This may not be the program for you if you know your child would get overstimulated, but the kids play area is wonderful. There's a play table and rug with plenty of toys along with seating for parents. I could see this being a go-to spot for play dates! Note that there's two entrances to the building that go to different floors.

What a great idea, you are allowed 35 minute to start and if no one else needs to use it, they will extend your computer time till you finish up your work! This library has 8 computers. Also, if you want to explore the museums in Philadelphia and Chester County pick up passes from the library because they are free and they even give you a parking pass! How nice. We went to the art museum and it was wonderful! The library has so many different books, magazines, audiobooks and tapes but also classes you can take and adventures for the kiddos! They offer a wealth of information to you and your family. In addition, there was multiple tax applications and documents you may need this season if you are doing your own taxes, if not they have several resources for filing your taxes for free and not so free. Please check it out and support your local library, the library is open for business everyday of the week till 8 pm except Friday till 5pm, Saturday till 4pm and Sunday till 5pm, with free parking and handicap accessible parking. Don't forget to register for your free library card and please make a donation to help fund our community library if you can!!

Well there are and we aren't! My sister suggested we go to one last week and I did a little digging on their site. Queried children's events and there you have it! Infants' play group on Thursdays at 10am. I never remember the library has awesome programing. I was the first mom/baby combo the so we had free reign on the climbing toys, stuffed animals, balls and books for a few. Two other little girls crashed our solo party and that put the space at about capacity for the roaming walking babies. It was a good time had by all. Cheers to you for doing your job, Delco Library system. Someone please remind me to keep going!

Media's new library has achieved the inglorious distinction of blowing a huge and expensive…read moreopportunity for greatness. First the positive. The exterior architecture is a fantastic attempt at retaining the borough's brick past. This building could have been thrown up with cheaper construction materials like vinyl siding, or fake brick like some other homes popping up in Media, but they used the real deal. Good ole brick. The building is visually appealing with a nice porch on the front. The sidewalk utilizes stamped concrete brick impressions. While not real brick, stamped concrete brick is better for maintenance, liability, it mimics the look of brick effectively and has more appeal than just a concrete sidewalk. There are awkward exterior elements though. Why they did not build a deck or outdoor porch on the rear 2nd floor of the building is beyond comprehension. If it was money related, understood, but I hope the architect left the possibility down the road to allow for this with no structural changes needed. The front also has two oddities. On the side of the porch is a patio with etched bricks with names of the donors. Nice idea, but functionally weird. No seats, benches and symmetrically out of place. Seems like someone threw a dart at the plans to pick the spot to put the "donor brick patio." The other oddity is the 2nd floor porch that never was. There are doors opening to a porch that can accommodate about one half of your foot. Odd. Overall though, the exterior is to be commended for its adherence to Media's brick legacy. The inside is what makes this love story turn into a mystery. When you walk in, you are overwhelmed with the antiseptic, white bland interior of what could double as a hospital waiting room. This looks like the result of design by committee when communal input in the floor planning process sucks the life out of the project (either that or a completely unimaginative and boring architect). With many fantastic libraries to draw inspiration from in the area namely Bryn Mawr's new library, I find it disappointing that Media did not go all in and do something as amazing, or at least compare itself to other great local library offerings. There is no aesthetically, inviting quality interior spaces to relax with a book without feeling like you are a patient of Nurse Ratched. Its all very stark. Book rows, computer rows, a long "technology" bar with stools that I still don't know what purpose it serves. The children's room lacks imagination and playfulness. They carried over the one bathroom plan from the old library which also is a disappointment. During the construction process, the size of the hole in the ground suggested a huge basement with high ceilings, that would make a great computer lab or rentable meeting or party space. Reality? Its storage. The 2nd floor is equally perplexing. It's a series of again, oddly sized mundane rooms with zero personality. One room that has a glimmer of personality is the room with a conference table that houses the double doored, half inch porch that overlooks Bryn Mawr Running Co. Expectations for this place were large. Media was going big and it was going to be great. And while the exterior dazzles, the innards of the building couldn't be more boring. (A situation that could be improved with guidance from an interior designer.) This new Media-Upper Providence Library serves a purpose, use the computer or get a book/movie and return it. This inside of the library was built with the same approach as buildings built in the 70's and 80's, utility. As for a warm, inviting place for people to come, use the computer, read a magazine, spend time inside; I'd rather go to Taylor Hospital and pull up a chair at Intake, for it has more charm.

The library is a single floor, with an adult side and a kid side. The kid side has lots of books (of course), as well as toys geared toward younger children, such as a wooden train set and blocks. There is also an open play area for kids to hang out, which mostly seems to attract the elementary school and under crowd. Despite having somewhat limited hours, the library bulletin board is full of weekly activities and classes, like mah jong and arts clubs. I haven't checked out the events, but they seem great if you're looking for weekday activities for people of all ages. Public libraries are an essential 'third space' to foster community and encourage lifelong learning. I was glad to see lots of people enjoying the Rachel Kohl community library on a recent weekend afternoon, and I'll definitely be back.

This is a nice library, though their parking lot could use a bit of expanding. It's small and quaint, but they have a nice selection of books. I have honestly seen better in the area, but for a small town library, it's as good as it should be. Their children's program's are off the chart, though. They have something most days of the week, and their toddler music classes are phenomenal! Miss Terry (I hope I'm spelling her name right) is wonderful with the children, and her class is similar quality to the one I paid a lot of money to attend when my older daughter was one. This one is free! My girls love it (though we haven't been in a while) and I would highly recommend checking their programs out. You won't be disappointed.

Yes, we were 10 minutes late however her lack of any iota of customer service was shocking for such a nice library and other very lovely librarians. This lady could not answer any questions in regard to the form and made no effort to be helpful in any way. She kicked us out 20minutes later as appointments are apparently only 30 minutes on the dot. It is also $35 processing fee per person applying, I guess that's the price for extra rudeness.
