Libraries can be one of the best places in a town. While Montvale Library is not the largest or the most bustling (the quieter the better, i say), it has a good selection of materials (books, music, games, movies, puzzles, magazines, hot spots), periodic events and book clubs, and some of the friendliest librarians around, just the types you picture. There are a couple private rooms and enough tables and chairs if you need to stay awhile. Like other library systems you can order materials from any of the bergen county system libraries. There's a private lot so parking is always easy. Closed on Sundays. read more
