Morristown & Morris Twp Library

This library is cross the street from MPAC theater and between two old churches. It looks like part of the old fashion mason from outside. It is very quiet inside and the ladies at the desk were very friendly and helpful. It does not require SSN for library card here, which is different in Ohio.
The library has book sale Saturday 11 – 2. It also has moving playing once very week or two for newly released blue rays. The books are mostly entertaining and it is not easy to find something for professional use.

This library offers broad fiction and nonfiction collections, a huge sunlit children’s section, movies on DVD, music on CD and a big reference room. It’s housed in a gorgeous old stone building with a large, bright new addition.
I strongly prefer a book with real paper pages over a device. My bookshelves were full years ago so I finally decided to borrow and return instead of stuffing my place further. This means I’m in the Morristown library almost every week, usually for books but occasionally for movies and music.
This library’s a member of the Morris County library network so it’s easy to borrow from any library’s holdings, which means you can get quite a lot. Not everything under the sun, but a large variety for sure.
Yes there’s free wi-​fi and free power. If you don’t have a laptop, they also have networked computers which are also free. You must have a library card to use the computers, which you can get at no cost by showing ID that proves you are a local resident.
The library offers meeting rooms for community organizations, not sure of the cost.
Homeless people definitely can be seen here. They’ve never bothered me, for what that’s worth. I wonder if modern library school teaches how to handle this challenge, it must be difficult.
@Benjamin M — the library reopened early 2012 after repairs from the 2010 explosion were finally complete, and the scaffolding that’s up in Jan 2013 is for new stone rehab work.
Unilocal page needs to mention that Summer hours are abbreviated — short hours on Saturday and closed on Sundays.

I’m afraid to return here since this place (despite having a wide selection of books) blew up twice from a gas leak.
How lucky no one was inside either time… the first time was in the children’s room where the story hours took place.
As far as homeless congregating? Not sure about that but sometimes the mentally unstable seem to find this a favorite place to hang out. And some of the reviewers who mention this need to check their spelling… they sound illiterate indeed! I.e., fowl is a chicken. you need to use the word foul, as in «unsavory». Hmm…
I prefer the County library because at Morristown Library 1) parking is a problem (only one small lot) and 2) the place has a history of blowing up and being closed for months afterwards …

One of the most beautiful small town libraries you will ever see, but WHY WHY WHY is the staff allowing homeless people to squat in the library this winter? I know its cold out, but this is not a shelter. Is it? I didn’t want to stay in the library for more than 10 minutes today because every corner I turned, I saw a group of bums huddled together, chit chatting or just staring at the walls. Not reading books, not using the internet, just sitting around… this is unacceptable.

Quiet, clean, with a friendly staff. It’s a great place to study and a great place to just sit down and read. However, almost half of the building is still inaccessible due to an explosion a year back… I’d really like to see how it looks inside.
Oh they also have free wifi and plenty of outlets to plug your laptop in, making it a wonderful place to mooch off of for internet
