Tivoli Free Library

This is the best library per square foot in America. Staff is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Yes, it’s TINY. It also offers more programs for the community (young, old and in between) than many libraries twenty times its size.

In the site of the Watt’s DePyster Fireman’s Hall in Tivoli, NY, lies this mediocre-​sized library. Although my brothers have been going in there from time to time, my first time into this library was today. Although I wasn’t overly thrilled at seeing the inside, but I know it’s someplace to return to if all my former sources of Internet have been taken up and I’m in desperate need.
The library may look big when viewed from outside, but it’s not when you head inside. From the outside, what you are seeing is actually one of three «departments» inside this 2-​story building.
When you look inside this library, they don’t have many computers, and the computers they did have today, were all full of other people. Overall, the remainder of the library wasn’t overly crowded, but was awaiting a book-​sale presentation about «Mysterious Creatures» in New York State (near Kinderhook, NY more or less).
Anywho, when you look around the library, the walkways are not very wide, and are not suitable for any wheelchair accessibility to get through, and the steps leading into this library prove that there is no other accessibility in. (The back entrance is no better.)
Even then, the large print books are merged sporadically throughout the library, and mixed into the regular books according to call number. They are marked however, so don’t get this review wrong. Personally, if they designated another single section for just these «special» books, they can be better found for those who have trouble seeing.
The weirdest thing was there’s another bookshelf filled with a few more books across the alleyway that seemed to contain about 50 books I bet the EMPLOYEE’S DON’T EVEN REALISE are over there.
Overall, I wouldn’t mind going back there when I need a place just to read, but to actually find a book or empty computer seat to type up documents, you’re best off going to other sources.
