Travis WApril 6, 2018One of the most beautiful reading rooms in the country. Be sure and stop here when in NYC. The gift store on the first floor of the library is also neat.
WeatherZombie.comMay 20, 2011A great place to come and read when it's just dreadful outside. The best part is the more you read, the more knowledge you have. The more knowledge you have, the more exquisite your brain tastes!- Tonie WanApril 17, 2018Such a calm place to work. Free WiFi, outlets aplenty and you can sit in a perfectly beautiful quiet room. Take breaks by looking up to admire the architecture and views out the windows.

New York Public LibraryMarch 23, 2011The Rose Main Reading Room is a majestic public space, measuring 78 feet by 297 feet—roughly the length of two city blocks—and weaving together Old World architectural elegance with modern technology.

Malcolm ChangJuly 14, 2017It's a beautiful space, but hard to do any real work there with tourists traipsing in and out all the time.
One of the city's hidden gems. If you need a quiet place to read or work, the reading room on the 3rd floor is THE spot to check.
Simone FiskSeptember 24, 2013Include this in your touring. It's such a beautiful building-inspiring really!
Susanna Lee PaulusMay 13, 2011One of the best places to study/do work/focus in a breathtaking setting. Just look up.
Ear plugs solve the loud chairs issue. Best place to read or study hands down.- New York Public LibraryJuly 5, 2011Manage your Library account on the go! Download our free iPhone app and register at nypl.bibliocommons.com. Read more

"By far the coolest room in the New York Public Library. Awesome place for folks that love all things geography and maps to get their geek on."

"if the main reading room is packed, the Barnes Salomon room usually has space. no outlets though, so fully charged battery is a must."
