Baltimore County Public Library - Essex Branch

Great staff they help with what ever you need and they try there best to help as much as they can

Trash. Purely and wholeheartedly. Visited this place for the first time today with my son. The amount of rudeness we experienced just spoke of the in adequacies of the establishment in the staff. The place is tiny yet the dusty old buffalo behind the counter couldn’t be bothered to help us look for certain genre or even show interest in her position at all. My son needed to register for a library card. That too was a hassle and we were made to feel like a bother. When handed anything she would give it back to me by slamming it on the desk. Every so often she would glance up with the most cringy smile. Show casing a brownish crooked grin. I’ve never wanted to leave such a place in my life. I damn near felt like we might have accidentally stumbled into the Hills Have Eyes and may become trap

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but inside is very nice. Lots of light, books galore, newspapers, audio-books, comics, movies, computer stations and is very clean looking. There is a children's section too.

Love the library!! There's always something fun going on there. Also, a lot of people do not know ALL of the Amazing things that you can check out. Not just books guys and girls... Telescopes, lawn games, hiking and adventure backpacks, Fishing Poles, Etc... If you haven't been there for a while, definitely check it out! Each location has different activities at different times. You can even play Nintendo Switch and PlayStation if you have a valid ID or Driver's license! Pretty cool!

Very helpful Liberian, polite, and friendly. They help me with making my copies, printing, etc and beyond. This library should be a perfect example for others in the county, state and even the nation.
