SCLSNJ's Hillsborough Library Branch — Attraction in Hillsborough Township

Had a horrible experience here today with the notary service. The role of the notary is to verify your identity, not to cross examine the contents of your document. I've been getting documents notarized for 15 years or more for professional or personal reasons and have never before been made to feel like a criminal prior to this horrible experience.

Before children had a designated section where they could play and make noise where it would not bother everyone else but not anymore.

Will not be coming...

The library has a bunch of kids activities, which was great! However, it was pretty warm (I understand it IS super hot out, but something to consider if you're heat sensitive), and there is no wall between the kids and adults sections so I felt bad letting my kids play freely. It also could just have been timing, but there was no children's librarian and the poor adult librarian seemed a little flustered when we and another family were asking questions about the summer...
