Schenectady County Public Library

We’re updating this review (see original review below) to reflect more regular patronage of this branch, and there are a few things about it that continue to bother me:
(1) creepy staff person looking at your internet screen every time you’ve left a public terminal, including just the library catalog. I am not exaggerating: EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I or one of my kids uses it. It’s intimidating. On a couple of occasions this same staffer has come over and told me I can’t use the library catalog for internet surfing, when I was in fact simply using a linked library resource that another staff member told me was OK. Honestly, it makes it very disconcerting to simply look something up.
(2) continued indifferent children’s program. The person who does the story time just isn’t that good with kids, to be frank about it.
(3) limits of the collection. The smallness of the collection here has stopped a number of school projects or general pleasure-​reading browses.
The building’s new, the desk staff are nice enough, and it works, so we’re grateful enough it’s here but item (1) above is starting to affect our willingness to use this branch.
