Verona Public Library

Great programs for little ones of all ages! A well designed children's room and play spaces too

I’m a fan of working in public libraries. This one is very comfortable and cosier than its larger neighbour in Montclair. However, it has no culture of quiet, and even librarians talk loudly here, so one star off. If you need quiet, bring noise-cancelling headphones. Pleased to see the place honours my ancestor Andrew Carnegie, patron saint of public libraries. If I make a few billion in steel trusts, I shall endow an area here for quiet study.

Limited selections. Some Senior Citizens who appear to feel entitled. Staff polite if approached. Handicap parking limited. There is a handicap accessible entrance that is difficult to get to. Outside drop off. Which is also handicap challenged. Did not explore the bathrooms. There is an elevator. School children clothing the entrance with themselves and personal school items. It appears that this is a waiting area for parents to pick up after school. Disappointed Senior Citizen.

Amazing. Many books to choose from for research, pleasure, and even children. The wonderful librarians helped me find everything I needed. They have designated areas for teens and children, allowing the rest of the library to be quiet and peaceful.

Lovely library in a beautiful building. Very pleasant librarians, lots of desks for private work and comfy areas for reading. Really nice to have such a great library in the heart of Verona!
