What People Are Saying:
The best library I have ever seen and been in. They have so many programs for children and adults and they are free! Not just that, but I really appreciate the free printing that they have for their residents. Great staff, always friendly and knowledgeable. Many hearts to them, and please continue to do great things for your community!
My first experience in a library in the US was at Glenside Library. New to this place, I was wondering how to enroll and find my way. A lady at the desk made me feel comfortable and in just a few minutes I became a member. Ever since that day I have been going to the library to read and spend time with books. Thank you Glenside for making my very first step in the library a beautiful experience.
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.
