Middletown Township Public Library — Attraction in Middletown Township

My kids and I come here often usually my three youngest sometimes my oldest daughter joins us along with two other women every time we try and go in the craft room they tell us that they're going to shut the door take some of the arts and crafts out into the other area and let us have the room and at first I thought they were being really nice until one of the librarians came up to me and told me that I had to reserve the room that I have not even asked for the door to be closed on because I have no regard for people that want to do crafts mind you I have never once asked to the door to be closed they have done it all on their own and if I had no regard for people that wanted to do crafts I would reserve the room and make it so nobody can use it during that time instead of just using it like everybody else does. recently my daughter had checked out a couple of movies misplaced one we had to build up of fines with the kids in this placing things and not getting them in on time they did the right away you're fines. Right before August started they had told me my daughter's fine was at $9 for the movie she had checked out five from the last time it was late and it was 4 days late at this time and they can only charge you $5 unless it was renewed and then they could charge another $5 if it was late again. We listen to the woman and didn't renew it I left the other dollar go on for the next day so the fine was maxed out and then brought in the read away your fines for my daughter which was 2 hours worth and that takes away $10 and fines. Yesterday we went there and we were told she still had $5 in fines on the movie and also another $5 in fines for other books that had already been taken off and weren't there when I had spoke to them previously now all of a sudden these fines are suddenly there and only $5 has been taken off from the $10 fine that she had it is absolutely ridiculous that they are bullying a 11-year-old girl who was in tears because she couldn't...

I came here looking for a quiet place to study. The main problem is that in their "quiet" area they have a reference help desk where there are workers answering questions and telephones. They also have an electric pencil sharpener which cuts through the air like nails on a chalk board in the "quiet" area. Along with the clear disregard for "quiet" their are people who remain ignorant of the meaning quiet in a library. I know this isnt something that the library can control but there will be people talking loudly and not one librarian tells them to hush, they themselves are even guilty of speaking loudly. Along with this from my experience the day i went they decided to take all the books off a few shelves and clean the shelves while slamming clanking etc. They started the vacuum an hour before closing and i just found it rude that they couldn't wait till closing. Where are the quiet libraries these days because workers and people going to them just don't...

I love this place, you can rent movies DVDs books audio books magazines video games and the most common Library stuff. But you can also get Museum passes use the internet $0.50 per page when printing stuff out. There's an entire section of the building dedicated to children, there's also a section in the front that is dedicated to all kinds of things lectures kids theater kids playtime adult jazz music I mean the list goes on and on. This is a wonderful place and I highly recommend people visiting it. I myself was able to go to the Enterprise aircraft carrier museum which included the space shuttle and the USS Growler submarine, also got to go to the Yogi Berra Museum, also went to the Monmouth Museum, and as soon as it gets a little warmer we are also going to go to the USS New Jersey museum. I think the Museum passes are my favorite part about...
