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."

Once inside, head straight to the third floor for the McGraw Rotunda. There are themed, sequenced…read moremurals across the ceiling and all the walls. The sequence begins on the ceiling with Prometheus stealing fire, enabling human civilization. This is followed by a mural of Moses and the carved Ten Commandments, a mural of a monk handwriting a script, the first production of books, the first printing press, a small mural of a mother reading a book to a child, and finally, a small mural of the child grown up and reading independently. Also at the McGraw Rotunda is the starting point for tours of the Ross Main Reading Room, which are available at 11:20 AM, 1:30 PM, and 3:00 PM. However, tickets are limited (approximately 25 per tour) and are distributed 30 minutes before the tour starts. If you want to secure a spot, you need to wait in line for tickets at least 25 minutes ahead of time. The tour is only 15 minutes long, but it is very informative and impressive. Millions of books are stored underneath Bryant Park and are retrieved via miniature shuttle trains, and the ceilings on both sides of the reading room feature murals of a blue sky to inspire readers. On the first floor, opposite the main entrance, is the Polonsky Exhibition. It is a museum where you can find intriguing artifacts such as one of 48 surviving copies of the Gutenberg Bible, Charles Dickens's writing desk, the Lenox collection of Shakespeare's plays, and Audubon's hand-colored Carolina Parakeet. Oh, don't forget to find the historical wooden phone booths in the basement and post yourself using a pay phone!

I moved to Edgewater last summer and finally got around to getting a library card. The process was…read morevery easy and I was delighted to find a great selection of books. They were even giving out glasses for the solar eclipse. I am a little surprised there is no parking here and it's located in a highly populated streeted with many residents already parking on the street. On a Saturday afternoon, I had to park half a mile away on Undercliff.

The librarians are friendly and helpful. If you need a relaxing place to sit with your thoughts, or…read moreread, this is the place to go. Many things to take advantage of, this library offers museum passes, things to borrow, and now Hoopla (which is amazing). They usually have the local newspaper if you need another one, and many other services here too. Check them out online, and in person. :)

This is a smaller library but there are large tables to sit at. However, it looks like there is no…read morefree wifi or there wasn't when I went to the library. The library was quiet when I went there. Also, there is only street parking or at the municipal parking lot up the street before the library. There is a 4 hour limit for non-residents for the street parking and just a 4 hour limit for the municipal parking lot.

The library itself is a nice local resource; however, some, though not all, of the staff seem to…read morehave chosen the wrong profession. They frequently talk for extended periods, sometimes for hours, at an unreasonably loud volume. When asked politely to lower their voices, they become very defensive. It does not seem like an unreasonable request to ask for quiet in a library, especially when staff have been talking continuously for 30 to 45 minutes. Despite making several polite requests for them to be mindful of their volume, I was met with a rude response and even told, both implicitly and later directly, that I should stop coming if I did not like it. Over time, I felt unwelcome and ultimately stopped visiting this library. While I understand that some level of conversation is inevitable, prolonged loud talking in a space meant for reading, studying, and quiet reflection is not appropriate. I felt it was important to share this experience and also raise it with library leadership.

The workers are extremely rude. When kids come to the library after school they are forced to be…read morequiet, even though they are on the louder side of the library and no one's really here to be annoyed from the kids anyway. The workers are louder than the kids, hearing them from their office laughing with each other but unfortunately they can't talk to their friends. In order for them to do that they would have to "whisper," while they are louder then them. I came in with my child and overheard one of the workers telling kids she does not care about them and that she would put them on the street if they talked. As a parent that was a very alarming statement to hear. Very disrespectful.

It was my first time here today and totally loved it. Just 8 mins walk from home. The library is…read morewonderful and the staff are super kind. It is a great place to sit down and work in a distraction free environment. The restrooms are really clean too. I told one of the staff (an elderly man on the 2nd floor) that it was my first time and I got a personal tour of the library. He explained the history of the library and showed me around :) If these are the kind of services my tax money is helping build/maintain, it makes me feel proud!

The first two times I went here in biting cold, the place was closed due to some reasons not listed…read moreon website or Google. Third time I got lucky. The librarians inside are some of the warmest people I met in my entire life. Not fake politeness, but genuine niceness. Especially the elderly man at the counter on ground floor. Everyone was extremely helpful and made me feel welcome for living in Weehawken. Guess what, they also let me check out 2 books on the day I went. At any time, with a library card one can check out as many as 56 books. The view from the library windows upstairs is great. This might be a great spot for studying. But honestly, book collection wise this library branch is not great, but 100 points for looking like Hogwarts.
