    I love this place. It has the feel of a downtown building and it's crazy it's in the Bronx. I come…read morehere to work on my blogs and write. Very convenient place that doesn't feel like youre in the Bronx. I actually prefer this one to the Midtown library on 42nd n 5th ave as that one gets packed with homeless, stinky and crazy people on the computer/laptop floors. Since it's so big security sometimes might take a while before spotting the disturbance. It also doesn't feel as clean. This one, since it's fairly new looks pretty clean and if you have kids they have a children's only floor with computers with games and books for children. The only problem with this Bronx Library as with most NYC public libraries is that you get the occassional homeless guys or guys that talk to themselves on the computer floors, but they do have security on each floor making sure that people keep it quiet and don't disturb others. They also have an auditorium and have events there, which I haven't seen it.

    This is beautiful large library, with floor to ceiling windows that let in a lot of natural light…read more The children's section is very spacious and has a lot of areas for kids to read comfortably. The staff was very helpful! I would recommend to any parents in the area to take advantage of the library and bring their kids to enjoy some reading.

    It's a library…read more Can't say how many hours I suffered as a kid in here doing projects. Then again as a teenager looking for books to do projects. Been coming here since the early 1980's and whether I worked at a desk inside or borrowed a book, they always had what I needed - I have to admit that, even though at the time (as a kid) I despised the library. Came here intermittently now and then to look for a book here and there, but did notice this place did give itself a facelift internally more than once over the years. Looks much better in both the adult and the children section than it did when my young(ER) self inhabited here. Been coming here a lot more recently so my son can take books out for his daily reading assignments from school. They have most of what he has been looking for and despite the area being a children's section, it's decently maintained. The kid's area has computers for them to use and even a play area for the toddlers. It's not as quiet as it used to be when I was told to "shhhhhhh" long ago. Times have changed. They have music and dvds (for both child and parent) you can borrow if you choose to - kind of reminds me of the decade ago and beyond movie rental business. Of course the books for both are plentiful. Staff has been friendly and helpful. They do have plenty of parking, but at certain times - especially after the 5pm hour - they have gatherings or classes here and the parking lot becomes massively full. For the parents who like to blame the library for not having a book that the local school assigned to their child - blame the school since they assigned 1 book title for over 30 kids. That's happened before and I usually just save myself the trouble and buy the book. Last year I heard a parent yelling at someone in there for not having the book - not the library's fault if someone else got there first and checked it out. Overall a great library in the area. Certainly worth your time.

    The library is a great resource for more than just books. They have story time for children, groups…read morefor crocheting, etc. and offer resources for seniors. I take my granddaughter for story time every Tuesday morning. She is 20 months old and she loves it! The staff aims to please. After enrolling my granddaughter for story time, they called me the night before it was due to start to remind us.
