Jersey City Free Public Library: Marion Branch — Attraction in Jersey City

(This is a totally unsolicited review)

The Marion Place Free City library is not only a place for those interested in reading and research -- it is HOME in more ways than one. If one walks by, you might almost miss it, as it's smaller than those city-block libraries; but do not let it's physical size define its use and potential for enriching the neighborhood -- it is a quiet oasis (they even have a small but lovely garden in the back where one can read or contemplate) in these otherwise urgent times we live in.

They are most helpful in helping find the exact information or books one needs, and get do it with being friendly, yet giving enough space for determining your choices. Charming, without being too familiar, knowledgeable, without being condescending, they always assist my grandchildren and me in making each visit a totally happy and enriching experience, what with the various workshops and child-oriented activities they offer.

This is a wonderful resource for the neighborhood, just wish it was open more than...
