Linden Free Public Library — Attraction in Linden

I have been going to this library for some time now and since the beginning there are some staff with a very miserable attitude. I never paid too much mind to this simply because this is the nearest library to me. I, alone with others, usually library bring a cup to drink throughout the study session. One day, I entered the library and one woman with terrible attitude escorts me out and tells me that I can not have my cup inside. This rule would not bother my, it is understandable. However, there were multiple people with coffee mugs/cups and she only points me out and tells me to leave with a very nasty remarks. I confronted her about others having cups and how my coffee cup was any different, She began to harass others and telling them that I was complaining about them having cups of coffee. Honestly, this encounter see homophonically driven seeing that she singling only me out and there some very nasty marks. A library is suppose to be a place of peace and kindness, yet the worker there was very gross...

Most,( except maybe 3 people i guess) staff are rude to kids and in general and go as far as to call the police on them when they hang outside, food isnt allowed AT ALL, which is so unnecessary, you cant even have water. Anything you have cant even be in SIGHT, you have to eat outside, rain or shine. So when kids hang outside to eat, they might be kicked to curb if a few other are a being rowdy outside. When me and my friends were there this lady kept walking by us, complaining about little things like my friend standing or us moving empty chairs to sit together. I understand not being able to play music but sometimes the attitudes from staff could save trouble entirely. Lastly, theres been past history of staff getting kids banned and threatening kids. This library calls schools and teachers. So if your child is near some who are loud, they should watch out for staff possibly getting them called to the office at school. They have good books though. And a nice...

For my first time going to the library I would say that if it wasn’t for the nice young lady on the first floor I wouldn’t come back at all. The second floor old lady by the computers was completely rude, unwelcoming & just miserable at her job. For that, she should retire and start appreciating life. Everything was an issue for her. Since it’s my first time being at this library I don’t have a library card. She didn’t even offer to get me one so I can use the computer without having to ask her for help to log in. Then she didn’t have change for me to pay for the copies. She told me to bring change next time but said it in the most annoyed tone. She kept rolling her eyes at me too. I had to go back downstairs and ask for change at the front desk. Thankfully that young lady was friendly and helped me out in the most sweetest way. As a true librarian would! The young lady helped me get a library card so next time I won’t have to deal with that rude...
