I love the summer activities for the children. The  staff is polite and courteous, assisting the children with whatever is that days events.

I'm not overly impressed as some are with this library. While the staff is helpful it seems their hours of operation aren't that great. Most days they open at 10, some days are 12. There have been many times this summer they were closed for air conditioner issues. They only give you a half hour on the computer, which forces me to bring my own laptop so I can actually finish work. They do have summer programs for children and are involved in the community, I'm just not "gaa gaa" over this library. Its a little small and I don't use the bathroom ever, Idk why 😔. I usually come there do what I have to do and get outta there. I just remember going to a library and being able to hang out and get lost in a book. Here you really can't. Its on a busy street, a lot of foot traffic and usually full of children whose parents work on 5th st and dump them there. Its alright.

This is one of the nicest library in Philadelphia. Why, I am glad you asked? (1) the employees are polite, kind, humbly , and always ready to help. I am a college student and I need to go there some times. I am comfortable and received all the help I need when I have question. I  can finish work, study, and receive  help when needed. The staff is the best staff of the many Libraries that I have visit in Philadelphia. I am not saying all are bad, but, I look forward to going to this library! They  will order you a book and call you when it is ready.  They will also, go out their way to help you as much as possible.WOW! 5-Star!

It's a nice place. What stops me from going there is the security guard really. Just like the review from 2 years ago, he always looks mean for no reason and talks about almost everybody that comes into the library.

They should give more time at the computer 30 mins sometimes is just not long enough
