Reviews
"Poppenhusen Branch, ca. 1910. The Poppenhusen Branch of the Queens Public Library is the only Carnegie-funded library in the city to be designed by the prestigious firm of Heins & La Farge (of original subway station fame). Opened in 1904, the Classical Revival library was constructed on land donated by the citizens of College Point and filled with books donated by the nearby Poppenhusen Institute (who requested the honor of the library's name for their largesse). The only Carnegie-funded library to be designed by the noted firm of Heins & La Farge, this building resembles those contemporaneously designed by the firm for the Bronx Zoo's Astor Court. The firm was also responsible for a number of the city's subway stations and for early designs of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The citizens of College Point donated the land for the library and the books were donated by the Poppenhusen Institute, founded in 1868 by German-American businessman Conrad Poppenhusen as a kindergarten and community center. The stipulation of the institute's gift was that the library would bear its name. The Classical Revival style library is clad in yellow Roman brick with limestone trim, and features a projecting entrance bay with stone banding and a broken pediment above the arched doorway, an ornate cornice with stone shells and two stone cartouches with reliefs of open books. A rear addition was constructed in 1937. The Poppenhusen Branch was designated a New York City Individual Landmark in 2000"
"It is a wonderful place and has gear books but in the children’s place it’s sometimes too loud"
"A great neighborhood library. The children's section is downstairs, and the upstairs are where the computers and adult books are. Although it's a pretty small library, they have ample seating and tables. It's a good place to get work done as it is very quiet. The librarians are helpful and go the extra mile for you! Highly recommend."
"Staffs here are all professional, patient and friendly. The environment is great for both adults and children! Love the nice children that it's wide and full of great books for he kids!"
