The team here is patient, knowledgeable and helpful.
Dont even Think about bringing Anything with wheels on it, but it has a nice place to sit with your kids.
This is a perfect spot for a good reading , the staff members are so helpful and the security is a friendly girl ...
It felt cozy and actually quiet. Everyone well behaved
This guy is nice but seems very nervous.
Its just a small library in the city.
Nice

2016-12-27After going to some other public libraries in the area, this one is lacking in stuff but also, pleasantly, lacking in people and strong odors. Id come back when I need a place to sit for a bit and work or read. There are nice couches that are comfortable and not too beat up. Its nice and quiet. There are only a few seats with table space, but again, the not crowdedness seems to mean that even the few seats are enough. Theres a public computer lab and free wifi. The bathrooms are relatively clean.

2015-10-28A very quiet, but friendly library. A good place for doing some work too. There is a lot of free workplaces around, especially in the first floor.Bring your kid! There is a playing room for kids near the entrance.

2018-11-07This is a very well kept public library. They have a activities for kids and babies through the week and the staff is engaged and nice. My daughter loves the kids area and the storytelling sessions.

2015-07-06Some of the staff are rude and unhelpful. (One older lady was super nice). The attitude , in general, is not what you expect from library employees. Not going there again unless I absolutely have to.

2016-04-08Not that many books or dvds, or other stuff that you would expect to find in a library outside, since its library focus is in braille items.So I normally order in the internet and I pick it up here. I am sorry that they dont have that library feeling. Its also a small space, with not that many tables.

2019-02-25Opens late and closes early - this is a general comment for NYPL. But this one does not even have a book return box for a simple drop off. The security/janitor guy cannot point you to any nearby NYPL who has a return drop-off box. What is the whole point to have one library in a busy location if it cannot serve the community?!

2013-03-01Il has lots of areas to set up shop and study or get some work done. The areas have outlets and internet jacks, so there is no problem with bringing your laptop.
