👍👍 If you want to visit the famous Rose Room, you can't just walk in (unless you're doing research). You'll need to book a free guided tour through the library. They have tours 11am - 2pm. The rest of the library is beautiful too.

👍👍 We go there quite often as they have the bestest children's section. The upgrades done to that are so amazing that all of my friends and family who live elsewhere show willingness to visit this library whenever they visit us. Staff is helpful and friendly.

Nutley Public Library
Public library
😠 I use to love coming to this library because it was very convenient, but I won't be going here anymore. I don't understand the point of requesting books when it takes over a week to get them. Once this library receives the book, it is automatically checked out which is wrong. What happens if I don't...

👍 The Ridgewood Public Library is a great library in the BCCLS system. If you have a library card for any library in Bergen County, you can go to the library here, granted with some limitations. The Library has two floors, the bottom floor consisting of primarily children's books. They also have an e...

😠 I will not go back to this place, The lady almost ripped my head off because I didn't have my mask on ( rude as hell). And the staff are constantly walking around and making sure everyone have their mask on. I can't not work like this. I wasted a star it should be 0 stars!.

Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library
Public library
👍👍 The library is simply great. Not only does it contain an enormous amount of books in almost every genre, but it has a vast amount of resources accessible to any researcher. The utilization of computers by the librarians makes finding and checking out books efficient and stress fee. Furthermore, the...

Sunnyside Book and Media Swap, Public Library and Donation Center
Public library
👍👍 A concept difficult for some to understand: free books. This table is a labor of love. It’s a clean, friendly, well-lighted place, with books available for children as well as adults. It’s organized by a skeleton crew of volunteers, so the books are arranged mostly by size, but in general categories...

👍 Passport Applicants! Some information you’ll need to know if you’re applying or renewing here. Subject to change... Our approximate wait time was about 5 hours on a Sunday afternoon. This is no fault of the faculty at the Library. The faculty were very nice and extremely hardworking. (Posted 03/24/1...

😠 The customer service at this library is horrible. I have never felt so unwelcome at a library in my life. I really wish someone in management would address the disgruntled employees that work here, it truly creates an unhealthy environment. We come to the library to learn and not to be mistreated ....
