story times! What's also great about this library is that it is apart of the Cumberland County Libraries! So if you want a specific book, but it's at a different location you can still request it because of being apart of the county libraries! Definitely check this library out if you haven't!

There are board games for children to play, puzzles for varying age ranges, magnetic tiles and even a small slide for small toddlers.

My children enjoy spending hours here and it's very popular on rainy days among parents. I'm very glad I found this library!

The library was named after Amelia S Givin, obviously the benefactress of the library and a woman in the paper industry ahead of the time which was dominated by men. The library is constructed in Richardsonian Romanesque architecture, built with bricks and brown stones. Inside one can see "groups of semicircular arched windows, intricate carvings, and a semicircular apse". The latter is my favorite room, sporting 2 wheeled ladders attached to the rail on the wall. This is a great place to admire, reflect, and enjoy a quality quiet time.

The ambiance of this place is unmatched - it is saturated with character and will take you back to the days when information was housed in physical books and you had to search for it, instead of having it at your fingertips online. I held a book of poetry from the 1800s in my hands, and it was housed on an adorable shelf with a whole set of the books that were in the original library back before the turn of the 20th century. It's a unique combination of small and homey, while also being quite large. I can't imagine there being 100 people in this place comfortably at the same time, but if that's what you're looking for, you can go to the Bosler Library in Carlisle. This place is a vintage library experience, with all the benefits of being a part of the Cumberland County library system. I can't encourage you enough to check this place out - it was absolutely fantastic!
