Greenwich Library

New to town and have been visiting the library regularly. Beautiful clean space that’s been amazing for children as well Love the international sections. My only small complaint would be the friendliness of the staff. Maybe because I’m from a small town in PA but there was a lot of attitude from the older ladies behind the desk. Why take on a service job if you don’t even giving service?

Greenwich library currently has only 2 group session rooms. These rooms are pretty much available 98% of the day. Guidelines state that the rooms may only be reserved for 3 hours/per day per Individual. Guidelines don't impose this limitation to the group. Furthermore, fellow librarians provide conflicting messaging - one notes that an exception can be made to extend 1x for an additional 3 hours if no one is using whereas another reinforced the guideline that is specific to the individual rather than the group. Therefore, my team reserved a room in 3 hour increments - 3 of us and therefore 3 separate reservations. We were told to cancel our reservations and therefore both rooms remained empty for the remainder of the day. Schedule screenshots prove how reservation of these rooms does not occur yet the librarians ensured that we could not make use of them either. VERY CONDUCIVE TO LEARNING AND TEAMING (sarcasm) which you would assume a library would encourage. Appalled at the lack of care or sympathy during these times. In a normal time, we would not need to meet in a library to collaborate for work. Lives up to the librarian stereotype in movies.

First class cutting edge facility, the most impressive small town library I ever seen out of many countries. They even have a bloomberg terminal, 3D printers and more. Small items to work though: 1) No bicycle rack 2) On the cafeteria you'll be asked to wear your mask even if they see you eating or drinking (oxymoron). The security guy not friendly, will kind of harass you.

Love this library. I'm excited to see what the renovations bring. That said, I do agree with one of the other reviews -- I understand security is needed, but something about the security here feels... odd and unfriendly. For a community building, I'd like to see this improve. That aside, the library is a five star place. Update: changed from 4 star to 5 star because this library is truly a great place.

This is the best Library I have visited so far and have established my office in. Everything you would require when in a Library is included here. It's urge and the music and movies department is the richest one. Parking is also free. It's quiet and the employees are so professional and so well organized...
