The card catalog is pretty easy to use and I like the addition of the listing of bestsellers. Also- ebooks are available. Cool.

I feel like an update is called for, especially after reading a disgruntled 1 star review that is…read morevery subjective and not( in my opinion) representative of many patron's experiences here. While I sympathize with that person's situation, a bad Yelp review will not remedy those conditions, nor will it accurately portray how good this library is. Since my first review I have visited a handful of other NJ libraries and feel that this branch exceeds almost all of them. As with many things in life, it is the little details that matter. Starting at the entrance, and even at the exit doors( which are somewhat interchangeable ) you encounter book shelves containing FREE books. The subjects vary widely but I like to take a minute or two to scope out the selection. I have found some gems too!( most recently a very clean copy of Hawking's " A brief history of time") As another reviewer noted, there is almost always a book sale going on, the costs are about $1-$3,these books are in very good condition and are organized by subject or genre. As far as their book catalogue goes, most of my favorite fiction authors are represented, and the more contemporary ones are updated with their newer works in a timely manner. Older and critically acclaimed authors are also present, and their better known titles can sometimes be found with more than one copy. Recently I've been taking advantage of their DVD selection and find it to be much better than most other libraries. They seem quick to acquire new releases and many popular premium channel series are available. Skip RedBox and come here if possible. There are many programs and events to attend here as well, mainly for children but adults are not left out. They are now doing Saturday afternoon screenings of various movies, some for the whole family, with others being more R rated.( a recent screening of " American Pastoral" comes to mind) I have found the staff to be very friendly and often find myself discussing books, movies or authors with them. There are plenty of work stations, some with computers and others set up for you to use your own. And some pretty cool seating options too, think cozy couches and big Papasan type cushion chairs. Heck, there's even a table with a communal jigsaw puzzle awaiting completion. As I stated in my prior review, I hope that Mercer County residents and visitors utilize this resource. You might hear me complaining about how my tax $$$ are used, but not in reference to our libraries. 4.24 RIF Yelps

Can get loud since it's a small room and everyone can hear everyone so bring head phones if looking to study. They have decent collection of CDs and a few computers. Was impressed with the food pantry they have and community events listed on the board. Downside- limited hours and they open very late in the morning at 10:30am compared to nearby ones opening at 9/9:30am.

The building is an old church with amazing architecture and beautiful stained glass windows. The wrought iron accents were donated to the library and add to its character. There is a small parking lot and limited street parking due to construction. The library offers story time and craft activities for children including an upcoming Halloween experience. There is a book club for adults which I've included in my photos. In addition to books, you can borrow DVDs and audio books. There is also a nice sized collection larger print books. You can also use the online library to borrow digital books and audio books. You can put in a reserve or hold request for materials currently on loan if they aren't available. The library also ships and receives books from other Bucks county libraries if a request is submitted. The library offers a lot of services that would be unexpected to most! The biggest surprise to me was the seed share program! The details are in my photos. There are also over 25 museum free passes that you can borrow. These can be reserved but must be picked up in person. You also must have your physical library card to pick up passes.

The Greater Olney Branch of the Free Library of Philadelphia is always busy, most times SRO, and offers great service. If you need to use a computer, sign up is automated and easy with the use of a library card (available free at the check out desk with a piece of current ID). If you need to learn how to use a computer, staff can get you started or the librarian will help you make an appointment with a "computer buddy," a volunteer who will give you a pretty good introduction. If you're looking for that special DVD or CD, either its on the shelf or one of the friendly staff will order it in for you (takes about a week to arrive, usually less). Want three books listed on your kid's summer reading list for third grade? Ask the inimitable, dynamic children's librarian (if you can get past her ever-present fan club of children), Need Harry Potter or Stephen King in Chinese? They own copies. Need a translator? I've seen the librarians make a general call to the patronage in the room for help translating for a Spanish, Vietnamese, or Haitian patron and each time a volunteer has answered the call. For prompt service, diverse collections, an atmosphere of cordial respect and open-mindedness, no one is greater than Greater Olney Library.
