New Carrollton Branch

It’s a decent library. I wish I could give 3.5 stars to this branch, but I can’t, so three it is. They have a pretty good book selection here — it’s not the largest, but generally you’ll be able to find the title you’re looking for. The layout is a bit cramped in my opinion. While there are separate areas for quiet study, its not exactly secluded (you’ll most likely hear the voices of patrons nearby) so if you come here to study, you might have some issues. The quiet room has a lot of people slamming and banging power cords and «yell-​whispering» into their cell phones.
In the general area is where things can potentially get a little ratchet. During the summer months and/​or after school, groups of loud mouthed teenagers who need to be somewhere studying for the SAT barge in and start playing around like its a playground. They don’t cause any physical havoc, but they are loud as heck… and the workers at this branch are so lax about shushing people, and its really annoying.
However, there is Free WiFi and ample space to move around if you want to try and get away from the noise. They are always random characters in here trying to sell something or ask you to be in their music video so that’s a bit of a mess as well.
Also, sometimes I’ll search for a book on the PG Library website and it will list it as available at this branch when it later turns out it isn’t.
P. S. parking here is crappy.
