Always good service here. I use the intra-library service (getting books from other Free Library branches delivered to my branch) a lot, and I also use interlibrary loan (getting materials from other libraries). I wish they had a bigger space, but I'll bet they wish that, too.

This library is most of the times closed. It spends more time closed than open. The staff stays sometimes stays there to receive books and for pick ups but don’t actually open the library for the public. Is a shame because it is like the only library in rittenhouse

Stopped in to get some studying done while waiting for a friend to finish work. Very clean, quiet, and most importantly the staff was so friendly!

way too loud for being a library. A library is a place that's supposed to be quiet, not a place to come and chat as if is a public cafeteria. There's even people who come and work as if they were in a office holding phone conversations.
