    I grew up in Plainsboro and remember the "old" public library and the old old public library located with the municipal buildings. Then I went away for college and moved to California for work, seeing only glimpses of the construction of Plainsboro village during visits. During my last visit the village was complete and the library had found yet a new home. I decided to check it out because a friend was working there for the day and since I was supposed to be working remotely I thought I'd join him. First, since the entire village is new, the building is very modern and clean. Large glass windows, high ceilings, and hard lines make the place feel very spacious and sleek. In addition to the building just being new, I was happy to see a lot of the large paper mache figurines set up on the ground floor. They made me feel nostalgic since I remember them from when I was little. The library has 3 stories - the first floor has more open table/desk and computer station space in the middle, with stacks surrounding. The second floor has more of the stacks with private study/conference rooms along the sides. The study rooms are very comfortable and well set up with power outlets and a whiteboard. There were also small patches of "napping" or lounging spaces with interesting basket-woven seating. The third floor is mainly the children's area (pretty ingenious that they get their own floor), and there's an outside area with a quarter-life-size chess board and pieces! Pretty cool. All in all, I was duly impressed with the library and only wished it was here while I was still in school. This library definitely rivals nice college/university libraries and is very well suited for college students. Almost made me wish I was a student again just so I could work in this library.

    Rain or shine, I was always here to study!

    I love love love this place. I spent two years here. Literally every single day. Whether I had studying to do or an email to send out or just needed some peace of mind, this was my place. I would grab some coffee around the area and settle here until the librarian drove everyone out. I passed all my Dental boards just studying here. Never felt that peaceful. Love the conference rooms and the fantastic couches. This library gave me so much, that I wanted to give back too. I have been a Volunteer here since the last year and a half. The staff are warm and friendly. Everyone goes an extra mile to help you. Neera, Sharon and Maryann are my favorites. They are such wonderful people who love their job and do the best. Whenever I have friends over, I always drag them here to show them how lucky I was. This was and will always be my favorite place!

    $3.90 later I can say this library is A-okay. It was my own fault that I recevied a fee because I…read morereturned the books late. However, I was very happy with the selection of professional books and audio books. This branch reminds me of a grade school library in its appearance, ambiance and size. There are study areas, a community board and multiple reference computers. (Standard things) They have an online system that is linked to neighboring branches, and that expands the selection of books available to everyone. There is really not too much to say about this library but I do wish the lighting wasn't so dim. I used the cherry hill public library before I moved here and that location is certainly more modern. Its a nice branch, I see a lot of people having study sessions, parents brining their children and postings of local community activities. This location is a short distance from the princeton junction station and very easy to find.

    Okay, I came here to find the time my local library closes and read some really bad reviews so I…read morehad to chime in. First, lets remember that this is a public library, not a co-share office space that needs superior Wi-Fi. Its main purpose should be to cater to the local students whether your a baby or an adult. The library runs many programs that all ages can participate in. The library has sincerely nice people working here. I've never had to ask them about specific books because they can be looked up in the index, something that most elementary students learn and should know how to use. They have a wide selection of books. My kids of 8 and 10 spent hours picking out books. They have a decent selection of films, a small but appreciated selection of art books and lots of areas where kids come to get tutored and do their homework. Someone compared this library to the one in Princeton but that's really unfair. The library in Princeton has 1,000$ Louis Poulsen Lighting in the Kids section and original knoll chairs for their furniture. They have video games for rental and miles of books that can pretty much match most libraries in this country. Most local libraries will fall short in comparison. I've spent summers going to the Manhattan Library everyday; the big one and the little one. This library is perfect for this community and is a pleasure to visit on a daily basis. I just don't see the logic in out-of-town visitors, inclined to give a local library a bad review.
