New York Public Library - Epiphany Library

I had a few hours to kill and a murder mystery to finish (see what I did there?). I'd already had…read moretoo much coffee and I've been a fan of reading in libraries since I was in school. So, I had an epiphany and decided to head over to this NYPL branch for the first time. There are three floors. The ground floor is for the general public, the second floor is for kids, and the top has offices and a classroom style room. I stayed on the ground floor, where there are tables, desks, and cozy chairs for people to read, work on their laptop, use a computer workstation, and so on. Off to the side there's an area designated for young adults after 3pm. I would say that it was quite quiet. Sure, there are some people who hang out and socialize or a tutor who likes the sound of his own voice too much, but you can mostly tune them out or wear earplugs. They had photocopies of the NYT crossword puzzle; I enjoyed that distraction from my book. Other than that, there are books, movies, special orders through interlibrary loan, and a clean bathroom. Libraries are a great public resource and I'm happy to use and support them.

Came in to do some studying between lunch and dinner plans. It was not too busy during a weekday…read moreduring the work day. It was fine to study for an hour but if your laptop is dying, outlets seem hard to come by. Additionally, for a hot summer day, while not sweltering inside, it was still pretty warm.
