Chevy Chase Neighborhood Library is a great place to study and have time of peace and do what you need to do. I tried Starbucks, tried time sharing places, even tried offices, the library is the place I can accomplish the most. Staff are nice and welcoming for new people. I wish they could walk me to the shelf I needed, and not just point in general direction, the obviously want enough. But one of the library visitors was happy to help. Very quiet library. Lots of places to choose. And staff that could be little better.

Its one of the more larger libraries in MOCO. I was looking…read morefor a book... thats a best seller. However all the libraries in the area had long waiting lists. They have Lucky Day shelves. Which means those books with waiting lists sometimes will be there. I bypassed that 4 week waiting period. I came initially to use one of their conference rooms. Which is huge and spacious. They have a discovery room which is a huge sensory play area that I use to take my littles that they absolutely loved. Teachers can also reserve the room during the week for a hour. However use caution. Idk if those toys are sanitized. So make sure your littles dont put it in their mouth. Lots of computers to use, or bring your own laptop. Wifi is good. However their printing is expensive... .15 cents for regular and i think .99 cents for color. They also have classes, especially if you wanna learn how to knit, or play mahjong. They also have reading time for the littles.

The staff is professional, courteous, and helpful. But, today, I want to talk less about their regular services and more about the special way they helped the community by dispensing covid masks and tests. I arrived about 15 minutes ahead of time and the line of people wrapped all around the parking lot, down the street, and around the parallel street. I was unsure if they would have enough masks or tests for everyone in line. But, promptly at twelve the line began to move. It was quick and efficient. We wound through the entrance door and table was set up handing out tests and masks. It took about 10 minutes to get through the long line and exit through the opposite door. The library employees were wonderful. I have never seen such a large operation move so smoothly. So, if you need a book, need help searching for information on a subject, or need Covid masks and tests, Potomac Library is there for you! Thanks President Biden and Potomac Library.

However this library is a lot smaller than Gburg or Germantown. The computers are kind of in the center and just a few stations. To my dismay, they are all clumped together. Unlike Gaithersburg where people are spaced out. I like my personal space but there are some grown folks that don't cover there mouths when they cough and sneeze...or leave their tissues on the table and not take it with them when they leave. I strongly suggest bring your own wipes and wipe down your area.. as if you were at the gym. My second ick... is the kids You have kids that will take up the computers to play Robloxs or Minecraft. The time limit is about 1 hour but the librarian will usually extend your time. My favorite part of this library is that they have a Lucky Day shelf with books that are very popular That you can get without being on a long waiting list. Maybe because I've been around the country and visit different libraries and we are definitely not like NYC -Brooklyn or Denver. Where they have tons of amenities .

The architecture is really interesting, modern, and lovely, including lots of windows--which give the library tons of natural light and expansive view of the outside--and unique designs throughout. There's even a bridge outside connecting one area of the holding to the other. The library is also handicapped accessible and has a huge parking lot. There's a sign out front that says "no vaping"--must have been an issue enough times to necessitate a sign. I picked up a book that I placed on hold without much trouble and checked out with no lines. An ideal experience. The checkout staff was willingly helpful and friendly.

Rockville has five, at best. -Lots of couches in the kids area to read books to your little one. Cons: -The room used for music time for kids was bursting at the seams, with half the parents standing outside the room. Surely there must be a bigger room to use, right? I opt to go to a library in DC (Cleveland Park) that puts on story time almost daily, instead. -Montgomery County PL has some really uptight, annoying rules. I brought in a bag of books to return (only containing books), also was holding my baby, diaper bag, etc, and the librarian insisted I take the books out of the bag myself. Only having one arm I attempted to dump the bag out on the counter and of course nearly all of them fell on the floor, leaving me to scramble to pick them up while still holding the baby. Thanks. So much.

I never had a single one of my khan academy videos give me the "loading" signal. I'm military so they gracefully granted me a card even though I don't have a state address but i feel compelled to say usually there is a 10$ out of state fee. The only thing bad I can say about this location is that it was hot the first time I went (like 90+ outside) and it smelled a little stale inside. It's not THE MOST beautiful high tech library I've ever seen but honestly if it was it wouldn't be so welcoming.

On my last visit I arrived shortly after 10am on a Tuesday morning (when their website said they opened) and there was already a crowd of ladies with their toddlers and preschoolers waiting for the stories and songs to begin. That would be okay if they stayed in the children's section, but no, once that class was filled the ones that decided to hang out for the 11:00 toddler time class just set their charges free in the rest of the library. Since the public libraries don't carry professional periodicals and journals I needed to do some online research. This library has several web-connected computers to use, only they are out in the open, not in a private room. The problem with that is when a nanny decides to leave her baby stroller (with baby intact) parked behind you while she peruses the chic lit, it can get annoying, especially if the toddler is calling out to deaf ears. As for the library itself, it does its job: lend books. It is easy to get to (not by Metro) and has plenty of free parking.

Often times than not when you come and try to find a table, you will find people socializing, or people sleeping at computers rather than letting people who need to study or do work, actually be here. I do prefer the 4th floor quiet study which again is not big enough. There are just too many people on this campus and not enough space. I cannot say that for when I came here 4 years ago. I have seen the starbucks line downstairs over 22 people and I'm not joking. It was one of the craziest things I've ever seen but every single one of them waited. We need more space or less people because this cannot be an effective library.
