Horrible staff. Will never be coming back…read more Went to meet up with other classmates to study for our doctoral program midterms. We booked a room for 2 hours and then another friend booked the room for the next 2 hours. The librarian came in - Marry, and told us she CANCELED our second reservation, once we checked in for the second reservation, and told us we had to leave, because another group had the room... We were not being disruptive and were simply studying when she interrupted and was so RUDE. She really must have been having a bad day and took it out on three 20-something-year-olds. Extremely rude and unkind. Do not go here waste of your time and not even a great space! AND you have to bring your own HDMI cord... weirdd

Books they don't have, you can often borrow from other libraries in the network. All of the librarians have always been friendly and helpful. Also there have been many times when my home printer wasn't working and it was a lifesaver to be able to come here and print my documents at a cheap price. It's also a relaxing place to just sit and read a book!

The staff were amazing -- very friendly and helpful. They guided me to the section I needed, helped me find and even hold the exact book I was looking for, and answered all my questions with a smile. Everything in the library worked perfectly, from the checkout process to the seating areas. The vibe of the library is calm and welcoming -- a perfect place to read, study, or just spend some quiet time.

This library has added a couple of additions throughout the years. It's large and very clean. The staff is very friendly and seemed to be very knowledgeable. There are three main floors to the library and computers abound, various reading rooms and a large conference room for private meetings. ESL meets twice a week to help people learn English as a second language. It's a free course throughout the year. Other civic events take place during any particular month, but are too numerous to mention. Restrooms are gender neutral. Most nights the library is open until 8PM. Read something, knowledge is good!!!

Here's the thing, Since I moved to NJ, both of these Gov't facilities have been pretty easy to work with, fast and the staff friendly.... I KNOW!! Anyway- Mini-Me "misplaced" her Social Security Card and we decided to head to this location at 11:30am, no appointment, no call ahead to see if they were packed, we just walked in, looked around- it was standing room only, no seats it was PACKED!! we took a number and waited- this was gonna be alll dayyy longgg- hours and hours, this is what nightmares are made of- but NO!! a whole 15 minutes passed and our number was up on the LED board and we were being called to the window-- that's right 15 minutes!! I seriously couldn't deal, it was incredible. Mini-Me handed in her paper, ID's and that's it, The Social Security lady behind the bullet proof glass window, told Mini-Me her card would be sent to her in the mail and she would receive it in a week or two-- but no, exactly 3 days... it was in the mail.. again, amazed.

Zero stars from me. I love our men and women in uniform. They are our everyday heros. Except one…read more A Howell police Sargent by the name of officer John. This man is the most unprofessional and aggressive officer I've ever had the misfortune to deal with. I'm in the middle of filling complaints. With his superior and then internal affairs, because we all know it's not going past the howell police department. Back in Sept of 24 I was assaulted and called 911. He was the officer who responded. Alone. And he completely dismissed any and everything I had to say... he accused me of being the aggressor and I most definitely wasn't. But he refused to hear me out. He cussed in my face, called me a lair, threatened MY freedom then the man drove off and left me standing there with the man who just assaulted me. He said "if I have to come back here, YOU'RE going to jail. " so the other 4 times I was assaulted by the SAME person I didn't call. I was scared I was going to be called a lair and arrested. The 5th time I did call 911. I had no choice, it was really bad. AGAIN, officer John took the call. He was incredibly rude and dismissive, he laughed in my face when I told him that the guy said he was going to blow up my car, he refused to give me his badge number... I told him to leave, he scares me and I'd like to speak to a non bias officer. He refused. He wasn't even going to talk to the man who assaulted me. I had Two witnesses that seen it happen. He didn't get their names or birthdays. And again. He left me with the man who tried to kill me. He randomly drives by my house for no reason, I live on a dead end.... one way in. One way out... he asks people if I still live here.. I've repeatedly told this horrible little man to stay away from me but it has become harassment. I turned in a complaint to the judge with my ppo on my ex..(the assulter) I've talked to the deputy chief about his actions over the phone.... yet he still finds a way to use his authority to scare me. I've completely had it with this guy. This started on September of 24 and hasn't stopped. He pulled my friend over in my car thinking she was me... had absolutely no probabal cause... he was just trying to find a reason to arrest me. They asked her for her license. Saw she wasn't me and told her she could leave..... um. Wait. What!? That's abuse of power, harassment and just plain trickery.... that's not ok. Idk what else to do. How do you fight the dirty cops?? I live a bad area. We need to be able to count on and trust our officers of the law. He's the only cop in my 43 years on this planet that makes my skin crawl because I know he's just out to get me. I am a good person. I work hard I'm a single mom of three I pay my taxes and I do my best to stay in my lane. I'm the one who called 911.. I was in fear of my life for months because of him. He is an awful man/cop and gives the good ones a bad name. I will not stop telling my story until it's been heard. I'm sure when he hears about this review he'll be right over here looking for any reason possible to take me in. The man needs to be demoted to the howell police department janitor. He has no business wearing a bage and disgracing the rest of the good officers out there. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I hope others have the guts to stand up against him. The only reason he scares me is the abuse of power he's so good at. That's not a fair fight.
