If you’re seeking a quiet place to study, this library is not the ideal spot. The staff members are constantly talking and laughing, making it difficult to focus. Additionally, the entrance is right in front of the tables, so you’ll be constantly hearing people coming and going, along with their conversations with the front desk. Two stars just because it is still a library.

Excellent staff, clean seating area and well-organized sections. I come here 3x/month and am proud of what they do with dwindling funding.

It's a convenient location but quite small. There are ~24 seats at shared tables that have outlets, and ~10 public computers with a printer and scanner. There are of course books, but not a lot of space to read. While the seating area is a "Quiet Zone," anyone talking on the otherside of the space can be heard everywhere. It's clean and the seats are fine, but I'll probably go to a different NYPL to get work done.

I have been using it now for 3 months and it saves me so much research. Reduces the need to call and double check every time.

How did I not know these places existed?! Atly's scoring is a lifesaver, now I can finally find THE spot without wasting time Googling my life away.
