There's pros and cons to this place…read more Pros: - Staff are very nice and helpful - Parking is available, it is behind the building - Play center for kids - Computer lab, fax, books, videos Cons: - Play center is small and less kid friendly than the library in Hallam - Privacy - I've gone there and there are people on the phone talking about their relationships in the quiet area - Small - This is probably something they will have difficulty fixing, there are only 2 quiet rooms available and it's only available for 2 hours, which means mostly likely you can stay study or do work in the quiet room, but the issue is see above Overall: It's a good place for kids and parents and services, but it's not so good in terms of studying or reading as there are chances of disturbances.

The free parking is a toss the street and behind the gigantic Presbyterian church at the corner of Market Street and Queen Street. I love Martin Library. They keep up to date on current titles. If you need a book that they don't have in the York County Library system they will interlibrary lon it for you. For example, I asked for a history book that York County Library didn't have. Two weeks later they had borrowed it from Lebanon Valley College for me! For free!

I love the bosler library, I have loved it since I was young. Not only is it a huge piece of…read morecarlisle history, it was a large part of some of my children's core memories in the children's wing. I had to print some sensitive documents yesterday. The front desk person was very soft spoken and pleasant. I didn't feel judged for my library card shortcomings. After the documents were printed, they let my partner pay for them but wouldn't release them to them. That feels very professional and secure. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet save for the occasional excited toddler bouncing around. There's the bookery which is not only clean and cozy but stunningly fancy looking, kind of like a little palace. Items bought there are yours to keep. The prices are more than reasonable, some of the stuff is antiques. There's a teen wing, non-fiction, a chess board, dvds, sensory items, and a few free shelves. But so much more! There's useful documents everywhere, from a library-offered self-guided scavenger hunt to incredibly helpful mental health resources. Bathrooms are clean and open to the public. I recommend the summer reading program for kids, mine did it for a few years. It's incredibly rewarding for them. Bosler will always be my favorite library. Maybe I'm biased, but I think it deserves every bit of its praise. I will always go here.

I didn't get exactly what I came for because you…read moreonly see a limited number of rooms in the house and you can't take photos on the first floor (to protect the artifacts) . . . but it was still a worthwhile trip! First, call ahead (there is no online system so you do actually have to call) to make sure they are giving tours and at what times (only certain days of the week, last tour usually starts at 1 PM). This mansion is another relic from the gilded age, however this one isn't completely stuck in the past and is a living, breathing arts venue. The last residents (she died in 1956 I think) had no children and left it to Johns Hopkins University with the specification it be used as an art museum. And there is a lot of interesting and attractive art, though it's mostly art by European white men. That's just what the owners collected . . . but our docent told us they are trying to diversify the collection by purchasing pieces by artists of color. The libraries are actually part of the Johns Hopkins collection and students can make appointments to come read them or use them for research. There are some nature books and some Audubon books that are so large that they require two people to move and turn the pages. There is also a reading room for students. It was previously their bedroom, which they didn't want displayed. There are some fun little quirky rich people things (if you dissociate from today's capitalistic hell). A 23K gold bathroom. The second wife who lived in the residence was obsessed with herself and had multiple paintings and busts of herself around the home. And her bathtub was surrounded by mirrors, including a mirror on the ceiling. A bowling alley that was turned into a display space for all their expensive artificacts. A lot of Tiffany glass. Antiquities. My admission was 10 dollars with a AAA discount. I think regular admission is 12 dollars.

Our tour guide was really knowledgeable and explained a lot about each room and answered all of our questions. There are a lot of beautiful and unique objects, even though unfortunately photograph isn't allowed in the good rooms. The sheer amount of books they owned and how they present them is pretty inspiring. The Garrett's having their own performance/stage area is pretty unique, and you can even rent the space out if desired. At the end, there's a great display of their Asian art collection, and then suddenly you are back in the gift shop where you started, which has some good items. The tour was more than an hour, but it was really interesting, and all the employees were excited to answer questions, so you could see their passion. It's a great tour and worth doing if in Baltimore.

If you ask them to do something for you, they do it, they don't forget, you don't need to follow up with them. The library is always clean, including the bathrooms. They have an outgoing mail tray sitting on the counter that library patrons are welcome to use, saving us a trip to a mailbox or to the post office.
