Good Library.
I finally went in to get my Library card, it wasn’t busy at all and the Lady there was friendly and helped me register very quickly and gave me all the information I needed to know.
The library is dated but to my surprise they had a good selection of books. Apparently with the WNY Card you can go to other Libraries like North Bergen, Weehawken.
I borrowed 2 books that had been on my wishlist, happy to have found them there 📚

I recently visited this library and to be honest, it's very different from most of the ones I've visited in the US. The staff were not welcoming. They made me feel like a total stranger. I was very uncomfortable the whole time there. I did mention to them that I had come from California, and was there to explore the library. But they kept mentioning to me about free books. I wasn't there for any free book!!!! I saw that there weren't much collections when compared to other libraries that I've visited.
Good selection of new books. Requested books come within 3-5 days, however (maybe I don't know system) need to request a book thru reference librarian- u can't do it yourself like other libraries!
I have been trying to call for a couple days now and the number isn't even working. Then I go onto the WNY free public library system website and enter my barcode from the back of my card and attempt to log in...well it won't let me login either. If someone has a better way of calling the library I'd appreciate the help.

Today I went to giveaway some books, they weren’t old. And to my surprise a young fellow took only two Soros’ books and the rest he didn’t want to take and when he saw a religious book, he acted like he was offended.
I thought a library is a please which should take all books, not only select ones.
Maybe if I had brought books of Marx, Lenin, and other communists/ globalists he would have taken them.
Is any overseeing this library?

Noisy, Noisy, Noisy, and Noisy unprofessional people works here. poor management. Is this a library or hangout place? Right now a Workers is on a LOUD speaker phone taking about her life with her friend. whoever is the Director of this library she should get FIRED!!!
It's a Good library with a Kindly Staff. I Hope they Reopen it Again. The only Breaking Point is, So Bad this Branch don't have associations with Inter-Librarys Networks like BCCLS OR PALS-PLUS!!! however I Wonder if they are associated to any Consortium???? Or at Least I Think they Should Associate with PALS-PLUS, or M.A.I.N, Or L.M.X.A.C, because they have Actualized Computers And a Educated Staff, Unlike The Rudest Staff of Libraries like: Cedar Groove, Denville, or East Rutherfor.
Book selection leaves much to be desired. Not one passionate 'librarian' in sight. What happened to the love of reading? The love of turning an ACTUAL page, not just swiping left on a touch screen? On a good note, my son really enjoys getting books to read and he loves the coloring pages offered in the children's area. He is an avid reader (like his mama) so we get quite a few books. You are allowed 10 books at a time which is great.
