I've always wanted to attend their toddler story time on Wednesdays but for some reason I'm working lol. With two reminders I was able to achieve my goal... Of course, I arrived early because there is off street parking and I didn't know where to go in the library. Story time began promptly with Mary the librarian and might I say she was animated and full of life. The class was packed with a bunch of babies/toddlers/running around at least (15). I honestly lost count of the children but my daughter and I had a blast. I was wishing the class wasn't over just yet... Go to the Hackensack Public Library....

My husband and I visited the Paramus Public Library for the first time over the weekend. We went…read morethere to see David Hamburger, an American fingerstyle guitarist and songwriter based in Austin, TX . His acoustic blues set was part of the library's Sunday Session Concerts series. We were pleasantly surprised to see a large audience gather that day at a library. Also, the room where the performance took place was really nice and the sound was good there - impressive for a library. I looked at their website a few days prior to the performance and saw that there's a lot of great programming at PPL. Paramus has a really nice public library - what a great resource for the community!

On an annual trip to NYC, I decided I would visit bookstores and take in all I could. B&B was right…read moreby my hotel, and I was delighted to find a comfortable room full of baseball memorabilia and a great variety. They specialize in 19th and 20th century English and American literature, which means you're going to see a lot of titles you're familiar with. I stopped in late in their day, so I wasn't surprised to be the only one there, but the team gave me space, answered very basic questions I had, and - gasp - LET ME TOUCH THE BOOKS. This is far from a stuffy environment, and when I finally convince my partner that I need that very expensive piece that has F. Scott Fitzgerald's music for Princeton, I know exactly where I'll go.

Well, 45 minutes later, I was still oohing and awing at the marvelous selection of first edition books they have to offer. This is the largest selection (aside from corporate-owned Bauman's) of rare books I've seen that include the dust jacket- a collectors actual dream. It's the biggest breath of fresh air to find a rare book store owned by a woman, and to be treated like a human being. I normally get side-eyed from rare bookstore owners and some of the conversations I've had sound like: "May I see the Portrait of a Lady in the case?" "All of these books are at least $100.00 and up." ".....I know." "Do you have any Wilde?" "The book about the woman hiking alone? That's too new to be in our shop, Barnes & Noble would have it." "I'm talking about the 1800s poet." "Oh." I take it personally because while I look like a millennial who doesn't know what she's talking about, I treasure my rare books like they're my children. Sunday stayed AN EXTRA HOUR at her store while I looked and answered all of my questions that I had, never making me feel rushed or unwelcome. After selecting a first edition Fitzgerald, she wrapped it in bubble wrap for my travels back home and gave me an updated book with all of the rare book sellers in the country.

This is my home library, and it's one of my absolute favorite neighborhood spots. This library's on…read morethe smaller side and attached to a neighborhood senior center but because it's nestled in a mostly-residential area, I've never struggled to find street parking. The smallness of the library means the self-service aspect of more modern libraries aren't available. Books placed on hold are kept behind the counter, so one of the librarians have to retrieve them AND check out all your books. I see this as a plus and a minus. Sure, my visits take just a little longer, but it means I have to have some human contact with every visit and that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, my favorite librarian is a bit of a visual genius. After a few visits, she's come to recognize me on sight and grabs my library holds the second she sees me coming through the door. You don't get that kind of personal service from a machine. While there aren't a ton of titles in this particular library, the interlibrary loan system works beautifully. I'll search for whatever book I need through the website and - if it's available at another location within the system - I'll receive it here within a matter of days. I've also come to appreciate the rich programming. There's a busy calendar of events for all ages from month to month, and there was a summer reading program this past summer for all ages, with raffles to incentivize reading. I was happily surprised to be one of the raffle winners, but even if I weren't, I would absolutely encourage locals to participate because there were trinket prizes just for reading a certain number of books. Though this library is small, the children's section is a delight, complete with a carpeted seating area... and a tree! It's fake, of course, but large and looming enough that it adds a ton of charm. This clearly attracts a lot of kiddos, which sometimes means the library loses its quietude with the squeaks and squeals of little ones. I'm not personally bothered by it, but possibly something to consider for patrons who need absolute silence.

The Staff member provided no proof other explanation , covid related or otherwise.
