The passport stamp, which is every library is handing out a unique sticker and after visiting all 37 libraries in Erie County, and if you are the first 1,000, will receive a gold library card. It goes from May 1 through Aug. 31., 2026. The library is cute and features a red Adirondak chair out front that is the perfect size for a giant. I also got a packet of bean seeds that will hopefully flourish in my garden. There was a sign near the entrance that also showed all the amazing things you can check out of this library that didn't include books. I noticed immediately the glockenspiel and a ukelele. Pretty cool. There is a large parking lot.

I was there in early May when everything is just starting. They had a little library book sale and I picked up a David Sedaris book for a quarter. There is a great children's section. There is also a wonderful remembrance area for Flight 3407, in the back. This library also had a cute Sherlock Holmes display case that was donated to the library. This library is clean and beautifully maintained. The librarians were friendly as well. There is a large parking lot. For a Friday afternoon it was quite busy. They had a great work area for people wanting a quiet space.

Plus they were open later, which is convenient for us. So after work, off we went. The Clarence Library has plenty of parking in a big lot, which was light-and-bright on a cold, dark night. As soon as you walk in, you can see the full expanse of the vaulted, open space. It is a nice-sized library, with well-marked sections. Movies are to the right, adult books to the left, teen and children materials in the back, periodicals in the back-right corner, with all the other sections you'd expect to find at a library somewhere in between. There were computer workstations spread out in pod-like setups throughout the space, a few together in each pod, and some chunks of seating areas too. It took me a minute to find my Harry Potter items, as the books were not in Youth or YA, but rather in a separate "Series" section in the middle of the library. And the movies were in a separate "Family Viewing" section, too. But a friendly librarian helped me find everything that I needed, which was all in stock. Clarence is a very nice, bright, inviting library. When we need something and the hours/availability are convenient again at Clarence Library, we'll be back! :-)

When I walked in, there was a bagged craft immediately there for all the kids who are interested in crafting based on books. Their children's section is also very large and provides some play items as well. There are many computers for use as well.

There's a large children's section including play area. Large collections of DVDs organized by genre (with some Blueray), CDs, non-fiction (which is very well labeled), teen and graphic novel sections, fiction, and new books called out separately. They also have a small room that's an ongoing book sale and prices were good. Librarians were friendly when I was there. I really like the elevated ceilings, decor, and size. I used to come here often 15 years ago and much hasn't changed since then but the library is still in good shape. Would come back here to work, study, or read a magazine.

I was at Island Park, which is behind the library when I remembered I had a book in the car that I had to return so popped in here. The librarian behind the desk was very nice and wanted to make sure I was aware of the new rule about books being 'quarantined' for 72 hours before being checked back in. Good to know incase you look on line and think your book hasn't been properly returned. I already knew it but still nice that they point it out. Side note, the 72 hours will not make your book late if you go beyond the return date. As I said, very small but comfortable and if the book you want isn't there you can always order it. Just limits your 'browsing' for a book. Still worth visiting.

On top of that check out the events on their website or social media, they have so many free activities for adults and kids alike, from art activities to movie nights to so many more.
