What People Are Saying:
This is a wonderful library with friendly and knowledgeable staff. They have up-to-date resources and are always updating their facilities to accommodate the new resources. I really can’t say enough positive things about this library. I’m very lucky to have such a great library to use.
I have been going to the Glenside Library for more than ten years but particularly many times in the past four years since my son was born. I really enjoy the children’s section there. I love the way the books are arranged by subject which makes it easy for me to find whatever type of book he is interested in, whether it’s dinosaurs or trucks. I also love the children’s programs. I’ve been to the baby story time, toddler story time, and many of the special holiday events and special programs.
As I had a second child, it was also wonderful to be able to bring them both to a program together to enjoy it. They have many programs where children can earn prizes for reading or being read to as well, like the 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten program and the summer reading program. I was sad to move away a few months ago and always compare my new library to the Glenside Library, and sadly my new one just isn’t as nice.
One of the best, great staff, very helpful and up to date technology. Free fax, scan and email, and print up to 50 pages per day. No other library comes close. This is what I call tax dollars well spent. I wish other libraries would do the same.
