I love bringing my children here and it has to be at least among the top two libraries for children…read morein Cumberland County. The entire bottom floor is designated for the youth. There are board games for children to play, puzzles for varying age ranges, magnetic tiles and even a small slide for small toddlers. There are also preloaded computer games for children to get involved with, along with of course a great selection of books. My children enjoy spending hours here and it's very popular on rainy days among parents. I'm very glad I found this library!

This library is very VERY dated. To get a library card it took 10 minutes to fill out a paper form…read moreand provide the necessary proof of residency documents. The children's toys look like they've been there for decades. The location of the children's area is in the basement and very dingy smelling. All that said, it has a cute puppet area, the board games and puzzles are fun and I like that the whole basement is for children so it doesn't disrupt adult areas of the building.

From the outside, the library looks very nice. Inside, it's a bit sloppy and loud. Very loud…read more Unsupervised children running throughout the main stacks while there is an empty dedicated children's area available. Seating/table space was hard to come by as many patrons, some clearly homeless, were using them as a place to sleep. By far the most difficult instance was a profoundly mentally ill young man. He was running back and forth through the library, running very near other patrons who were clearly startled and upset, yelling at his laptop. He did this next to the service desk and no one so much as raised an eye. I assumed he was a regular. The actual collection seemed pointed to a much younger demographic with board games, video game stations, videos, music, and large displays of graphic novels. If you are looking for older books or classics, you will be disappointed. As I was there to research a topic of historical Christianity, I was shocked at how little was available. If you fit the demographic, you will most likely be happy if the noise doesn't bother you. If you are middle aged and hoping to use the library for basic research, you will be better served somewhere else. I grew up using this library but am saddened to see what it has become.

Great library. The facility is nice; it's not brand new, but it feels welcoming. The librarians…read morewere so helpful and kind; they made getting a library card an easy, fun, and quick process. I'm looking forward to going to some of their activities and using the facilities.

The Fredericksen Library has been one of the libraries I've taken my kids to for almost 12 years,…read moreand it continues to be one of our favorites. One of the things I love most is that the children's library has its own downstairs entrance, which makes it really easy when you're visiting with little kids. As soon as you walk in, the information desk is right at the front, and the self-checkout stations are conveniently located on the right, making grabbing and returning books quick and simple. The children's area itself is bright and welcoming, with tons of windows and natural light, which makes it feel open and calm instead of crowded. My kids especially love the play area, and there's plenty to keep them busy. Some of the highlights include: * Interactive wall activities where kids can flip pieces, match items, and move little balls through tracks * Puppet theater play * Interactive computers * A fish tank they enjoy checking on * A coloring area * A wide variety of books for different ages There's also lots of seating, which makes it easy for parents to sit and read while the kids explore. They host storytimes in the children's library, and there's also a separate room used for programs and events. Even when we're not attending a scheduled program, the play space alone easily keeps my kids entertained for an hour or more. Another thing I appreciate is how family-friendly the layout is. Inside the children's library there are two bathrooms with changing tables, which is incredibly convenient when you're visiting with little ones. There's also an additional larger restroom outside of the children's area with stalls and another changing table. Parking is easy, with street parking near the lower-level entrance and a parking lot available as well. Outside the children's library there's extra seating, and depending on when you visit, the library café is open with really reasonable prices for coffee and snacks, which is a nice bonus during longer visits. This is definitely one of those places where we can easily stay for a few hours between playing, reading books, and just enjoying the space. After visiting for so many years, it's still one of our go-to libraries, and I know we'll keep coming back.

This library is such a wonderful resource & staple for the Camp Hill community!…read more The selection of books for adults is truly amazing! They also have a wonderful children's library as well! The staff is always so helpful, kind, and friendly! From having to pay fines or even just asking a general question everyone who I have interacted with has been very helpful! The story times are also very wonderful! Amy who reads to the kids is always so positive, fun, and outgoing allowing the kids to really get into the story and songs to have a great time! They have story time two days every week & they are always so great! I definitely would recommend if you have a little one to check out the story times! What's also great about this library is that it is apart of the Cumberland County Libraries! So if you want a specific book, but it's at a different location you can still request it because of being apart of the county libraries! Definitely check this library out if you haven't!

They sacrifice good employees to bring in political plants that don't know their job. They have someone there now who falls asleep during meetings, can't do his job effectively, has been there over a year and had to be retrained. They chose this individual over competent, long term employees who could have done the job better (of course that person is now fixing all his mistakes). They don't care as long as those fat salaries are safe! It's disgusting!

There's pros and cons to this place…read more Pros: - Staff are very nice and helpful - Parking is available, it is behind the building - Play center for kids - Computer lab, fax, books, videos Cons: - Play center is small and less kid friendly than the library in Hallam - Privacy - I've gone there and there are people on the phone talking about their relationships in the quiet area - Small - This is probably something they will have difficulty fixing, there are only 2 quiet rooms available and it's only available for 2 hours, which means mostly likely you can stay study or do work in the quiet room, but the issue is see above Overall: It's a good place for kids and parents and services, but it's not so good in terms of studying or reading as there are chances of disturbances.

Martin Library does have free parking. You need to go to the main desk and ask for a parking pass…read morefor your rearview mirror. The free parking is a toss the street and behind the gigantic Presbyterian church at the corner of Market Street and Queen Street. I love Martin Library. They keep up to date on current titles. If you need a book that they don't have in the York County Library system they will interlibrary lon it for you. For example, I asked for a history book that York County Library didn't have. Two weeks later they had borrowed it from Lebanon Valley College for me! For free!

I delayed renewing my license and obtaining my Real ID because of the stories I heard about people…read morewaiting in long, slow-moving lines and not having the correct identification for a Real ID. I knew not to go on Monday because the PA DOT Driver's License Center in Enola is closed. It gets hectic on Thursday, Friday, and weekends. I opted for today, a Wednesday. I was in and out within one hour, thanks to Craig, who processed my Real ID documents, and Stacey, the photo lady.

So here's the facts: I entered the line at 11:15am. I left…read moreat 4:15pm. The crowd was crazy! So many people there for real ID. I'm not sure if it would be different on a weekday but it was crazy. If you're going on a Saturday or Sunday, I would get there as SOON as the doors open, or else you will be waiting for literal hours. It's not that the staff isn't working, but surely there's a more efficient way to handle things? Aside from that, the staff was nice! The woman at the end of the first line was checking everyone's documents to make sure they had everything they needed before they took a ticket for the larger waiting room. The process itself to get my real ID took five minutes. I'd recommend going with a full stomach, a book, or taking a friend to chat with/ befriend some other people in line or else it'll move at a snail's pace. Don't be miserable and you'll be fine.

Much better today. Maybe they read my review? Office workers were nice and helpful. I got done…read morewhat I needed to get done. See you in 2 weeks for court.
