Albright Memorial Library Building Scranton Public Library

A tried and true People’s Library replete with real books and a warm inviting space. The architecture of the building is, May I say, sublime—-and conveniently located. I love that it’s right in the downtown, so we always figure in a stop for a bite to eat at one of our favorite restaurants. The staff is kind to its patrons. And it always has something happening in the way of events and gatherings. It’s why we travel the 100 miles round trip once a month there. Keep up the great work Albright Memorial!

I love this place. Free parking after 5pm and all day Saturday and Sunday. The staff here is friendly, thoughtful, professional, and just the best. The space is cool. They have books!

Took the granddaughter to a Marvel Trivia night she had a wonderful time and wants to go to other things. The library has a lot of different events not just for small children. The staff was nice and helped me while I was waiting.

Arrived a bit before they were open and walked in. The librarians were very gracious and allowed me to come right in. They were very helpful in setting up the microfilm and giving me info that I needed. Wonderful experience!

The staff is s friendly and helpful. I’m so proud to have such a well stocked library in our city. Really saves money on buying all the books I’d like to read.

This library is by far one of the greatest community services I've seen so far. The staff is very helpful and they're knowledgeable. This library has inviting energy and is modern and has something for everyone here! They have your standard sections of books in an interesting 3 floor section, they rent video games, dvd's, Cd's, audiobooks and more!! They offer classes on tech literacy, kids programs, reading activities, giveaways and more, all to help inspire reading and learning to everyone regardless of age. I'm so excited to go back and spend more time here. A Library is a key community resource and Albright Memorial does it right.

Beautiful, old building... Love going here for books. I could get lost all day wandering the stacks. It's several floors. There's also a great children's library next door. 📚✌

There is a book on non-linear dynamics here that is incredible.

The book selection is of an extremely high quality, particularly a few of the titles on mathematics and probability.

The stained glass is extremely beautiful.

I love the building, courtyard, and area.

(i havent been here in probably like 5 years, so a lot may have changed... but i had a particularly uplifting experience overall and felt it necessary to leave this review.)

Very nice place. Very historic. Very clean and kept up with. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I could spend days there. And it's so peaceful to just longe back and read a book.

Really incredible picturesque library that will impress any patron with it's impeccable attention to detail! The art deco on the exterior even features owls a well known symbol of knowledge which just makes sense. On the interior you will find a courteous and professional staff, a well thought out multitude of engaging activities, reference computers, and a few specially placed exhibits to attract attention and enrich one's state-of-being! In my own perspective, I was really in shock of the profound craftsmanship of the library and the generosity of John J. Albright himself. It's really a remarkable building and dates back to 1891 (the start of construction) realistically making this particular library 130 years old this year.

I've always had a good experience with the Albright Library. The librarians that work there are wonderful people. They have always helped me in any way that they could. I'm so very happy that they reopened this branch. I visit this branch on a weekly basis.

Great selection of books and movies beautiful architecture worth the trip

Lovely building, very helpful and hospitable staff, useful technologies, welcoming to people from outside of the county. Street-side parking available. Highly recommended!

Great libraryl always has been since l was a kid in the Seventies!

The research librarians are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable especially in local genealogical records. And, the collection of local newspapers, periodicals, and other information can't be beat.

Kindest, most helpful staff ever!

The adult Library is good they also have a child's Library which is also good they have summer sessions for children that cannot be compared to anything they're open all year long

The support staff there is great. Today they helped me find a very particular periodical from way back. Much appreciated!

Always good selection of books, you can browse leisurely, all the activities surround the movie section these days.

I attended a movie. The library is a beautiful building friendly and helpful staff.
