The library is nice but DO NOT COME HERE if you plan on actually learning anything! THE STAFF will…read moreNOT BE QUIET! I literally asked THE STAFF to lower their voices as it echos throughout the QUIET ROOM multiple time! and instead of doing so, one of the desk workers who previously asked me to EXIT THE QUIET ROOM so that an employee can eat their damn lunch while I was STUDYING gave me an attitude for POLITELY asking their asses to lower their voices as we are in a library. This bozo then asks me to EXIT the Quiet Room AGAIN because she and her colleagues are UNABLE TO USE LIBRARY APPROPRIATE VOICES! I wish I could upload a recording of how loud and OBNOXIOUS they are so that those of you who see this could understand how insanely loud these Public Library working HAGS are! So again, if you actually need a quiet space to get some legitimate reading or studying done DO NOT COME TO TENAFLY PUBLIC LIBRARY! especially if you are a person of color because I am absolutely positive that if I was Caucasian that the response to me respectfully asking them to lower their voices so that I may study for an exam IN PEACE would have been received very differently. Nicely built establishment however the HAGS at the front desk need to be replaced!

Nice little library in Rockland county. But unfortunately, I had an extremely unpleasant experience…read morewith one of the library employees. I might be wrong, but I get the vibe that if you are not of a certain skin complexion or from the same area, then expect to be treated differently. This is mostly a predominantly white area and they like to stick to their own cliques and people and will let you know that you don't belong there. At least that's the vibe I get every time I visit. Of course it's subtle prejudice and you can't really call them out on it because there is no evidence. No evidence, no crime. But you will feel like a second class citizen if you visit this library. If you think there is nothing wrong and are used to the way you are treated here, I recommend you to visit other libraries in the area and see how much better of an experience you have when you visit there. Don't take my word for it. Experience it yourself! At the end of the day , its still a public library and we can't expect all libraries to be equally good, but it's just sad knowing that our tax dollars are going towards hiring people who aren't even competant enough to do their jobs nor aren't interested in providing a service without injecting their subtle prejudices into it. Respect your patrons and stop talking down to them.

The library is well maintained and has a beautiful outdoor patio and garden. They do a lot of…read moreprogramming and try very hard to create a great sense of community. I really enjoyed their summer reading program they offered this year for adults. My biggest complaint is with a few of the staff members. There are a few staff who are very rude and unhelpful. A few times I asked an older gentleman for help and he quickly responded in a rude matter, saying I can't help you. He wouldn't even try to ask a colleague or attempt to help me. I finally found a different librarian and they had to remedy the situation and teach their colleague the process. On the other hand, there are many librarians who are very friendly and helpful, but it doesn't go for everyone. In addition, they are very quick to accuse you of damaging books. The smallest tear or stain requires you to pay a large fine to replace the book. There is something called wear and tear that happens when books are lent out to people and that's the reality of a library. Overall, I am happy with the library and appreciate the resources.
