Our public library is one of the best things about our town. My family visits often. It has a very…read morekid-friendly environment, and my children often meet their friends from school here. The library has a great selection of books, movies, and music. If they don't have something on-site, the staff can order it from any other library in Bergen County, and you'll get what you need in a day or two. They always have programs and activities for children. As an added bonus, there is super-fast WiFi.

Talk about a seamless process. Called back in March for an appointment to get my passport renewed…read more I had my appointment last night, and for 10 dollars, they had all the paperwork printed for me, took my photo, and checked to make sure I filled out all my paperwork correctly. They finally gave me everything I needed, highlighted the address where I needed to send it, and sent me on my way. 10 minutes in and out the door, issue resolved.

They also recently made upgrades to the interior, including a new and improved young adult section, and also added multiple new computers and seats. It's usually very quiet here, minus an hour or two after Brookside Middle School and Hillside Elementary School students are dismissed at the end of the school day, since lots of children come to the library with their parents, or stop by to do homework. The staff is also very friendly, minus one kind of scary employee. Forget Redbox, just order DVDs through the BCCLS site and put your tax dollars to work.

Additionally, there needs to be either a quiet space for computer use or a space for meetings and tutoring that will not interrupt the quiet space of other patrons. The staff often eat hot food and the smells permeate the entire small space. To the credit of Allendale, it's a pleasing and well thought out space with a small town feel.

I haven't been to the GR library in years, but my wife still checks out audio books on line and my…read morecollege kids will still go get the occasional book. From what I understand, many towns have either shut their libraries or taken away funding resulting in less hours and rundown facilities. It's so nice to have a pretty library available to the town (and county, I think). I'm really just reviewing to support our library.

On an annual trip to NYC, I decided I would visit bookstores and take in all I could. B&B was right…read moreby my hotel, and I was delighted to find a comfortable room full of baseball memorabilia and a great variety. They specialize in 19th and 20th century English and American literature, which means you're going to see a lot of titles you're familiar with. I stopped in late in their day, so I wasn't surprised to be the only one there, but the team gave me space, answered very basic questions I had, and - gasp - LET ME TOUCH THE BOOKS. This is far from a stuffy environment, and when I finally convince my partner that I need that very expensive piece that has F. Scott Fitzgerald's music for Princeton, I know exactly where I'll go.

5 minutes before B&B books was closing, I buzzed the room located on the third floor to see if they…read morewould let me in "just to look." Well, 45 minutes later, I was still oohing and awing at the marvelous selection of first edition books they have to offer. This is the largest selection (aside from corporate-owned Bauman's) of rare books I've seen that include the dust jacket- a collectors actual dream. It's the biggest breath of fresh air to find a rare book store owned by a woman, and to be treated like a human being. I normally get side-eyed from rare bookstore owners and some of the conversations I've had sound like: "May I see the Portrait of a Lady in the case?" "All of these books are at least $100.00 and up." ".....I know." "Do you have any Wilde?" "The book about the woman hiking alone? That's too new to be in our shop, Barnes & Noble would have it." "I'm talking about the 1800s poet." "Oh." I take it personally because while I look like a millennial who doesn't know what she's talking about, I treasure my rare books like they're my children. Sunday stayed AN EXTRA HOUR at her store while I looked and answered all of my questions that I had, never making me feel rushed or unwelcome. After selecting a first edition Fitzgerald, she wrapped it in bubble wrap for my travels back home and gave me an updated book with all of the rare book sellers in the country.
