Giulia • January 27, 2018Amazing archive for all the design lovers. Take an appointment and enjoy 2 hours of full immersion in an incredible collection of sketches, magazines, packaging and books by your favourite designers.
Adrianna G. • March 1, 2012Love the self-check out and outdoor book drop. Really nice inside since it's fairly new. There's a decent amount of seating and books to browse. A couple of guys who work the desk are friendly
Patrick B. • January 19, 2016Awesome library, used to be an old courthouse & they've kept the aesthetic restored
Kat • April 25, 2022Great neighborhood branch of the library. Open every day but Sunday. You can also reserve books for pick-up online and check out ebooks with an NYPL card.
Caroline F. • June 28, 2012Great people, great programs, great services
🍚 • March 1, 2015Beautiful library. Could spend hours exploring the building itself. Definitely worth going to as. New Yorker too. Not just a tourist attraction
Taiowa W. • January 10, 2017A large selection of books are available and can be ordered if not in stock.
Jonathan W. • May 6, 2010Check out the beautiful outdoor rear patio!
WillieScrapes • December 1, 2011Great area for use of computers either the Library's or your own.
Brian H. • April 1, 2012We are lucky in Battery Park City to have this gleaming example of how relevant, pleasant, and user-friendly a neighborhood branch library can be. Not to mention the green building, which is great.
Lynn F. • July 22, 2011My first and favorite public library branch. It's small but they are always updating their stock and I never leave without am excellent book in my hand
Kyle Cameron S. • June 6, 2011Stop in sometime to check out the Chinese collection on the bottom floor
John P. • September 20, 2014One of the best libraries in the system for quiet study. Lots of work carrels with power outlets for phones and computers.
David C. • October 7, 2019Newly opened (Sep 2019) library looks more impressive from inside. Modern architectural decisions and design elements makes it as an attractive place for visitors.
Nate S. • March 25, 2023Beautiful remodel as of 2023! Books, DVDs, tax/gov’t forms, and large co-working space. Just remember that this is a library, so no Zoom calls! 🤫
New York R. • November 9, 2010Not the best library in NY..
Natalie R. • May 30, 2017A must-see for modern library lovers. The children's section is a delight, as are the staff. Beautiful branch library! Wish I could visit every day. Not to be missed for library lovers. <3
Narisara V. • March 15, 2011Cute library but no weekend hours due to cutbacks. Go online and have library media sent here.

Aaron B. • January 11, 2011Don't try to come here with a large group. There's very little seating, and it's a pretty cozy place.

Amy Z. • March 31, 2014Lights in the private study room are HORRIBLY placed - either you turn the table light off and read in the dark OR read with a constant glare on your book. Someone needs to fix this... now.
Justin • March 9, 2019Contrary to the tip provided here, this library is open 10 til 5pm on Saturdays
Gary H. • November 21, 2015Strand feels more like a library than a bookstore. There are so many books here. And if you're looking for souvenirs, I would recommend the book tote bags. Tons of cool designs as well.
