Reviews
"There needs to be some policy about kids yelling and screaming nonstop. Not expecting a quiet place for myself as it is a public space but that should also mean that caregivers need to mind their kids so other people can also can enjoy the space/use for their needs. I was in a meeting room for 2 ish hours and it felt like being in the middle of a jungle gym."
"If you have children and you need to go t a library, this is the best: it's inside the Children Brooklyn Museum! And their children section has a glass window overlooking the Science Area of the museum. And in this library, you can borrow laptops, or reserve a study/meeting room."
"It's a small library which is where I love it. It's new, neat, quiet, the librarians are so nice. I usually pick up my holds from there, but I've been able to browse their selection before and even though it's a small library, they have a nice selection. It is also very conveniently located near the Brooklyn children's museum so after a trip to the museum we took a trip to the library where the kids got to take home two books. Added an extra special thing to our trip."
"My daughter loves this library she goes here all the time. Every time we go here It is always VERY clean and VERY quiet. We love the space they have for returning books. If you want a quiet place to read/ do work definitely come here!"
