Wall Library is a branch of the Monmouth County public library system. It has been a staple for me…read morefor over 20 years. The place is spacious with plenty of nooks to grab a desk and get into a stack of books/newspapers/magazines or the Internet. One can book a room to have a meeting with the library's approval. There are frequent meetings and lectures you can attend monthly. All events are listed online and are posted at the main desk. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. All branches have a wide variety of movies that are either in stock or can be reserved on CDs.

They also have free wifi. Friendly staff and great selections, life can't get any better than that. Went into the children's area because that's where their bathroom is. Met the children's librarian as she was doing a craft with the kids. She told me she's only there on Thursdays. She reads and usually does a craft with them. She's very friendly and really good with the children.

This of course happens when i listen to lighter stuff like classical but I shouldnt have to turn on loud music just to drown out the laughter and super loud talking from staff down stairs. I heard the manager("big" white woman with black hair and glasses) bad mouth a patron as well. This is not the best branch to go to if you want to study. Some of the staff at the front desk on the first floor are a bit brash as well.

However over the years the librarians have always been very helpful when trying to find that Michael Connelly or John Sanford novel for instance. They don't have every book created yet they will attempt to get it from other Monmouth County Libraries and notify you when it arrives. When the Monmouth County Libraries don't have it they will try to get your book from neighboring counties. They go the extra mile. That and friendly service makes it a great place to frequent.

The DVD and audio selection is equally as great. There is a meeting room where monthly activities and clubs are held, too. There are special spaces for children, teens, and adults. Lots of tables and study areas, and some public computers for free usage with your library card. You can print, fax, and copy for a small fee and even get books shipped in from other libraries. Great place to go to study or pick something out.

I love a good library, and Upper Shores is a wonderful asset to the community! My nieces have been…read moregoing here for years to check out their summer books - we have a summer residence in SSP, and Upper Shores is a short car ride (or bike ride) away. Recently, we spent some time here on a rainy day to just read and chill out. First, if you're an avid reader, Upper Shores has a great selection (both in person and online) of books. The library does appear a bit on the small side, but don't let that fool you! In addition, the staff will be happy to order you a book on loan from another library and they're usually there within a day or so. Their loan time on Libby (which you should all download for e-books and audiobooks) is 21 days which is better than my local library at 14 days. The app is also a coinvent way to look up and place a hold on desired books so they can be ready for pickup. As I mentioned, I also spent a wonderful afternoon here with my nieces. We parked ourselves in some comfy chairs and read for a few hours. There is plenty of space to do just that - and I was pleasantly surprised with the free phone charger locker that fast-charged my phone in a matter of minutes. I also know they have a great selection of programs available for kids throughout the summer, too! One thing I will say: it is very difficult to get a library card here. Only tax-paying residents that show proof of address can get a card here. Therefore, my parents are entitled to a card but I (as a member of their household) am not. The same goes for my nieces - even though they are in elementary school, they are not entitled to a card as a member of their parents' household. So I registered my mom for a card and am using her number to take out books. The staff kindly but firmly talked me through this whole process. I understand why, however - there are so many transients in the area, I can see a vacationer borrow books and never give them back. You are entitled to a guest card for 10 dollars if you aren't a taxpayer, however it's only good for four weeks. Regardless, library are important cornerstones of communities, and I am very happy to use / support Upper Shores!

I utilized the library for their work space since I work remotely. They had great internet speeds and plenty of outlets for charging. The restroom was clean and they have one large meeting room. This library is nice as it has a parking lot and there is a baseball field right behind the library. The beach is two short blocks away I spent my time between listening to the waves and working from here.
