REVIEWS OF Newark Public Library IN New Jersey

Beck at Zone

Schedule said the library closes 5:30 pm Mondays. Came in at 5:23 pm hoping to get a book only to be turned away by the security guard who said all the employees leave at 5:15pm. What kind of place says it closes at 5:30 but the employees all leave at 5:15?! If they all leave at 5:15 put that it closes at 5:15 and don't waste people's time. Either somebody manages this place with incompetence or the employees are slackers and leave before they're supposed to.

The building is absolutely beautiful! The Library Associates are the most kind and informative people! I joke and say that NPL thinks it’s in Manhattans... so progress and so many free and fun activities... I’m an EO resident... np traveling to Newark to just sit in the 1st floor common area to read and love the GLBTQ Center...Great place for the entire family. Both my teenage and I are attending classes and activities.

The library is great for child teens and young adults. Its not just books in here they have games on Wednesday with Mario Smash Bro not only that but they also have special events like a petting zoo, food drive,etc. They give back to the community and I love feeling right at home here. Everyone is extremely nice.

Janet Foster

I don't think it would be a good place for studying or doing a lot of research though because it is crawling with tourists. The science library on Madison would probably be better for that.

I couldn't breathe on that slow elevated. Haven't been clean in months. And the floor haven't be clean with pine. It has no fan, if it stop on you. You would died from the smell. I Can't believe it a nice library. All it take is water and …

under appreciated treasure in downtown Newark. Being hammered by budget and staffing problem trying to fulfill its mission in the community. I would recommend that it joins other libraries around the country are attempting to reinvent themselves with new services and oferings

Loudest library I’ve ever been in. Hard to get work done. People talking on the phone, phones ringing, loud conversations from people and staff. Police officer supposed to be keeping it quiet, is louder than everyone. They don’t regulate the noise level in the 3rd floor computer room. Haven’t been anywhere else in there yet.

Very helpful, I visited looking for a witness, who lived on Essex County in the '70s, to my Uncle's will and the NJ reference librarian immediately helped me to track her down in Florida. Librarians are awesome.
