So the next day we decided to check it out. This place blew us away. The modern architecture is stunning with different levels, and there is even a fireplace. There is also a room dedicated just for magazines with the most current issues. If you like movies the library has an impressive selection of DVDs. Even their restrooms have fancy Dyson faucets. There is a cafe as well. One of the upper levels offers a nice outdoor patio balcony. Good to see the tax dollars going back to the community. No matter how old you are, go get yourself a library card. There is a parking garage nearby. It's a great way to spend the day reading a book or two.

I was here to donate some books. First they did not accept…read moreas they had been overflowed of donations, then I showed them books, then they accepted after evaluation. English literature they have stopped accepting books donation, and foreign language literatures, they would have to check, but most likely they won't accept. Be sure the foreign language books are educational and in mint condition. Inside the library was smaller than I thought, but it was cozy in each floor. Although the library is overall very quiet, I couldn't find an empty study room, during Summer vacation, and in the morning! Glad to see our younger generations still read and study!! Not only no study room available, but all seatings are occupied. Mix feeling ... I wonder how's it like during weekends. I decided to walk around before I left the library. There was an undone puzzles spread on the public table. Very cute and welcoming. The staffs are friendly and attentive.

As a kid going to the public library was always a drag because my appearance there was inevitably…read morelinked to a school project or two and not for nothing, I could never get the musty aroma of the card catalog out of my nose for weeks - not to mention the mold spore infestation and the ancient whiff of floral bath powder favored by the girdled golems that posed as librarians. Think prison matrons without the mirth. Go shush yourself, Mrs. Harris. Maybe David Lee Roth found them hot (or was he hot for teacher, I can't remember) but Diamond Dave was never in Nanuet, New York during the Ford administration when these stoic sentinels were more like Edsels. Trust me, in the days before Al Gore invented the internet, the library was a place you wanted to spend as little time in as humanly possible so you could rush back to the mall and do absolutely nothing. Fast forward to Plainsboro, New Jersey present day and the Plainsboro Public Library is a place built for comfort and social gathering. In fact, given the Stepford-like visage of the surrounding village, it seems to be the only place in this silent burb where life occurs in real time. Bright, spacious and full of hang out seating, plugs for your laptop and multiple rows of desktop PC's, the PPL is a fantastic place to hunker down on a project, job search, college hunt or just catch up on an endless assortment of newspapers and periodicals. Personally, I enjoy their wide-ranging selection of DVDs and CDs. And the staff (now Library Scientists) couldn't be nicer or more helpful. The Plainsboro Public Library - no card catalog, mold spores or fussbudget crones to make your visit a living hell. A very casual five stars. Hanging out in Stepford, New Jersey never felt so good. I haven't tried to check-out Dr. Suess lately but hopefully that little cancel culture sideshow is not going to be fodder for my next review. Bye for now, I think I see Katherine Ross and Tina Louise over by the printers.

Located at 354 Stockton Street, outside downtown Princeton, my partner and I were honored to achieve tickets for their self-guided tour of this beautiful Greek Revival mansion. The house was purchased by the State of New Jersey in the early 80s. Not all governors live here, but it is used for entertaining and other functions. Upon arrival, New Jersey State Troopers coordinated parking and entry into the mansion. Guests viewed six first-floor public rooms (the Governor's formal dining room, the sun porch, the parlor, the music and/or gathering room, the library, and the Governor's office) joyously decorated by the Garden Clubs of New Jersey using fresh arrangements and greenery that complemented the architecture and decor of each room. Enjoyed holiday piano music in the Music Room and a sweet treat freshly prepared at Greta's House. Docents were available in every room to answer questions. Interior photography was only permitted in the library before the magnificent stone fireplace. The interior was filled with history. The most fascinating part was the wallpaper in the dining room, painted by hand and beautiful. It was most definitely elaborate, ornate, shiny, and beautiful. We think there were some fascinating facts about our history and NJ, which we could recommend.
