Came here today for a change of scenery and a quiet environment to work on final exams. This place…read moreis nice, but I don't know what the architects were thinking when they decided on high ceilings. This place is a giant echo chamber. There is so much noise here. Even the receptionist at the information desk was loud when she was talking to a resident. She didn't even try to speak quietly. People can be heard laughing and carrying on, the sound of phones ringing and beeping from scanning books can be heard from the other side of the building. Not an ideal place to come if you are looking for silence. I am astounded by how many people come into a library and do not bother to turn their cell phones on silent. Every few minutes I was hearing someone's phone ring. As I sat in the computer area, almost every person who sat around me had their cell phone on. They do have a really nice children's section, but it would help if they closed the doors so you can't hear the children carrying on from the other side of the library.

Warminster Library: What would I do without you all! You are so very helpful and obliging,…read moreespecially when I am trying to place holds. Also, the library is so small and intimate.

The Warminster Township Free Library is where I experienced my first forays into the card catalog…read more Actually, I ran into the catalog before, but there it was the first time I used it electronically! Last I was here, browsers could use terminals (they're probably using eMacs now) to perform searches. After you find what you want, just do the footwork to actually get your books. There's a good selection of fantasy and science fiction novels to borrow and you can even buy their overflow books in the front for cheap. The library is open Monday through Saturday, and have book discussion groups periodically. Recommended if you want to get your reading on!

HATBORO LIBRARY DENIES ENTRY Went to library 7/16 1:15 pm…read moreto get some books. On the way home from the Hatboro Pool. Was wrapped in a very large, dry beach towel, totally dry, wearing shoes. Looked like a wrap dress.My hair was dry and I had makeup on. There were no other patrons in the library; I knew what books I wanted. The younger librarian asked if I had any clothing to put on. When I replied,'no,' she told me I wasn't allowed to come in. I have been to several establishments wrapped in my towel. No one has ever stopped me or denied me entry. This woman must think the library is only for special patrons, not regular community members. I wonder how many students she's denied entry due to what she deemed they needed. There was no dress or other codes in sight. Maybe this 'fancy' library should post, at the entrance, what's allowed to be able to use a facility that our taxes pay for. Oh, one more thing...there are no. Handicapped Parking spaces at this library. When asked, they responded there wasn't too much room, it would have meant ripping up what they had, and there didn't seem to be a need. As a local person of 39 years,I will never again even think of using Hatboro Library for anything. An embarrassment.

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.

I am mainly into older philosophy books lately and plan on coming back here to advance my knowledge from all the scholars from yester years. They always have books for sale when you come in on your right and once every few months have their larger book fair. In addition to books and over five thousand DVD's in stock they have partition work offices you can work in. I want to say approximately five with a sliding door to make it a little more private as well. I have been to the Horsham Library and the Abington Library in the past month and my preference at this time I would have to say is the Horsham Library. As always people SYOY!!!

They're not replacing them with new books. They are apparently using the space to "feature" a book by standing it up face-out. Is this a store or a library? The science fiction/fantasy and mystery sections have been cut down by at least half (not even taking into account the fact of the remaining shelves being half empty.) It's so sad. Librarians used to be people who loved books.

This library seriously needs to be updated. It still looks the same since at least the 80s. With budget cuts, the library is closed a lot at night and weekends. Sad. The best thing about E.P. library is there monthly book sale. People donate so often, that there are always new things to look at. Plus, it's like Black Friday. People line up in the cold and run to grab as many books as possible. Watch out for the creeps who have the scanners to check for resale value. Not cool to block aisles or build stacks of books 20 deep. Some of us actually like to read them.
