"I would like to suggest a few improvements to enhance our library's efficiency: • Flexible Seating Policy need for Teen zone: The strict separation of the Teens sections often leaves valuable space vacant. I recommend allowing general patrons to use these areas when they are empty regardless of the school time. , ensuring the space is fully utilized throughout the day. Remember your 2sections allowance for teen zoom policy makes adults not to come to the library. If this is your strategy, well done. • Power Outlet Access: Please consider installing power outlets near the newly added desks in the main seating section. Without charging capabilities, these seats are less functional for students and professionals. Just adding tables and chairs are behind of the trend. You need to visit Fort Lee library. When they added new tables, they added all power outlets on every new table they added. • Restroom Privacy: The open toilet in the female restroom requires a partition wall. This simple fix would allow two people to use the facility simultaneously while maintaining privacy. Thank you for your dedication to our community. I look forward to hearing from you. *hours: Fort lee library opens at 9:30 and close at 9pm M-F and 10-5 on Sat and 9:30-2 on Sun. But this library opens at 9:30-close at 8. 104 on Sat and no open on Sunday. I don’t understand why this library have such a limited hours of opening hours."

"Nice and neat place BUT.... it gets too noisy time to time. High school students teach each other with loud voice, not minding how others could be bothered. They even don't bother themselves to take seats far enough from studying people. And sometimes kids are running inside the library and shouting like they are in kindergarten. However, the library "manager" doesn't want to tell or do anything particularly about the students, even after asking. Unacceptable at all."
