Schenectady County Public Library: Hon Karen B. Johnson Main Library

A busy library with offerings for all ages and across all media. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Film series is fun and a great option on a rainy day. My first visit was frustrating as every adult in every section I went to was on a phone. Here's a hint -- want a quiet spot to read a book -- the children's and teen's area is quite a find.

I love this library. It is the example of a central library location. Staff are friendly and helpful. Knowledgeable too! There is always fun exhibits and stuff to do. Today they had a display of Star Wars toys. Too fun! Always a good stop. Highly recommend. If you found this review helpful please let me know by"liking" it. Thanks.

Normally is a good quiet place where nobody bothers you for no reason but I was bothered by a staff member for doing hair in the library , which I’ve done hair before multiple times with no issues, but for some reason they told me to leave and finish it outside after I already was there for 3 hours doing hair. They made up some random health violation policy to try and embarrass me but that staff member is the embarrassment👎🏽👎🏽🍅🍅she’s just bored and had nothing better to do as her boring job of being a librarian, it’s honestly pathetic🤷‍♀️smh..

This Library has some of the best selection of books in the capital area. Great size rooms and vestibule to match.

Wow I was shocked how good this place was. It was busy with local traffic, but the librarians were very cordial and helpful. They had a lot of services and easy to find parking.
