East Fishkill Community Library

One of my close friend Recommend me to come in here and after come in here I am very much disappointed about their service. Collection of Books are not huge and Not be back in here.

Thank you for the update on your policy. Last Saturday I stopped by the library to just see how thing were, the tables were sparsely used and there were 2 older men playing Chess. Is there a reason you can not open up the conference room in the front lobby area on Saturday, it’s never seams to be occupied when I visit the library.

I am amazed how a public building funded by the public with a budget of $ 700,000 a year give or take, can not make accommodations for students in need of a safe place to learn

Rating based mostly on WiFi attributes: recently they revamped the WiFI area so there’s now plenty of places to plug in your laptop. However, wireless speeds are very slow and the library is quite noisy. Better off buying a $ 2 cup of coffee and going to the Fishkill Starbucks.
Edit: Bumped from three to four stars. WiFi speed seems to have improved somewhat (or maybe I’m more inured to the slowness), and I’m kind of used to the noise by now (plus, if BYO headphones and music are good enough for Starbucks, why not here?) [it should be noted that there are some loud day-​trader-​type assholes at times treating it like their own personal office]
Heh, plus they have a Keurig machine where you can buy a cup of coffee/​tea/​cocoa, a nice touch.

The EF library is nice in that they have the newest paperbacks and hardcovers available, programs for adults & teens, storytime for the kids, and tables for tutoring. However, due to all of the above, its also the loudest library i’ve ever been to. Trying to sit and read or study is very difficult as the patrons AND the librarians speak at normal tones, often while on the phone or cellphones.
The librarians are helpful and the size of the library is cute but the set-​up leaves much to be desired as its impossible to find a quiet corner.
I’m giving it 3 stars because of all the activities and programs that are available which make it a great community center; otherwise I’d give it 2 stars for its loud, un-​library-​like atmosphere.
