When you go in, you have to relinquish your ID. I think. No big deal. The permit people are fantastic. Hey, nobody wants to shell out money for anything, but such is life. One woman almost made me cry. She showed so much compassion to me that it struck me: I did not even know her, and she was so sweet in a sea of people who had robotic emotions or no empathy. (I am not special, but everyone deserves basic respect.) And the tax peeps- they never tired of answering questions. They were a big help. They were nice, both in person and on the phone. I almost forgot that I got married in this building. I had on a crown of rose leaves, and a teen library patron seemed struck by that. Afterwards, my dad told my husband to "take care of his baby." The police are in this building. No misbehaving. They will drag you into court. You can park across the street if there are no spaces left. The lots are tiny. The schoolhouse is still there. I hope it always will be.

The library is quite big and not too crowded. There were a few individuals wandering about, but there were typically only two or three patrons and a half dozen librarians.

From the moment you enter you feel like you are anywhere but Northeast Philly! The grounds are pretty expansive with a variety of landscape design. It's a gorgeous place to wander on a nice day. It's also the ideal spot for a photo shoot - tons of backdrop options!! They do have limited visiting hours so check online before you plan to go - and you will need a ticket. I went on one of their few 'Open Saturdays.' Tickets were $15 each and for a two hour time period. I specifically went to have some photos taken and was not disappointed with them! Stunning backgrounds and lighting. Visitors are also welcome to bring a picnic lunch and sit out by the water, which I did. There is so much space which makes it easy for social distancing, though it wasn't crowded at all. Parking is easy, too. They have a large grassy area fir cars to park on. I believe they have a restroom for guests too, though I didn't use it. This is such a beautiful spot, I will definitely be back in the spring to see the flowers blooming!

This has to be the most inconsiderate customer population in the surrounding area. Why do people feel they need to have conversational talk--in person & on cell--in a library!! Don't bother taking to the staff, totally useless on this issue. They don't want to hurt snowflakes feelings. I've talked to the staff in person and sent numerous emails/feedback submission thru the BCLS online system. Will it hurt to place simple table signs to keep your tone to a whisper and no cell phone conversations (only in the lobby area). I'll be satisfied with a regular announcement on the PA, at least your brain will zone that out over a short period of time. I think I will start a campaign, take and post a picture of self-centered, inconsiderate, and annoying people so I can share it with the library staff as evidence to change their policy and enforce it.

The librarian that we always see is amazing She makes my nephews day. The librarian today (who's desk and computer where facing the sitting area where the marbel run is, not the computers for library patrons.) was not a lovely person to meet. So when we met this librarian to ask her for marbels for the run, she had spilled beads allover her desk the floor ext. My nephew did not hesitate to help got too big hand fulls for her it was cute. She then went on to ignore us as she picked up every bead. Then when she finely helped us(shoving her hand in her desk and pulling out 2 marbels shoving them in his face and saying you can have this) it was a disgusting, the diference in what i have always bin met with at this library was night and day. I explained that the other librarian lets him pic the marbels and also lets us take 4(We have never lost a marbel and if you want me to bring marbels just ask) so after agreeing she slams it on the tabel in front of my nephew like a child. so not to say this interaction with this "adult" killed the mood for my nephew, the marbel run he was asking to play with all week we played with for mayby 10-15 minutes because of this, then when my nephew gave back the marbels he came back almost crying because of the interaction, at another point he is siting on a chair by your back window and he puts his head in one of the small metal square(left and right bottoms of the window screen) cus he wants to crawl out the window rather then walk out the library past her. I had to carry my nephew out of Burlington County Library in not a fun way but to make him feel safe and wanted. And at the end of all this he told me "im done with the librery, i dont want to come back." And those two sentences are why you got this review. also that librarian should not be in the children's section if she is going to make children cry.
