Valley Cottage Library

"The matronly women in the children’s area of this library are horrible. They treat the patrons with no respect and are on a constant power trip. I would highly avoid having your children interact with them. If they could get new people in the children’s area I think the library would be a much happier and more welcoming place for everyone."

"Let me start by saying that I do like this library a lot, it is very functional, welcoming and has great resources, and most of the employees are very sweet and welcoming people. That, however, is not the case with one of the employees named Ivette. She is usually very unwelcoming, unaccomodating, full of attitude and just has a very disheartening disposition in general -that is towards me. I'll note that, other patrons should be safe from this type of treatment, and will enjoy the library, because I've seen her interact with others and, there, she's much nicer and manifests appropriate employee/patron behavior. Honestly, I try to avoid any sort of interaction with her, but oftentimes that is not possible. Going forward I will be requesting another employee to help me out."

"Great library. One of my favorite in the area. My daughter is a huge fan their kids department is great! They have so many great programs for kids from book reads, to game nights to lego challenges. They have more than books. You can borrow everything from board and video games to cake pans and a projector with screen."

"Tom Chapin wrote his library song about THIS LIBRARY. Truly a gem. Great resources, great staff (even after my wife stopped working there), and they've got a giant fish tank!"
