Queens Public Library at South Jamaica

"Been going to this library since I was 11 years old. That's like 20 years ago."

"It took me some years to return to this location, which is located around the corner from my house due to the many times i attempted to come here, and it was like a playground. My explanation for the 1 star is as follows. As I enter the library, there's an entire group which included staff having all types if personal conversations in the corner which was rather loud, after this gathering was done there's was still music happening in the office along with excessive chattering, a phone conversation happening on speaker phone. All the while, the employee at the counter having a full-blown karaoke session while in between her phone keeps ringing aloud. Her conversation was just as loud. Once the conversation was done, it was back to the karaoke session. I tried multiple times to read for my h.w assignment, and it was almost impossible with all of the distractions happening. I could have stayed home with my three. Children and gotten way further than I did in the time I was in this place. This is a library for crying out loud."

"I came the other day to use the computer it was a struggle to print! I ask the receptionist for help and she barely got up to help me all she said go press print left hand side as if I wasn't doing that already, but there was something else that pop lady gave Me a look with an attitude sheesh I just left it alone and kept doing my job I ended up printing 2 of each which is a waste because they only allowed to print 20 pages mind she's the only loud one talking to her colleagues it is a library !! I won't be coming here. The other lady was nice it's just that particular lady that was rude."

"The staff is super friendly and helpful. I bring my son there for his reading sessions. The staff made us and other library patrons aware of the different activities and resources available. I see the change."

"Very nice and quiet atmosphere. Good staff and program's for the kids .access to computers ,for a certain amount of time. They also have a copy machine and a librarian. also very convenient to the buses. Or just a nice slow walk there."
