Park Ridge Public Library Reviews

There is no library parking but in front of library Train station parking lot limited 3 hours

The public library in park ridge is in my opion a step above the chicago public libraries

Love this library! I've been to many library's and this one its by far the best. Very nice and extremly helpful. They have great kids programs and if they do not have something available they do everything to help you find it from another library. It is also a very clean organized place.

The Park Ridge Public Library made me fall in love with local libraries all over again. Lovely events, wonderful amenities and great book/film selection.

Nice local library. A problem is the limited parking that is 2 or 3 hours and then you have to move your car. Also, the library was under renovation and it took forever to get done, therefore seating was limited.

Disrespectful staff, kicked my 11 year old son out for "harrasment" because he asked a female staff where a book was.

Very nice staff. They are always willing to help you. Also, the library has great digital resources, so you can download books and magazines when traveling in your iPad.

awesome selections and friendly staff. great place to visit with the kids

best library in area, beats mt prospect and Arlington hts and more family orientated. you can tell just by how busy they are

One of my favorite places on Planet Earth! It's refreshing to see that there are still families in this world that are educating themselves and their children vs wasting their time on stupid social media.

The best little library in the world, at the very center of the Park Ridge community in both geographic and cultural terms, with a great selection and comfortable reading space. And whether its book sales, book readings, knitting clubs, voting days, or rotary meetings, there is always something going on here.

Occasionally stop in just to read in peace, however, the layout is terrible. There are no quiet reading areas as it's too wide open, and the most noise comes from the staff, not the patrons. A long haired employeee/man was loudly banging DVD's for hours, first right in front of me, so I moved and could here from 40 yards away. Staff needs to be trained that libraries are still meant to be quiet, and respect that people are there to work/study/read in a QUIET atmosphere.

I love the tables near the windows. They offer a nice view where you can take your mind off for a few minutes while getting some studying done.

Mike the IT Person for this library is a wonderful man. He has worked very hard on a issue we were having with an application. Also, followed up with me multiple times to make sure everything was working properly. I will recommend this library to all friends and family because they have a great and safe infrastructure and very smart people managing it.

The best place to take your children is a very organized very friendly library

This library isn't very good, compared to all the other libraries I've been to. Their Wi-Fi isn't even working and you cant download. I also don't like how they changed the policy on how adults need to pay to go on the computer. This is a LIBRARY not a money making store. The part about the no downloading really gets at me. This library wants to make so much money but they cant even give users the privilege of downloading. I'm very disappointed in this library and I will not be coming back, and I will tell my colleagues of my experience at this library.
