The projects and activities for kids are well thought-out and organized. I saw one staff member come up to a kid who reached out to her for a hug. I asked, "Is that your daughter"? and the librarian said,"No, just one of our children who's been coming here since she was little". I also met a young woman outside the library who was greeting other kids coming and going. She proudly identified herself as the "teen representative on the library board." Now that's the way we build leadership and civic responsibility. (Not mention the child's self-esteem). I wholeheartedly endorse Miller Library as a solid community-based resource and its staff, as nurturing healers of this world we are now living in. Mary Dooley

This library is really a mixed bag. On the one hand, it's a beautiful building, both inside and…read moreout. There's also a pretty expansive audio-visual collection, and a wonderful, glass-enclosed study room in the middle of the building. OTOH, it is more often than not filled with insufferably loud, obnoxious teenagers and adolescents. I love the idea of kids pursuing knowledge, but too often it's used as a pretext to turn a building utilized by many others for its intended purpose into a teen hangout. It's worth visiting if you're in Stapleton, but be warned. Don't go there for an hour of quiet contemplation and study. At least, not after 2 PM on a weekday.

This was the closest location to me when I was a child growing up in the late 80's and all…read morethroughout the 90's. So to say I spent a lot of time there would be an understatement. I got to know all the old library workers and they treated us like family (there were a few who were nasty, but every place has one of those). I loved it there. It was like a second home. When it closed down for 'renovation', I was crushed. I didn't think it would ever open back up again, but just a few years back, I noticed they fixed it up and hired an entire new crew. I have to say, though I loved the old time-y, rustic feel of the original library, the new version isn't all that bad. It even comes complete with some really nice librarians. Well worth the visit.

I've signed up to get the text alerts for the activities going on and I love that they have so many digital books that are always available to access online. The ambiance of the library is also very happy. Very colorfully decorated with a steady stream of new books on display that you can checkout. This location has a friendly atmosphere and I enjoy seeing the steady stream of people participating in their programs (arts and craft, story time, sing a long, yoga, guitar lessons etc.). In this era of isolation it's a great place for people to go and interact with others if they choose to.

In fact, the location will be closed temporary for renovations at some point in the near future. So check it out while you still can. It's downtown and close to Grove Street. You can easily walk from the PATH to the library. You can also bike there. It's close to Van Vorst Park, as well. So it's a great place to stop if for a lazy Saturday. Also, apparently the reading time in the Children's area is jumping. The strollers come out in full force.

Five Corners Library is perhaps the best free public library near Journal Square, with only one…read morenotable negative I've come across. Let's cover the positives first: It's very convenient, within a 10 minute walk from the Path train station. The outside is obviously dated, but it is very clean and looks new on the inside. It is sizeable, with 2 floors and 2 computer areas - one for adults and one for children. It has a small free parking lot for visitors with about 4 available spots. They offer free or low-cost printer services, such as printing, scanning, and faxing. This is where my only negative experience comes in. The only downside I have encountered is in the customer service, particularly with one employee. Here's my experience: I started going to the library recently, and noticed a flyer posted that "the library offers up to 20 free courtesy prints for children PRESENT in the library." So, I tried it out and 2 employees there gave me no problem at all once I showed them my child was present. Then one day I came back, and when requesting the free prints, an elder female Indian employee gave quite a hard time. She claimed the published rule that the child has to be present wasn't enough for the free prints, making up new rules on the spot: 1. The child has to have a library card. 2. The child has to make an appointment for a computer. 3. The child has to print from the computer. 4. The prints have to be for the child's school work/homework. She communicated these new and non-standard rules to the staff member there and who continued to follow them in subsequent visits. This employee also asks non-standard questions, such as what the prints are before she releases them. When she made my child's library card, she even asked what grade level he is in, although the school name was the only required information. This excessive prying into details raises significant privacy concerns. This employees seems to be overreaching in her authority with patrons and staff, even when providing a mandated free service. And her habit of distracting employees with gossip while they are assisting patrons only sours the experience further. Perhaps she overlooks the fact that our tax payer dollars fund both all the library services and her employment. On the other hand, with the exception of this one employee, the rest of the staff are delightful. Especially Nelly, who was tremendously helpful, going above and beyond to make my family feel comfortable and welcome. Based on my positive experiences with most employees, this remains my go-to neighborhood library.
