Since we were in Ridgewood for lunch on a bright sunny day, we decided to take trip to the station…read moreto look at some trains. It is a nice old style building but has lots of signs of aging. There's a beautiful green garden alongside the platform. The Franklin Ave entrance has an elevator as well. It is mostly clean. The platform is covered under a shade for the most part, but at both ends it's under open sky. There are some fences and two closed glass stalls that has heating facility, great for waiting in winter times. The tracks have clear marking of direction of the trains. There are monitors showing the wait time of upcoming trains. As we were exploring 3-4 trains stopped by, meaning they were pretty frequent even on a Sunday. We all had a fun time here looking at the trains arriving at and leaving the platform.

But there is something about the feel, smell and heft of a book that makes me want to read it -- I never could get used to the electronic versions. Our 8 year old takes me here every week to re-up on books -- for both of us. We make sure to ask staff about their collection and our needs -- they are pleasant and knowledgeable and aim to please -- and get us sorted quickly and efficiently. I especially like the email reminders about due dates - whatnot. Overall, this place strikes a perfect balance between the analog and digital worlds and in that respect, it appeals to my sensibility. Plus -- I really like the coffee bar on the lower level. When my caffeine level drops to the point in late afternoon where my eyelids stop twitching, it helps right my boat!

There's a lot of seating throughout and you should be able to find a quiet spot. They have the newer self checkout kiosks now so you don't have to chit chat if that's not your thing. The librarians do seem friendly though. The cafe isn't open past 6 on any day but it seems to have sandwiches, soups and baked goods; there are a few tables to sit as well. Parking lot is large and shared with the municipal building. An easy walk into town for food and shopping.

Glen Rock is surprisingly friendly and accessible -- right down to the parking situation. Came to straighten out some vital records issues on a weekday afternoon. Folks here are knowledgeable, friendly and digitally savvy -- so you can email your inquiry in advance and your request will be made available for pick up -- in my case the very next day.

Not much overhead coverage if it rains, but there is an awning over the ticket booth, if it's a downpour. Train coming back from NYC will drop you off on the opposite boarding side, so just cross the tracks once the train passes (obviously) to get back to the parking lot. Faster than the NJ Transit bus (which I stupidly did for too long) to get to NYC.
