    Great place to do some laptop work with free wifi. There are large clean open tables, adjustable Aeron office chairs, and plenty of plugs. It's best on the 2nd floor. No mandatory coat/bag check.

    The Dance film archives are the BEST! Give yourself a treat and spend 2-3 hours viewing masterpieces! The library staff will 'wow' you with their expertise and suggestions.

    A monument building, utterly vast, but be aware that the Rose Reading Room is currently closed to the public.

    A great place to get work done: Aeron chairs, ample power plugs/wifi, excessive AC in the summer, and friendly people!

    Staff was a bit unfriendly, but that has nothing to do with the amazingness of the library.
