Crandall Public Library — Attraction in City of Glens Falls

I will never forget the day I walked into this library for the first time on a cold, January day in 2009 with my 2 year old boy. I had driven about 100 miles from the south in search of a new and better town in which to raise him. I was exhausted and hungry. We had some snacks with us. I had just taken them out of the bag, sitting at the computer, when I noticed the "no food" sign. Oops! A librarian came up to me and I cringed, preparing for a rebuke. "We have story time at 11am!" She said, smiling. Nothing about the sandwich. Just story time. She wanted to make sure we were fully informed, and didn't miss it. I love this place. We moved just a few blocks away, and visited often. We checked out story time. My son read to a dog as he learned to read. I saw people getting help with job applications. I saw beautiful quilts hanging on the walls. I heard great music in the basement, and got connected with Parent2Parent for help with my son's education. Crandall Public Library is a wonderful public resource for so many people. Please always help support this great place to promote equal...

I gave five stars because they have switched their rude desks clerks to another department or fired them. The library itself is beautiful and most of the staff are helpful. Some suggestions I have made such as a private study area have been ignored. They do have several computers to choose from unlike some smaller libraries. However, the computers are located in is very noisy area not like Saratoga where it's upstairs in a quiet area. The library does have several events for adults, teens, and children. The upstairs children's room gets 5 stars with helpful staff and a great reading environment for children...

If I could make it no stars I would, first off! On a Sunday. I take my kids (whom are well mannered and quiet) to the library. Kids section is pretty packed, that's fine, some lady who kicked us out of the teen reading room, (which was empty and barren not a teenager in sight) because she wants to do nothing all day and collect a check doing nothing on her phone.

Book selection is minimal. Use Amazon instead, most books are out, overdue or missing.

Kindle, and Spotify are more efficient.

Crandall public library has lost any all future votes of mine in funding...
