I love my local library! Seriously Chrissy, the worst library you've ever gone to?! Bah humbug!…read more I've never found this library to be overly "loud." And the staff are nothing but kind and helpful! Sure this library is much tinier than other libraries but it's just what one needs. If they don't carry a book or movie you can easily order it from the library computer system, and it will arrive within a few days. I personally love this library because of the kids section downstairs. My daughter LOVES going to the library! She loves story time (shoutout to Miss Erin and Miss Nina) and the arts and crafts that sometimes goes along with it. They have puzzles for the kids to play with and other fun games. The library even holds fun events for people of all ages - in the library and on The Village Green. There is knitting, movie night, yoga, crafts, etc! They hold a kickoff to the summer reading season on The Village Green and one night they had a telescope night where you could look at the moon and Saturn. My little one loved it! Thanks for having so many fun activities! I look forward to what the future holds for my little local library.

I know when to pick up and when the books are due back. So you can pop in to grab your books or media and be on your way in minutes. This library has a variety of programs and clubs/groups that meet across a pretty wide range. Tonight there was a light opera group preforming.. Bergen county has a pretty great library system and loans to member libraries card holders. Another thing that this library often has are discount coupons for broadway and off broadway shows in the city. They even sometimes have dinner theater discounts. People often forget that tax forms and public transportation schedules are often available too. Media isn't just books on tape. It is music and movies too, check it out. Be a Uber Recycler and use your library!

If you need a handicap placard renewed you do not need an appt. But if you had mailed in your original paperwork and it went missing they do not except copies so you need to get your doctor to fill it all over again and give you a new script. So that part was annoying but Carly and her male colleague was super helpful and they got my stuff processed quickly. They remembered me from being there the previous day. I was told not to mail it but go in person or have a friend go for me because what happened to me is common. My mailed in paperwork went missing or was lost. So I took one star off because the website failed to mention copies of my original form and doctors sceipt and not acceptable.

In fact, this was the BEST experience I've ever had with the NJ MVC. I usually go to the Lodi location, but I had to go to this one for a vehicle registration renewal. Appointments are REQUIRED. No walk-ins. Schedule an appointment online as soon as you can because slots fill up quickly. My appointment was for 9:25AM on a Monday. I was expecting long lines with horrendous wait times. Boy, I was wrong. I arrived half an hour early and finished in SEVEN MINUTES. I was shook! The process was simple. I walked in, checked in with my appointment, showed proof of ID, handed in my renewal application, paid, and then left. All in 7 minutes. Every single employee was patient and pleasant. No one was rude or grumpy. I know they're notorious for being rude, but sometimes I can't blame them because they deal with, uh.... some interesting characters. Tips? Read the MVC website. Some services can be done online and some require an in-person visit. Make sure you have ALLLLLL of the required documents before your visit, so there's no surprises. Print and fill out forms beforehand. Come prepared. EXTRA prepared. Don't be one of those people who complain about the MVC when you clearly came unprepared because you couldn't bother to read. LOL Thank yaaaaaaaaaaaa!

At the risk of sounding arrogant, I'm used to larger parks-- parks that offer baseball, soccer, and…read morefootball fields, hiking and running trails, hockey rinks, picnic tables, outdoor grills, facilities for large groups to gather indoors, water fountains, bathrooms, ample parking lots, even...disc golf. Sunset Memorial Park is miniscule in comparison to them, and it offers...well, benches to sit down on and enjoy the scenery that presents itself. Just to be clear, I don't mean that as a dig. I like the park, although I've never spent a lot of time in it. And...at the risk of belaboring my life story...I had virtually no familiarity with Rutherford at all...its parks or anything else about it...until my birth mother located me (with the somewhat reluctant assistance of the Lutheran Agency through which I had been adopted many moons earlier) and reached out approximately 20 years ago. At that time, my maternal grandmother resided not far from where Sunset Memorial Park is located. This is the area where my birth mother spent her teenage years (she spent her childhood years in Hoboken). It's where I first met my genetic relatives, who were...thankfully...warm and welcoming. I never felt I was replacing the family I was raised with...they were, and always will be, my family...but I have expanded that family, and consider my relatives...both genetic and adopted...family. My late grandmother loved this park and would come here often up until her final years, when her son (my uncle) moved her down to North Carolina and out of the old family residence. I've only actually walked in the park once or twice, and found it pleasant enough, but I pass here often when driving to visit my birth mother. She tells a story of how her father, a decent guy by all accounts, but a bit of the tyrannical puritan (he died years before my reunion with my genetic family took place, and I unfortunately was never able to meet him, but I think, if I can play the dime store psychiatrist about someone whose genes I carry but never actually encountered face to face, he was probably somewhat conflicted emotionally and perhaps psychologically; his father's family were wealthy Protestants originally from New Hampshire, which certainly clashed...religiously and culturally...with his mother's Brooklyn working-class Irish Catholicism; he insisted his children be raised as Congregationalists, but when he had had a few beers and was feeling no pain, he was not adverse to singing "Danny Boy" and other Irish classics, often in the company of his maternal Irish relatives, whom he revered), came upon a teenaged couple "making out" in the park and brusquely told them to move on and to take it somewhere else. My birth mother was mortified and embarrassed. (It's ironic, perhaps, that I was "conceived" in a house just a stone's throw from the park and born to teenagers who were also "making out.") In addition to being small, the park is sort of on a tilt, so when you walk around it, you're almost walking at an angle. It's well cared for and landscaped with thorough professionalism (U.S. Veterans have worked together to revitalize it), and it does have more than enough benches for sitting. Is there much to see from those benches? Well...Rutherford is a nice Bergen County town. It seems to have aged well. The houses surrounding the park are not new, but they're well kept, and there are abundant trees in the vicinity (Rutherford is often referred to as "the borough of trees"). Of course, not far distant, across the polluted Passaic River (with numerous homeless people living on its banks), is the grimy, often dangerous, always depressing city of Passaic. As invariably happens in life, grim reality is never far off from intruding upon whatever peace and restorative tranquility we can temporarily find for ourselves. But, for all that, it's still a nice place to sit, reflect, meditate, and contemplate life in all its ramifications and complexities. To relax, maybe have a conversation with a friend, or friends. It's definitely an old park (according to a marker set up near its perimeter, it was established in 1905 on land donated by Henry Jackson, whoever he was), so it has that certain timeless quality and sense of history about it. Just don't expect to play any disc golf while you're here.
