Open seven days a week! Families have the whole floor to themselves. No need to shush your little ones while they play. Lots of activities to meet all levels of readers and pre-reader tactile play needs. Access to the Serenity Garden will bring you some much needed peace if you are living with child induced interrupted sleep. Charming town with lots of local shops and eateries within walking distance.
I go to small-town public libraries all over, from Rye to Lenox MA to Wellfleet and beyond. Katonah is my favorite. They have coffee! And all the newspapers! And so many intimate spaces!
Some of the staff here are unfortunately very rude and pretentious. You can approach the circulation desk and I’ve had it happen multiple times that they didn’t even acknowledge my presence, despite the fact that they were not busy or attending to other patrons at the time. This is certainly not true of all the staff here, but it has happened to me multiple times with multiple staff members, in addition to having experienced other rude and inconsiderate behavior from them, and it’s always very upsetting. I always conduct myself in a kind and courteous manner and I hope for and value similar treatment in return. The library has wonderful program offerings and their facilities are beautiful, but more tact, professionalism, and friendliness amongst the staff would certainly be appreciated.
I brought my two young grandsons there on Saturday afternoon and they had a wonderful time. The children's library is downstairs, spacious and comfortable. There is a lovely train table, puzzles, games, a large book selection and reading areas. There is a little garden but we didn't go out because of the snow! As far as I could see there were only two computers, which I liked as sometimes visiting a library can just end up as more screen hours. We will certainly be back! The librarian was also very pleasant and welcoming.
How can someone not like it? It is cozy it is quiet and at the same time it is fun to be at. I can tell you one thing, wish I could come here more often.
