Reviews of John D. Rockefeller Jr. Library
"So so many books! Friendly and very helpful staff!!"
"It’s comical how bitter and angry the staff here are at the world. They clearly cling to the power they have over their little forgotten defunct corner of the world. They know they’re almost forgotten and soon they will be. Steer clear, there’s no reason to waste your time here."
"The best history i spend days reading about my great grand parents"
