It did have a wall of popular magazines as you enter. I hardly have an opportunity to chill w a magazine these days. It's got a nice kids section and seems more like a family library. I was looking for a more robust large library besides the ones downtown. Once I learn the train, I can chill more in downtown. This library did have pretty flowers outside but was a bit boring for me.

Well lit and bright, clean. The staff has been really kind and helpful. There's tons of computers,…read moretables, and seats to study at or just read. They have tons of things beyond books too! There's library passes, yard games, even a power washer. Lots of games and even baking pans. Really neat. I've noticed they even have events for kids/teens.

My son was at a camp at Swarthmore College, and I needed a place to camp out and do some work. The…read morePublic Library fit the bill. Very friendly staff, nice quiet environment (I mean, it is a library) and most importantly, accessible power outlets and free internet.

This is a great library because of the staff and volunteers. Hands down, they make this place…read moregreat. They breath life into the aisles and shelves. Let's count the ways: 1. Awesome CD collection - Ok. I get it. CDs are dying and downloads are rising. I am a raving fan of Spodify but not all my bands are on it. So there are some CDs I need to get to upload to iTunes. SPL helps me. 2.) Spectacular DVD section - another thing that has gone the way of streaming but most everyone still has a DVD player. They offer a nice taste of everything: foreign, documentary, independent and major studio. There's a nominal fee required but it's a pittance compared to the theaters. 3.) The Shelves - they do a nice job stocking books I enjoy reading in subjects that I'm passionate about 4.) The Delaware County Library System - I can request books and CDs from other libraries if Swarthmore doesn't stock it. And they are usually delivered quickly. Their website and ordering process is great. 5.) Their sales - used books, CDs, DVDs and delicious baked goods. Worth seeking them out!

Exactly what I needed to sit and get some work done, and a perfect place to bring kids…read more Seems mostly aimed at kids. There are stuffed animals and short chairs all over the place. It's a pretty small selection of adult nonfiction. There are games and the staff is very friendly. The adults section does have a place to sit and read or type. There's a magazine rack and good wifi. Very small room. Very clean. Plenty of parking.

Friendly and helpful staff! Always fun and creative activities for the kids, love it!read more

This library is ok but I go to the another location usually because it is closer. This library uses…read moreits space fairly well though sometimes I have trouble finding anything I'm looking for. Noise depends on what hours you come by. It's one of a few libraries around walking distance but it's just ok I guess overall.

Great little library. The librarians are nice, inviting, and although small the environment is warm…read moreand quaint. They have a limited selection of books; but the library actually has one of those old school library feels. I see the librarians greet the children by name as they come in from school. I even see some of the librarians let the children use the phone to make personal calls. It is a fantastic place. I'm hoping that it sticks around!
