Due to covidian times, the library has really gone downhill. It's now like a high-end library in a…read morethird world country. There are no chairs. The bathroom is closed. There is no inter-county library loan. Selection-wise, there are a few books I always check to see if a decent library has, and they have them, as well as Wii games and an impressive DVD collection, but the sense of community, of going to a library to do research or look at new books or whatever, is just gone, only adding to the anti-intellectualism America does so well. It's completely dystopian and disappointing. I know that libraries have to follow state mandates and are often the first things closed during virus surges, but this once-impressive library is just in a sad state.

Joseph Latham was deeded the land in 1713 from portions that had been "purchased" from Native Americans by the Proprietors of West Jersey. As of the 2010 Census there were over 18,000 people residing in Dover. There are 11 parks and Recreation Centers here and I'm proud to say that I've been to them all. The Community of Dover is centered around Blackwell Street and Features many Restaurants and Eateries primarily owned and run by Hispanics of various countries, offering their delicious ethnic foods. Haven't been to them all but I'm working on it. Dover is where Metallica performed their first show with lead guitarist Kirk Hammet. Yup I was there. The climactic scene of the movie 'the Wrestler' was filmed at the Baker Theater. Dover is referenced several times in the Soprano's. The Famous Cartoonist Joe Kubert (1926-2012) and Founder of the Joe Kubert School of Art. Along with his two sons Adam and Andy who are also Famous Cartoonists.

Parking lot behind the library with good numbers of spots for the small neighbors. I have been looking for library that accepts used books, and this one does. There are activities for kids and teens and adults, and learning programs for the community. I am looking forward to sign up their book club this Summer. If you are also looking for place to donate your precious books, and don't mind to drive to Northern Jersey, this cute library is a great place. The staffs are very friendly, and helpful, to help you enrich their treasure chest!

Starbucks may have amazing coffee, but you can't really work there comfortably if you have a call or just need to focus... so grab your drink and head over to the library you won't be disappointed!! This was a wonderful and well needed discovery. I was hustling back from the Newark Airport but couldn't get to my lodging back in time for a 10am scheduled call and just popping into Starbucks was just not feasible to have this call. So, I figured hit a library! Ugh, the challenge was on! I tried to pop into Denville library but of course there was yard work going on and they don't have any private study space and you can't be on a call/talking... and to add to my challenges... was down to 7% battery life on my computer for a 90 minute call... (Murphy's law has nothing on me) but thanks to an amazing Denville librarian workers mentioned Wharton offers this awesome setup so I had to check it out and could not be more surprised and appreciative for this life saving setup! Shout out to Denville for knowing about this and HUGE PROPS to Wharton municipality to putting this setup together! More municipalities need to consider this and follow Wharton's initiative! This is great even with this "Living with Covid and the new normal" it offers people to socially distance, be outside, be productive (by getting online) and also some quiet space, all the while not disrupting or adding more pressure to structural constricts of nothing having more space within the library building. Hats off to whoever thought of this solution! You rock!!! Also the library has ample parking and is a quick walk to other businesses on Main Street... so bring on the walk traffic... lots of close by eateries and shops! Wharton, NJ has top billing in my humble opinion!

(Not to mention, if you arrive near closing time, you're often glared at by the women who work there as if to say, "How dare you arrive so late when it's time for us to go home!!") My kids once went in when there were still about 20 minutes before closing and they told me the women at the front desk rolled their eyes at them and snickered something under their breath. (Way to make your patrons feel welcome!) We recently went to the Denville Library (who thankfully doesn't have ridiculous summer hours on Saturdays). They were so lovely and hospitable. We were welcomed as soon as we arrived and with smiles!! It's a bit of a drive for us to get to the Denville library, but wow, it is day and night. We'll never go back to the Randolph one. Well maybe one day when they start being a little less snarky and crabby to their patrons.
