Does your library have some sweet ass vinyl cuts? Yeah, I didn't think so. Morris County Library is pretty awesome. I mean, they don't have robots or unicorns retrieving material for you, but you know if they had the money they'd seriously look into it. PS - Unicorns are real.

It wasn't until college that I started to take advantage of their extensive music collection. I remember going home during my junior year and heading to the library to work on some jazz homework. I found THE best library collection here. You want it, they got it.  

The librarians are really great. Very patient and super helpful. Since my local library was closed (and you need a local card to check stuff out), they were really awesome and issued me a temporary card so I walk out with all the material I had researched.

As for the book selection, of course it's outstanding. It's everything a county library should be. I know I should be more specific on something, but there's really not much else to say!

I lived here in high school, especially senior year (kind of ironic, I guess), and everyone knew about it. No shame, no shame. I practically camped out at the MoCo Library for two days as I wrote that dreaded AP LA4 paper. My fellow HP grads know what I'm talking about.

Anyway I've come here to do my homework, to study with friends, to write a paper, and to do some intense research. I became friends with one of the librarians. Does this make me a loser? Possibly, but the loser in me thanks those librarians to many an A. I kid you not.

I love coming here. Super easy to get to, exit 1A off of 24, takes me 6 minutes door to door. Sometimes I have books held for me at the Morris County Library just to take the trip, though there are closer libraries.

I love this place.

This is your basic county library.  Bigger than the branch libraries.  Smells like a library.  Clean and not old, but not too new either.  Just very library-ish.  

To me, the best thing about this library, besides the bigger selection, is the chairs for reading.  The chairs seem newer than the rest of the place, and they are upholstered.  But I love them because my feet touch the floor.  Flat.  My legs are short, and I often can only touch the floor with my toes.  Here I can put my feet on the floor in the chair like a normal adult.  And I'm not talking about the kiddy section, this is the adult section.  Of course, if you are a tall person, you might not like this feature.  

The other nice thing is that this library has its very own traffic light.  I think that's swell.  It is a traffic light to turn off of busy Hanover into the parking lot of the library.  It has a sign, like a street sign.  But it's not a street, it's just the library.  I think that's so cool that the library gets its own traffic light.  I'm sure beforehand lots of bookworms waited hours to try to turn left on this busy street into the library, but how often do the powers that be listen to bookworms?  I think it is wonderful.  It also makes it very hard not to go to the library if you're driving by; you can see the library coming up, you know it's there, then the light turns yellow as you approach so you can't speed by...  of course you turn into the library!  Maybe this is better than the chairs.
