Well lit and bright, clean. The staff has been really kind and helpful. There's tons of computers,…read moretables, and seats to study at or just read. They have tons of things beyond books too! There's library passes, yard games, even a power washer. Lots of games and even baking pans. Really neat. I've noticed they even have events for kids/teens.

This is a great library because of the staff and volunteers. Hands down, they make this place…read moregreat. They breath life into the aisles and shelves. Let's count the ways: 1. Awesome CD collection - Ok. I get it. CDs are dying and downloads are rising. I am a raving fan of Spodify but not all my bands are on it. So there are some CDs I need to get to upload to iTunes. SPL helps me. 2.) Spectacular DVD section - another thing that has gone the way of streaming but most everyone still has a DVD player. They offer a nice taste of everything: foreign, documentary, independent and major studio. There's a nominal fee required but it's a pittance compared to the theaters. 3.) The Shelves - they do a nice job stocking books I enjoy reading in subjects that I'm passionate about 4.) The Delaware County Library System - I can request books and CDs from other libraries if Swarthmore doesn't stock it. And they are usually delivered quickly. Their website and ordering process is great. 5.) Their sales - used books, CDs, DVDs and delicious baked goods. Worth seeking them out!

It's a pretty small selection of adult nonfiction. There are games and the staff is very friendly. The adults section does have a place to sit and read or type. There's a magazine rack and good wifi. Very small room. Very clean. Plenty of parking.

Friendly and helpful staff! Always fun and creative activities for the kids, love it!read more

Great little library. The librarians are nice, inviting, and although small the environment is warm…read moreand quaint. They have a limited selection of books; but the library actually has one of those old school library feels. I see the librarians greet the children by name as they come in from school. I even see some of the librarians let the children use the phone to make personal calls. It is a fantastic place. I'm hoping that it sticks around!
