Teaneck Public Library

I started visiting this library for myself years ago, I wasn’t always the most resourceful in what I was looking for. But they had computers that you could use in the Resource Room for about 30 mins, maybe longer if there was no one else waiting.
Present day, it’s seems to have expanded its selections, slightly. There are still some books that I can’t find and have to hold at surrounding libraries, but what I do like about this library are the activities for children (toddlers and adolescents).
On Saturday’s they have Craft Storytime for tots (Ages 3 and up), my kids love it, they are literally asking me to go to the library. How can a parent rank TPL any less than 3 stars, when your children are wanting to go to the library? They must be doing something right.

I grew up in the children’s section and moved on to reference (school) and the cd section downstairs (fun.) I have a fond place in my heart for this library and often visit when in the area. The employees are ht or miss, but if you find one who is ornery don’t be put off — the selection of books, DVDs, and music is too good to let a sour puss put you off.

I don’t live in Teaneck yet I use this library often due to the availability of certain books that my teens need for assignments or summer reading. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable. The reference desk is always ready to find a book and put it on hold for you. The front desk staff have even renewed my library card and my kids’ as well. I have never encountered a problem the many times I have used this library, it’s better than my local library.

I use their webpage to order the books I want so they’re always waiting for me when I come in.
The library is about two floors and a good size.
The staff is always so nice and friendly. I’ve stopped to talk with them sometimes.
Definitely will keep coming back here!

Miserable employees at this library. I would say maybe 2 staff members are friendly and helpful. Otherwise, be prepared to meet the Gruesomes.
I’ve visited libraries all over Bergen County and I never thought that the Teaneck library would house a bunch of miserable workers. If you want a good experience visit Englewood, Hackensack or better yet Hasbrouck Heights.

Many fond memories of playing «number munchers» computer games here as a kid. They have a great children’s library as well.

The Teaneck Public Library is one of my favorite haunts in the neighborhood. There are some areas that are lovely to sit around and soak in the natural light while reading. Usually well stocked and have quick access for holds from other branches.

When i first moved to NJ I spent many an hour browsing the shelves.
