Cozy little small-town library!…read more Centrally located with plenty of parking and easily accessible, this little space has plenty going on. While the building might not hold a huge collection, the new book section is extensive and books on hold arrive fairly quickly from the Delaware Library network. I've taken a free craft class here and have send signage for plenty of kid & family friendly free events. The kids section looks large and there's rarely been a visit where I haven't seen some kind of family or kid event going on there so probably a great destination option. Librarians and staff are friendly and helpful and any checkout lines move very quickly. Pro tip: Sign up for their newsletter and you'll get a consistent reminder of all the events they have going!

It's pretty big & has many computers as well as the "den" area where there's plenty of kids toys.

Not as big as northeast and not as much to do but still fun and something free to do. We have also been to Chesapeake city and rising sun. All great places to take your kids! I would recommend the northeast branch out of all of them because there is so much for your kids to play with, they always have some kind of little activity for the kids to do (last week was matching mittens on a large board) always very clean, bathrooms are super nice and staff is great, very helpful very nice and welcoming!

A good selection of titles with various formats available although CDs are no longer available at this branch. That said, you can request a CD hold for pickup at the Abingdon branch.

There are so few public libraries that feel as if you walked into a comfortable bookstore or your own home, and I hope that occurs when a new location is designated. This is a place you want to just be able to hang out and watch the comings and going all day. it was so - not sure the word, but seeing people coming in, grabbing a nearby chair that would be in a living room, and take time to go through the newspaper of book of interest nearby. The residents must LOVE this public library, as I did from several towns away!

One of the security guards told us to head straight up to the 3rd floor -- he compared it to a small museum full of rare things. Intrigued, we took his advice. So glad we did! We happened upon the free guided tour of the Rare Book Department, and spent the next hour happily being shown treasures such as books with special bindings, books with gold leaf, the taxidermied raven named Grip which inspired Edgar Allan Poe's famous work, and yes, Charles Dickens' desk, complete with his scratched-on initials. Later, we came across a giant shoe in one of the reading rooms. This place is fantastically magical. Love the Free Library of Philadelphia.
