I've always been blown away by the service at the Norristown Public Library--the reference…read morelibrarians are tops at offering relevant, deep research if needed--and I am actually surprised that this is the first review. Anyway, I had new reason to praise the libe this week. I had an editing job that, unlike most others, required AP style--and the job was due today. Luckily, the Norristown Library had the three most recent copies of the AP Stylebook. Unluckily, we're in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, and most libraries take several days to make books available for curbside pickup, which would be too late for my project due date in two days. So I called the Norristown Library reference desk, explained that it was an emergency, and the librarian immediately found the book and made it available for me--in 15 minutes! Props to the reference librarian working the morning of 08-12-2020; she was professional and personable.

I love going to the library! This one has some nice modern technology, such as self-checkout, which…read moreis pretty convenient. It's also nice that the books on hold are in a separate section where you can go look for it yourself rather than having to get in line to ask a librarian to locate it. There's also free wi-fi, of course, and lots of new books every time I go in. I almost always end up picking something out to read, though I don't always end up reading it. In addition to books and movies and such, museum passes are available at the library! Probably not terribly common knowledge for the most part, but this library makes it well-known by putting all of the museum passes up front. The downside of this is that the ones I'm interested in are often out. They also don't do reservations for it, so that part can be rough. Besides that, though, I'm a fan of this location and will continue to go check out their new offerings!

PRO TIP: with a library card (free) you can rent /borrow digital books for FREE and read easily from your phone or iPad. I like the "Libby" app which makes it super easy! Another PRO TIP: you can reserve free family passes to museums around the area, including the Elmwood Park Zoo for FREE!

They've completely converted to curbside pickup and had some opening hours during the summer (with social distance and masks required), and they've done a lot virtually as well. During this different time when folks are spending a lot of time at home, it's nice to have them keeping media and books available for all to enjoy! No museum passes at this time, but they do have a nice selection that may be available again one day!

Free wifi, but it's quite slow. Coolest thing I've found at this library is that they have an annual pass for 2 adults and 4 children to the Morris Arboretum.

I will admit, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this library is VERY kid friendly. If you're not into kids and want more of a super quiet library-vibe, this location may not always suit your needs.

We especially liked the walking track around the large field hugging woods in parts.

If I lived in the area, it probably would be my favorite park for getting my steps in on a regular basis. The restrooms were closed for the season when we visited in late December.

I hope this review will prevent you from wandering into the elementary school at the old address, like I did. For parking, there are two handicapped spots and 6 regular spots in the front. Sort of hidden in the back of the building there are 11 more spots. If those are taken, you're left to fend for street parking on narrow streets in the vicinity. If you want to come here to get work done on your laptop, seating with nearby outlets is limited, and there are no quiet spots in here, so you'll need high tolerance from library banter coming from the kid area, front desk, and the section where they are playing mahjong and other such games. There's a chess board, unfinished jigsaw puzzles, and comfy old style furniture around. Basically, this place is more geared towards a community center type of place for socializing rather than a "heads-down", getting work done type of place.

I attended Montco from Spring 2015-December 2018, graduating officially last month in May 2019…read more Overall, it's a great experience. The tuition is affordable and they have payment plans, which is a life saver. They also offer many majors to choose from and many different classes to take, and for those who are undecided the liberal studies is a good major to start out with as they have many classes that are easy to schedule and can persuade you to the right major for you (many classes transfer to other majors but some don't for a heads up) and aside from a few classes I enjoyed every one. I started off in Liberal Studies and ended in the Mass Media major, and the program is amazing! The technology they offer is amazing, high end equipment that beats other schools hands down and the best recording/TV studios around. Not to mention all the clubs, which are great to join. As for the campus, it's beautiful to walk around especially in the nice weather. Most of the buildings are near each other in the main courtyard, only the Art Barn and Gymnasium are a bit away but not too far. Here's a quick breakdown of the buildings. College Hall is the main building where advisers/tuition services are held. If you need any sort of college help that's the place to go. It has two library's on two separate floors, a game room, a conference room for college fairs and other events, a large cafeteria with great food, a piano room and a tutoring center and a computer lounge on two different floors to get work done. There's also many places to study which helps too! Parkhouse is where the majority of core classes are held, and it can get crowded and some of the classrooms are a bit outdated but it's still great and it has a station to get food. The Advanced Technology Center (ATC) is three floors where are the technology classes are held and they mostly all require a student ID card to enter. This is where all the equipment is to rent out and where the TV/Recording studios are, which are all impressive. The ATC also has a food station too. This building connects to the Science Center where all science classes are held. This is two stories and is pretty straight forward to navigate. They have a large auditorium for plays/screenings and it's nice in there, and they even have their own box office! Then there's also the art barn which is where all the art/photography classes are at and its very nice in there too (I only had one class there but walking around the building is fun). The last building is the Gymnasium which they recently renovated. It's quite great in there, plenty of places to work out and hang out as well! There is plenty of parking too, on all sides of the campus so there is no shortage of places to park. If you ever get the chance to walk around campus, I recommend it. Being next to 202 and Morris road is helpful too as it makes the college very accessible to get to. The staff is mostly great. Of course you will get faculty that you won't click with too well but most of the teachers I had were great!! Now for the nitpicks. First, parking. Unless you get there really early or later in the day you'll miss out on a decent parking spot and it can get very crowded and back up midday when most people are leaving. Going out on 202 has a light and going the back way on Cathcart road is fine but Morris is a pain with the traffic (especially going left). They recently built a light here so that will get better. The advisers I all encountered didn't help too much, and the tutoring is at specific times so if you can't make it there's not much you can do. Tech Sevices, where you get all the film equipment is very good but it is closed alot because they are understaffed and the wait could be a while if you don't know where to look to find someone. Other than that, it's very good school to get your associates degree at and transfer over to another school. I very much enjoyed my time there and I dont regret a thing!!

We came back bright and early Tuesday morning around 8:00am and quickly discovered we weren't the only ones with the same idea. The line was already about 30 people deep, and by the time they opened at 8:30, that line had easily doubled. Once we finally got inside, things moved along pretty efficiently. We checked in, were given a number, and waited about 15 minutes before our number was called. The woman who assisted us was pleasant, reviewed all of our paperwork, and sent my son over to one of the computers to take his test. Fortunately, he made quick work of it and passed. We then had to wait to be called up again to finish the process, but everything went smoothly. All told, once we actually got inside, the entire process took just under an hour. That's not too bad considering government paperwork is involved.

My STRONGEST my strongest advice is to read read read and be sure you have the documents that are needed for your type of transaction. I advised this due to personal experience.,lol. Generally speaking, allow several hours. Don't try to squeeze an appointment in before work or at lunchtime. Yes there may be times when it's not busy, but you don't wanna take that chance. And finally, when you get up to the desk inside the door be the first person to say good morning or good afternoon or anything pleasant to the person behind the desk. It's magical you will see and continue doing that with each and every person you have to encounter. Overall, my visit was about one hour and 45 minutes. After the initial check-in after I received my number, I had to see an agent to review my application that I filled out after checking in at the front. Upon Kia's review and payment, I was then sent back out to the waiting room to wait for my turn for photo and photo drivers license. I did not need the real ID. I will say when I got to the photo desk, I was not acknowledged by the agent, but as soon as I said hello, my name is Sue what is yours , again It was magical! Another wonderful experience with Leonora.
