tripadvisorThe Rochester Public Library is an excellent resource in our community. It is welcoming, accessible and the staff are so helpful. They offer a wide range of interesting programs, they have an art room, teen room and more!
MoreGreat library but a lot of homeless around it making my experiences there not as great don't like getting cussed out just walking out the library. Maybe adding some neighborhood libraries would be a nice addition to rochester.
Morethank you for giving computer users 60 minutes and the opportunity to have more time beyond the hour. I remember the days when you had to be quiet in the library because people are reading, studying, doing research etc. This is not the case at our library. People talk in normal and sometimes really loud voices. You can get in on their conversation whether you want to or not. I want the whispering back, especially on second floor!
MoreThis library has it all a striking building in which it is housed, great artwork, tons of books, a very friendly staff and a very active friends of the library group. If you are visiting the area it is worth a look see, to read, to view artwork or to meet some of the nicest people. You can purchase used donated book for very reasonable prices.
MoreFirst of all, I can not believe I have to pay to park to use a public amenity. Parking is free if you stay less than an hour. But if you have children with you, I would like to see you park, walk to the library. Let the kids look, then you look, check out and walk all the way back to the car and be out the of the parking garage in less than an hour. It is huge but I dont really mean that in a good way. It's too big to leave kids to play and read on their own, it is also full of homeless. It would be nice if Rochester had smaller libraries throughout the community. Geared more towards family's.
