Gladwyne Library

Simply said, we love the Gladwyne Library! Located in a beautiful old stone building in Gladwyne village, it is such a warm and inviting place. The Librarians and staff are wonderful and always have recommendations. The Children's section is downstairs which allows the kiddos to roam a bit more freely. The events are so much fun and vary from painting dragon eyes on rocks, making cryptid artwork, designing Chinese Lanterns for New Years, and so much more. As for borrowing, of course, there is an amazing collection, but you can also reserve books from all over Montgomery County, download directly to devices, as well as borrow STEM kits and so much more. Thank you to the Librarians for everything you do for the community and our family!

The Gladwyne Free Library is a treasure trove of local resources. The staff are generally very friendly and helpful, I wanted to find out about local history and they gave me access to a box full of newspaper clippings and articles on the local history of Gladwyne. I learnt more in that one day going through the box and their local history resource room with maps and almanacs than for the last couple of years living here. There is a great variety of books, cds, dvds here as well for any of the usual library requirements as well as a great children’s section downstairs that also has a computer for young children to use. On certain days there are also events for children and you can get family passes here for Philadelphia museums and galleries.

I just love the Children's library at this library. It is very cozy and the librarian us so kind.

A little quiet library and the suburbs. Friendly staff. Small children section. Okay periodicals. Small selection of books. A decent travel book section. Interesting map 🗺️ that shows where people take their books 📚 📖 around the world 🌎🌍

This is a very nice library! The librarians were nice and very helpful.
