Teaneck, NJ is lucky to have this stately library in town…read more Recently, renovated, this building offers many areas to read, study, meet and learn.

I have really enjoyed the times that I have been here. This library looks small from the outside…read morebut is actually huge! There is a large quiet section with large cubbies & other areas which I have yet to explore. The lower level has a large selection of CD's & DVD's. Going to the restroom felt a bit ominous because the lower level is usually less populated & the bathrooms are secluded. I would definitely be back here for quiet study or for a change of scenery from my local library. The staff have not been too friendly or welcoming but I did not interact more with them besides exchanging a simple "hello" or "goodbye."

This library is great! Getting a card is quick and easy, the librarians are so nice, and the place…read moreis so welcoming. They even have video games? Like ebooks? Check out their collection on Libby!

We are all so lucky to have such a wonderful library and staff. I want to send a special thank-you…read moreout to Emanuel P. for all his help with computer related issues these past few months. Everyone who patronize the Blauvelt library are lucky to have this service available to them. He's an excellent teacher, very patient, and well informed with anything technical.

This is my home library, and it's one of my absolute favorite neighborhood spots. This library's on…read morethe smaller side and attached to a neighborhood senior center but because it's nestled in a mostly-residential area, I've never struggled to find street parking. The smallness of the library means the self-service aspect of more modern libraries aren't available. Books placed on hold are kept behind the counter, so one of the librarians have to retrieve them AND check out all your books. I see this as a plus and a minus. Sure, my visits take just a little longer, but it means I have to have some human contact with every visit and that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, my favorite librarian is a bit of a visual genius. After a few visits, she's come to recognize me on sight and grabs my library holds the second she sees me coming through the door. You don't get that kind of personal service from a machine. While there aren't a ton of titles in this particular library, the interlibrary loan system works beautifully. I'll search for whatever book I need through the website and - if it's available at another location within the system - I'll receive it here within a matter of days. I've also come to appreciate the rich programming. There's a busy calendar of events for all ages from month to month, and there was a summer reading program this past summer for all ages, with raffles to incentivize reading. I was happily surprised to be one of the raffle winners, but even if I weren't, I would absolutely encourage locals to participate because there were trinket prizes just for reading a certain number of books. Though this library is small, the children's section is a delight, complete with a carpeted seating area... and a tree! It's fake, of course, but large and looming enough that it adds a ton of charm. This clearly attracts a lot of kiddos, which sometimes means the library loses its quietude with the squeaks and squeals of little ones. I'm not personally bothered by it, but possibly something to consider for patrons who need absolute silence.

The library is beautiful inside, clean and set up great, I do have something to note -…read more At the computers there is a notice saying that if there is no waitlist for other people waiting for a computer , automatic 15 minute extensions will be applied. I went to go inquire about this and was told a firm "no" by the woman that worked there. I brought up that there was *literally* no one else in the library for the computers and the answer was still no, EVEN with the notice. The Staff member provided no proof other explanation , covid related or otherwise. I understand that she is doing her job but I think updating the terms of computer use and being a bit friendlier would've left a better taste in my mouth.

It has been forever since I stepped into a library so needless to say I came in here looking for an…read moreaudio book because reading books is not in my vocabulary... I pride myself on being a great listener, it's what I do best. From what I noticed, this library has a lot of books and the staff is quite helpful. From the friendly staff I learned that you can go on an app and/or a website to obtain an audio book or even ebooks. Therefore, you do not need to come to the old fashioned library unless you have nothing better to do. Only reason for the 4star review is: NO PARKING!!! This library has a shared municipal parking with the town hall and all their employees occupy it during the day. You have better luck of winning the lotto than finding a spot!
