The Morristown & Morris Township Library — Attraction in Morristown

This library is beautiful, expansive and filled with so many different resource. It's location is in the heart of Morristown, with many different options to go to for drinks, coffee or food after a good study session. However, there needs to a security guard to kick out really loud, disrespectful people. A previous person noted the homeless people, and yes they do smell but I do not feel necessary that the actions of one should punish the others. The homeless do not bother me or others. I'm talking about people who disrespect others and the library itself. My last experience was horrendous: a mother, her sister in law and a young baby girl were on the second floor where the study rooms are located, creating so much noise that went on for I don't how many minutes. Luckily I had my headphones, but for others it was uncomfortable. Then, after awhile I look up and the mother is changing the baby's diaper on the floor.. Not only is that trashy, but it's disrespectful to the beautiful upgrade of the library, and no one from the staff came to kick them out. Eventually someone came and told them the children's section is on the other side, but they barely moved. Case in point, the library needs security. Every other one in the area has someone, I'm in disbelief this one doesn't have one. After that experience, I haven't been back and I don't recommend...

I love this place. It's practically been a second home to me while I've done extensive research for a few Master's essays I've written. The staff in the local history section is beyond helpful, very friendly, and accommodating. I wouldn't have been able to write my papers without their patient assistance. The building in general is beautiful and in constant upgrade and repair. They're really trying to make this a state of the art facility. And I've read the comments about the homeless and it would be illegal for the library to do anything like throw them out, this is a public place and it's their right to be here. It comes with the territory of being in a somewhat urban center for Morris County. They've never bothered me and I don't intend on bothering them. The one complaint I have is about parking. There are never enough spots in the lot because they're all taken up by local businesses that threaten to tow your vehicle if you park in their spots. Of course, after a certain hour you see library patrons using these spots but I think it would be better if they arranged it so that those spots belonged to the library...

The Morristown Library is a true gem, both inside and out. The building itself is beautiful and inviting. Our family visits weekly to browse the selection and pick up nighttime books for our children. We've also taken advantage of their "Library of Things," borrowing museum passes and outdoor games – a fantastic resource! We're looking forward to utilizing their conference room for future meetings and attending some of the children's story times. It would be wonderful to see more story times offered throughout the month or on weekends to better accommodate working parents. The library's online resources, including their app and Libby, are incredibly user-friendly and provide access to a vast collection of books, audiobooks, and more. Overall: The Morristown Library is a valuable asset to the community, offering a wide range of resources and a welcoming environment...
