"Man, you're quick to get a library card!" says one of the employees as I tell her that I've been…read morehere three times since I moved to Roselle a week-ish ago. Yep. I FREAKIN' LOVE LIBRARIES! It keeps me from having to spend money on book/DVD/music entertainment and cluttering up my shelves with things I'll only use once or twice. Plus, the smell of books within a beautiful brick building really does something for me (man, if only my husband and I could have a romp in the stacks). So, a library that gives you a free book when you sign up for a card? SWEET! When I signed up for a card a few days after I moved here, I received a copy of "Rocket Boys" (the book that inspired 'October Sky') along with a brochure highlighting all the library events in October (and man, there's a ton of them!). This may be the first library where I've actually paid attention to the free events they offer. And they gave me a book I'd actually be interested in reading at some point. Major props for that. Roselle's library is a bit on the small side, with a smaller selection than I'm used to, but at least they have the basics -- books, DVDs, CDs, magazines, whatnot -- and a nice youth section upstairs. All the people that work here are very personable and made me feel right at home. This is the perfect library for a sweet little town.

This library is fantastic! Large and beautifully laid out! The kids area is amazing and there…read moreare many areas with comfy chairs or desks to helps you study/read or whatever. I love that they have so many items you can check out that aren't limited to books. My absolute favourite part is the Innovation hub. Such a great space to be creative. Staff is amazing and will help you learn how to use the equipment. Yesterday I used the etching machine as well as the sewing machine. What a great resource!! They have sooo many different systems available for your use!

It was nice to finally be able to get to this library after wanting to visit for years…read more Specifically I wanted to take my daughter to their children's section since I've heard good things. There is a big fairytale theme at work here, which is immediately evident when you enter the children's area and see the little wooded forest there. There are several well-loved children's books represented here, like The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Winnie the Pooh, and others. There's a small funhouse mirror, a play kitchen, and so on. Outside the forest there's a light board, legos, and other toys. On the other side of the room (it's a pretty large children's section), the walls follow the fairy tale theme and look like castles. It's a really cute idea. I really appreciated that there's a nursing mother's room, and a dedicated bathroom right in this part of the library. They have a large room called the craft room! How cool that they have a space dedicated solely to that. When entering the library, there's a snack bar as well. Outside, there's a drive-up for returning books. Parking is huge; I would be surprised if they ever fill the lot. It's a cool library and worth the visit with your little one, and worth it for adults to take a look at their events.

this building is M.O.D. like 60's mod. but simultaneously futuristic…read more i was completely taken aback as i entered. i have never seen a library quite like this one. kinda made my mouth hang open. i got lost trying to find the ladies room because the black & white circle patterns were making me dizzy. no joke. (so while i was totally awe-inspired and impressed overall, of course i have to nitpick. that's what happens when you're "in the industry." meet me in the next paragraph if you're not interested in this little rant.) i did not like the youth desk; i felt like the staff were hiding behind this weird green panel. kids would have to go to either side to see them. and when standing in front of the desk, all you see is the green panel, oddly positioned, and noticeably NOT covering the many, many wires protruding under the desk from the computers. i really do not understand this design. some things i loved about this library: --the storytime room looks like the bottom of a rocket from the outside. totally cute. (nitpick: is there a way to get in without taking the stairs?) --they have a sort of enclosed outdoor space right near the storytime room. jealous! --wide, open spaces, likely with lots of little nooks and crannies to get yourself cozy in. --wonderful, helpful, knowledgeable, talented staff.

I love the concept of the Little Free Library, of its spirit, leave a book, take a book for free,…read moreof the community who supports this noble idea. Not everyone can afford books. Some have way too many around. It solves every book lover's problems. It's a great concept that spreads all over the city and the country. It spreads the love for books, the adventures they takes us on, especially when we need to escape reality like nowadays. It spreads the idea of the community where people help each other in various ways. I explore near by neighborhoods for walks during COV-19 and while walking around this beautiful hilly street I discovered a cute little wooden house that hosts a Little Free Library. I loved the area even more. Thanks for creating it. Leave a book, take one. Spread the love for books and for fellow book worms. The world got a tad better and nicer once I saw this Free Library. Made my day!

Physical Location: 654 Pennsylvania Ave…read moreSan Francisco, CA 94107 This was a great if not messy little location just around the corner from the Caltrain station. I liked the decor of the box, but both SF locations I stopped by were just bright without the extra touches you tend to find in suburbia, like a bench or stepping stones. This locale had some great fiction and bio novels, but nothing caught my eye. I loved how easy it was to stop by though if you take the train! Yay Little Free Library!
