Ethelbert B. Crawford Public Library - Public library in Monticello - 479 Broadway, USA

Love this place. I don't even need to spend that much time inside because I can use their online catalog to figure out what I want to pick up and put hold requests in for items from other libraries. I get an email when it's ready. So easy. Friendly staff, lovely grounds. I had a recent incident where a public notary was supposed to meet me from an outside business at the library and didn't show up. Staff saw me wandering while I waited and they asked if they could notarize it for me. The company wouldn't allow it to be notarized by anyone but them, but I love that they have that service and tried to help.

A beautiful community library, with free Wi-Fi and computer and printer usage. It also has a nice outdoor space for the warmer days.

As an elementary schoolteacher, I put a high expectation on my local library. As a mother of an elementary school child, I do the same. I am very happy with our local library. The staff is knowledgeable and very happy to help. They have a great selection of both adult and children’s literature. We have attended several events for kids, all of them fun and well run. I have taken out STEM bookbags for my son and he had lots of fun with them, especially the electricity one. I also use the Libby app on my iPad to read all the time as well. It’s a great little place, clean and very inviting. I definitely recommend it for the whole family!

I was trying to print something at this library for medical reasons and I needed assistance and this guy was so rude i was walking to the front desk for help bc i didnt see a worker around and he said “im literally right here to help you “ and he was just standing around staring at me struggle and he got annoyed and said “I literally just said the printer says its up to $5 dollars” just being rude for no apparent reason I was very respectful and even told them its my first time… I wont be coming here again.

We love our local library, great, attentive staff always very nice and helpful. My 8y loves the children room and it’s staff.

Seems like a great Library! I love it that if you need to make a copy you can email/ text it and the help was truly very helpful It was my first time there but I’m definitely going back!! 😊

The library has an excellent selection of books and movies, and has some video games as well. The staff and librarians are very helpful and nice. They have areas for children, teens, and adults to sit, both inside and outside. The library is truly devoted to books and knowledge. A great place. EBC is officially my favorite library. I highly recommend it.

This is a good library for what it is worth but for young kid programs I would not recommend going if you have hyper active kids. The staff are good don't get me wrong but they are not used to handing hyper kids and don't know how to handle them. The children's staff need to be better equipped with how to treat children and their parents that have problems with their kids.
