About the Business
Welcome to the New Amsterdam Library, your vibrant community hub located at 9 Murray Street, Manhattan, New York. Since its establishment in 1989, our library has been a cornerstone of knowledge and community engagement, conveniently situated just a block west of City Hall. Though compact, our library is bustling with activity and offers a welcoming space for all.
Discover all that we have to offer! Our library provides a wide range of resources and services, including books, Wi-Fi, computers, and a variety of classes and programs designed to stimulate and entertain patrons of all ages. Whether you're interested in attending a film screening, participating in an oral history project, or simply enjoying a good book, the New Amsterdam Library is here for you.
Join us for special events like the Fair Housing Film Screening: 'Segregated by Design' on Tuesday, August 27, from 2–3:30 PM. This powerful film, presented in collaboration with NYC Housing Preservation & Development (HPD), delves into the historical policies that have segregated metropolitan areas and the ongoing impact of these policies.
We are also proud to present "Understanding the Migratory Crisis: An Oral History of New Migrants in Lower Manhattan," a project that captures the experiences and expectations of recent immigrants to New York City.
Explore our wide array of free resources, including e-books, e-audiobooks, bestselling magazines, and streaming music, all accessible with your library card. Don't miss out on our personalized book-selection service, Shelf Help, where our librarians curate a list of five books tailored to your interests.
Our library is fully wheelchair accessible and welcomes individuals of all ages to engage through online classes, book clubs, and more. While we strive to accommodate everyone, please note that e-bikes, e-scooters, and electronic transportation devices are not permitted inside any NYPL location, with the exception of mobility aids.
During challenging times, the New Amsterdam Library is committed to supporting our community with the resources and programs needed to thrive. Book an in-person or virtual class visit or group tour today, and let us be your gateway to a world of knowledge and discovery.
Visit us and become a part of our lively library community!
Reviews
"Disgusting security guard screaming they close in 7 min even thought it was 6:38.. also front desk claimed she couldn’t help log into the computer to print something out quick because they’re “about to close”"
"Really helpful staff and very clean and calming environment."
"It’s a good study space, except seating is limited and the bathrooms are horribly cared for and smells terrible. You need to get a key to access the restrooms, there is also barely any toilet paper. Not great, though a great location."
"I don't understand why some staff in libraries are too loud! Don't go here if you are trying to focus and you need a quiet place to work or to study!"
"Pros - There’s a computer space with 6 plugs - Beautiful artworks make it feel like a gallery - Clean and bright - Quite (at least the time when I visit) Cons - The chairs at computer area are too tall compared to its table. It’ll be much better to change those chairs. - Just 1 floor. Relatively few seats with plugs available - Not sure if it’s just for this branch, but I was told I wasn’t allowed to stay in children’s place without a child when I was trying to use a plug there"
