There's a lot of seating throughout and you should be able to find a quiet spot. They have the newer self checkout kiosks now so you don't have to chit chat if that's not your thing. The librarians do seem friendly though. The cafe isn't open past 6 on any day but it seems to have sandwiches, soups and baked goods; there are a few tables to sit as well. Parking lot is large and shared with the municipal building. An easy walk into town for food and shopping.

The building, described as a "collegiate Gothic style" makes the library feel significant. The librarian gave us a brochure with the notable works through the museum, which was handy. We came for the Thomas Nast painting, but we wanted around to the giant eagle sculpture from a WWI armory and the stained glass with initials from famous authors. It was like a scavenger hunt. The space is nice if one needs to get out the house to read or use a computer, and obviously they have the standard books, CDs, and DVDs. But as a space, it's very nice.

It's housed in a gorgeous old stone building with a large, bright new addition. I strongly prefer a book with real paper pages over a device. My bookshelves were full years ago so I finally decided to borrow and return instead of stuffing my place further. This means I'm in the Morristown library almost every week, usually for books but occasionally for movies and music. This library's a member of the Morris County library network so it's easy to borrow from any library's holdings, which means you can get quite a lot. Not everything under the sun, but a large variety for sure. Yes there's free wi-fi and free power. If you don't have a laptop, they also have networked computers which are also free. You must have a library card to use the computers, which you can get at no cost by showing ID that proves you are a local resident. The library offers meeting rooms for community organizations, not sure of the cost. Homeless people definitely can be seen here. They've never bothered me, for what that's worth. I wonder if modern library school teaches how to handle this challenge, it must be difficult. @Benjamin M - the library reopened early 2012 after repairs from the 2010 explosion were finally complete, and the scaffolding that's up in Jan 2013 is for new stone rehab work. Yelps page needs to mention that Summer hours are abbreviated - short hours on Saturday and closed on Sundays.

Wifi is free and easy to connect to. Only bad thing is the people that work here. So rude and not helpful. I didn't know you were not allowed to eat fruit at the library and was asked if I needed a copy of the rules... how about just telling me nicely to put my food away? This is a huge turn off from coming here since I usually bring snacks with me to study as I study pretty much from 9-5 pm every day as a medical student. I guess if I want to eat any sort of food I would have to do it someplace else.

While it doesn't have every book, they do take suggestions on books if they're not available via e-book or in any of the libraries. Older books can be a harder find.

However, one you have parents who don't watch their kids during the story time and some of the kids disrupt or are too hands on with other kids. You also have the issue where the parents want to stand in front of the teacher teaching so the little ones can't see a thing. Then to make matters worst 8 out of 10 times the teachers never there. It's a bit of a ghetto situation for a lack of better words. Miss Amerie is a wonderful human and I know she can get overwhelmed especially when some parents don't do their part and watch their kids. But I've had enough I rather uber it to a better location where I know my daughter will get to have library time everyday and be surrounded by a good environment. If I were you pass on the children story time in the morning. Not to mention the place is dirty. So if you're just going to borrow a book then that's fine though they seem to be pretty limited but they will order it for you.

Originating in 1893 as the parish library of St. Agnes Chapel, the library ultimately became part of the NY Public Library System. In 1906 the library was established as we know it, on Amsterdam Avenue between 81st and 82nd Streets. (It was originally ten blocks north.) Industrialist Andrew Carnegie donated funds to build public libraries through the city's five boroughs, which is how this building came to be. The library's architects were Babb, Cook and Willard who also designed the Carnegie mansion. (I recently visited the Cooper Hewitt which is housed in the mansion. Terrific museum! Beautiful building!) The library hosts a film series in its third-floor community room, which is why I was there. (Saturday's movie was "Harold and Maude" -- a classic dark comedy from the 1970s.) To my surprise, the library supplied free snacks, water bottles and chair cushions. It was a very comfortable and pleasant afternoon. This appears to be an active branch well-used by neighborhood residents. A wonderful NYC resource!
