Cute hometown library…read more Pros: - Open spaces - Table spaces to work spread out the library - good lighting Cons: - it's on the smaller side but doesn't have that small cozy feel to it. - kid section is OK but small - it's open looking because I feel like the selection is not very large - there's so much room to fill.

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."

The library is beautiful and majestic and I'm glad we visited during our trip. We didn't plan to…read morecome here but we were nearby at Bryant Park and decided to walk in. The library and exhibits are free to enter. For it being free I thought it would be way more crowded but it was manageable. It's really opulent inside and so beautiful, I loved watching all the wedding photoshoots going one. I bought recommend going to the top floor to see the mural on the ceiling. The best part was cooling down in the building LOL. Would def come back next time we're in New York.

I finally toured the NYPL Schwartzman Building last weekend after having it on my to do list for…read more... years? I'm so glad I finally made it! Also known as the Main Branch or just the New York Public Library, it's the flagship building for the library system. It was built after the New York Public Library was formed as a public-private partnership with two private libraries. The building opened to the public on May 23, 1911. The building was designed in the Beaux-Arts style, and it's gorgeous. The library offers docent-led building tours Monday through Saturday at 11am and 2pm. You book tickets online, and they release tickets every Sunday for the week ahead. You meet in the Visitor Center on the first floor for a one-hour tour. The tour was great. You learn about the history of the building and the library and then are taken by the docent to several beautiful areas of the library. The building is huge, and I really appreciated a guided tour which takes you to the highlights of the building. I'm not sure I would have found all the spaces on my own, and the architecture is worth it. They also have a permanent exhibit which highlights items from their research collections: "The Polonsky Exhibition of the New York Public Library's Treasures." Unfortunately, the exhibit was closed for a bit of time to change out some of the items on display (March 12-20, 2026) and that meant I couldn't visit the exhibit when I was there. They also have a gift shop. The docent who led my tour (Athena) was great, and I really enjoyed my tour of the library. I'll be back again for the Polonsky exhibit and a walk around on my own!

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.

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. :)

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 is small in that there is no difference between a quiet area and an area where people are allowed to chat among themselves. When I was studying for my boards I had a difficult time here. Also you have to go to the front to log onto the computers which is kind of annoying. Not to big a selection on dvd rentals either. Pretty average library with nothing special. No study rooms

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.

Nutley Library is the bee's knees…read more It's located off one of the main streets tucked away in its own little spot. The library itself is huge. Two floors and countless sections. When you first walk in you get greeted by the friendly workers and the new arrivals along with popular book choices. Most of the first floor is nonfiction and they have it all laid out perfectly. Just from walking through the first time I saw a ton of books that have been on my list for a while now. Upstairs is fiction, kids section, magazines and the quiet corner which I love. It's a spot all the way in the back that's perfect for studying or reading without being disturbed. I'm just very shocked at the amount of books they have. I'm a bit of a library snob and this is a great one. They have comic books, magazines, even a small dungeons and dragons nook! Hahaha. The workers are great here, they helped me find a book I've been looking for for quite a while now and actually had been waiting for another library to get for me. They had it available right away. This is a fantastic spot, part of BCCLS and just overall really well laid out. Can't give it enough praise.
