Perhaps it's because I…read morewent in today for the first time and have not interacted with the staff, which I guess is the main concern of other yelpers. Firstly, let me say that as a temporary Everett resident, I was so positively predisposed to visit this library just by looking at it from the outside. The building itself is beautiful and inviting and my brief search did not lead to more about the exquisite architecture. So earlier today I indeed went in and was very heartened to see that, unlike so many other public libraries, you are not subjected to the scrutiny of multiple staff members when entering and exiting. You can enter and leave discreetly. I found the collection of CD's, DVD's and books, wonderful and wish I had some more time to browse a couple of books. The little circular reading area is fantastic, the entire library is quiet, as a library should be. The outside views of Broadway street are mesmerizing. I will try to go again before leaving Everett.

When I was very young we used to gather in a circle in the library and would read to us that would be grades kindergarten through second we used to walk down as groups from my neighborhood just for the readings it was very exciting back then I wish more people read now I pray for future Generations. Glad to know the library is still open and going strong. Also notice the fabulous architecture it hasn't changed in 40 years although it's much much older than that. Many many many things have changed in Chelsea, but I'm very glad to see that the City Hall in public library have stayed the same.

He asked where I was from, how I got here, what I was looking for, etc. He told me he has been here for 30+ years and can answer about any question. He gave me a "tour" of the library, showing me where the computers, fiction, non-fiction, magazines, and movies were all located. The building itself is a circular shape which makes it odd for storing books. However, he assured me if they don't have it where I can find it, simply ask. They can also get anything from the Boston Public library circulation too, which is very helpful. I came in a second time several weeks later and the librarian greeted me and welcomed me back. The staff make it very easy for you to find what you need. I have not spent a ton of time here but did see people utilizing the computers and reading areas. I think it's a great part of the community--free for all! Check out their facebook too for special programming if you have kids!

I was excited I enjoy reading so when I got my card in middle school I was ecstatic. The reference librarian was always beyond helpful. The amount of growth and change that I have witnessed at this library is astonishing. They do great work such as Malden reads which is a group that chooses a book to read for the month or so and then eventually gets together and discusses their opinions on that specific book. Let me tell you I have been to one book discussion but I am making it my business to attend another one. Hearing so many different perspectives on a book that you read really helps build your intellect and open your mind to different ways people interpret things based off of their own ideas. If you are not affiliated with Malden library in any way I highly recommend you do so when you get a chance. It welcoming and warm and the librarians are A1. #read
