At first glance Jenkintown Borough seems pleasant enough. However, the Borough and those who run…read moreit couldn't seem to care less about the residents, unless of course you are paying them a lot of taxes, which they just raised by 5%. They do not care if ordinances are violated, even repeatedly, even with evidence. If you are considering moving to Jenkintown Borough, I would seriously think twice.

The Jenkintown Library is a beautiful historic building located at 460 York Road in Jenkintown PA…read more They have plenty of free parking behind the building, off York Road. Even though I was impressed with how beautiful the old building was and how well stocked the shelves were with books, that was not why I was there. Me and my husband had made an appointment to get our passports processed. I made a appointment a few weeks ago (online) for 5pm. We were there a few minutes early, so the young lady at the desk told us to have a seat. Sure enough at 5pm exactly another young lady comes out (forgot to get her name) and goes over all our paperwork. She was very precise, making sure every line was filled out correctly. I didn't need my birth certificate, because I had a old passport (that had expired), but my husband needed his, since it was his first time getting one. The cost is $130 per person for the passport. An additional $35 per person to the Jenkintown Library for their processing fee. They only take personal checks or money orders. That's right!, no cash or credit cards. You also need to have your picture taken (before you get there) at a place that takes passport photos. I had mine taken at Staples for $14.99. All in all the appointment went pretty smooth after filling out the paperwork. They made us feel welcome and I would highly recommend the Jenkintown Library for your passport needs.

The advertised hours are not always adhered to. Many reviews on other sites report racism but I have never seen it, just workers who are hostile to everyone regardless of race, color, creed, or national origin. But somehow, all of my packages get safely delivered, usually faster and cheaper than all other common carriers. Super nice building in a super nice neighborhood. Lots of great businesses within walking distance. Traffic can be reckless and downright dangerous, so drive cautiously.

It's absolutely amazing to go and borrow a free book or sit in and read quietly. This library has open windows so you can cop a spot near the window and see natural scenery. There's classes on many topics that you can attend, to learn a new skill or acquire new knowledge. There's activities and programs for kids as well. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Parking is ample so you will never have a problem with that. It's adjacent to many things like a park, stores, and restaurants which is great for convenience. Quaint mid-size library that offers much for all visitors!
