Jorge A. • January 3, 2014I love this Library it's so peaceful! This is the best Library of New York City!
Michelle C. • February 11, 2017There's a sign that says there is no wifi for the foreseeable future. It's a small library with unisex public bathrooms. The area upstairs has some cosy chairs.
Brea B. • July 18, 2011Ask the librarians at the computer desks for help not the library assistants who shelf books.
Audrey M. • March 1, 2010Quiet with plenty of tables, as long as you go before 3 pm. After school lets out, it's a madhouse!
Carmen N. • January 4, 2015This poor library! I'm super happy it is here, but the rumble of the train every few minutes is disruptive. Good kids section, but few books for adults (in comparison to other libraries).
Rasheda E. • February 16, 2016I luv that this library was crowded with people especially kids. Best library in BKLYN
Alexander B. • June 8, 2017Good spaces for laptop work. Get a library card and make use of their phone app!
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! 🤫
Justin • March 9, 2019Contrary to the tip provided here, this library is open 10 til 5pm on Saturdays
Audrey M. • January 27, 2011This library has meeting rooms available, is usually pretty quiet and unpopulated, but the front door SLAMS every time someone comes in.
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.
Jeff • August 9, 2017The library is a book store where you don't have to pay for anything and you can sit around for as long as you want. Two thumbs up would try again.
New York R. • November 9, 2010Not the best library in NY..
