Passport Service Office…read more They have the rudest most unhelpful person working there to run the passport office. Yes, we were 10 minutes late however her lack of any iota of customer service was shocking for such a nice library and other very lovely librarians. This lady could not answer any questions in regard to the form and made no effort to be helpful in any way. She kicked us out 20minutes later as appointments are apparently only 30 minutes on the dot. It is also $35 processing fee per person applying, I guess that's the price for extra rudeness.

My appointment was for 10:30 and I was in and out in less than 10 minutes. Everything was very straightforward and the processing fee was $35 and the library charges another $10 for the photo. I highly recommend coming to the library over waiting at the post office! Everyone is very friendly and accommodating!

I was attending a political organizing event that was held at the Tredyffrin Public Library…read more I did not have a chance to look at much of the library because I spent most of my time in the main meeting room. The room itself had a couple of tables and did not have a cramped feel at all. It probably has enough room to hold around 100-150 people. It seemed like the library had plenty of books, computers and other resources. There were a couple of parents at the political event and some of them let their kids out in the library to read or do some work. This library had a couple of signs for events at the library including movie nights. Across the street from the library are a couple of pairs of tennis courts, which looked to be in good condition. Once it gets warmer, I wouldn't rule out stopping odd here once in a while to hit some balls. Altogether, the Tredyffrin Public Library is a nice space to hold gatherings/events or do some reading or other work.

Signage is great and it is very easy to find the type of books you are looking for. It is also very clean. And there is a decent playground right next to the library. There is lots of parking and an electric charging station in the parking lot for electric vehicles.

I didn't have my laptop with me so Panera or other free wi-fi locations were not an option. And so to the local library I went. They had 3 computers set up for Internet use, as well as wi-fi. Did I mention it was free? The connection was pretty good and fast. The library itself is pretty small and is connected to Wachovia. Back when I lived at home, I'd come here for books and movies. They also sell used books as well. Thanks, Paoli Library for your free and fast Internets, without which my 15 minute search would have taken easily an hour at the 'rents.

I've always been blown away by the service at the Norristown Public Library--the reference…read morelibrarians are tops at offering relevant, deep research if needed--and I am actually surprised that this is the first review. Anyway, I had new reason to praise the libe this week. I had an editing job that, unlike most others, required AP style--and the job was due today. Luckily, the Norristown Library had the three most recent copies of the AP Stylebook. Unluckily, we're in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, and most libraries take several days to make books available for curbside pickup, which would be too late for my project due date in two days. So I called the Norristown Library reference desk, explained that it was an emergency, and the librarian immediately found the book and made it available for me--in 15 minutes! Props to the reference librarian working the morning of 08-12-2020; she was professional and personable.

They have plenty of tables and desks if you're looking to do remote work. They also have meeting rooms that you can reserve for up to two hours per day. They aren't sound proof, but they allow for some added privacy. It's located across the street from a school so from 230-430 it can get crowded with students.

I've been hopping storytimes like the beginning of "Fight Club." (I'm not the only one, Holly A,…read moreper her reviews, did it too.) So my review is for storytime, not RML in general. Andrea does storytime for my son's age group at RML, and she is awesome! I have been taking my baby since he was 3mos old, though they offer the pre-walker program from birth. (No registration necessary.) The RML pre-walkers group is a decent size. A mix of moms, nannies, and grandparents, are all there to help their little one learn and grow (an occasional dad or grandpa). There is a core group of regulars, and many others who come and go. Andrea is great about remembering her babies' names, which is a really sweet touch! She is energized, and keeps the kids' attention really well. My son is mesmerized when he goes. It's hard to hold the attention of such a young age group, so actual stories are limited, but the choices Andrea makes are really appropriate for this stage. She adds songs, bells, scarves, puppets, gestures and movements, etc. to keep them entertained. While the pre-walker storytime is only 20-30mins, it's worth the trip! When we get home, my son is exhausted from all the stimulation. They offer it twice on Thursdays, so you can catch one or the other. The storytime room is partitioned off for noise insulation, and to allow babies to crawl wherever they want. I am equidistant from Newtown Twp Library and RML. The group size at Newtown Twp gets huge, and the moms talk nonstop, which is unpleasant for those of us looking to engage in the activity and bond with our kids. That behavior doesn't happen at RML; focus is on the kids, where it should be, IMO. My son and I both prefer RLM because the group size is always just right and Andrea is a great leader. This place is great for us! * * * TIP * * * Your Radnor Library card will get you into Chanticleer Garden for $5 instead of $10.

Seems like a nice library although we did not peruse the stacks. Front desk had only one person manning the phones and the front so I had to wait a few minutes to inquire where passports are done. They definitely need another person in the front and should put up a sign to help direct the foot traffic.
