Reviews
"Ahhhh I am a newbie and the first floor staff was so nice...Very patient and kind God bless them all. Printing is only 20 cents...just amazing"
"Very polite and professional. I got a new library within minutes. You can review book via audio book. Clean, minimal noise. Across the street from Marcus Garvey Park. Just lovely"
"My kids love it! Plenty of books and space to sit and read. We are so excited because there is a 3D printer that my kids can use. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My child even got a price for her first time checking out a book. There are also clean bathrooms to use. There is also a rug space with books for little ones."
"Awesome library. They have a children's area that my youngest kids and my granddaughter enjoy. There is a box of free books for kids to participate in summer reading. It's directly across the street from Marcus Garvey pool."
"I use it mostly upstairs for kids books and to pick up holds. At the second floor are very knowledgeable of their collection and have a very strong work ethic reflected in all the things they do to create the most welcoming and cozy experience for the kids. Some parents are not conscious of the library culture and are on the phone or holding some loud conversations. Downstairs they are also helpful and kind. There was a collection of movies, and some computers to use. In summer is kind of busy (AC). I hope after the renovation it keeps the librarians they had."
