There used to be a charge, but not any more. The library itself has numerous quite spots in which you can sit in a comfortable chair with a nice view and quiet.

In order to get a library card, you have to be a resident of the specific town or city where the library is located. So in this case, you have to live in Eastchester to get a card here. However, once you have a library card for a Westchester library, you can use it in any library in the county.

I had enough time to grab my book quickly and check out, get out of their way. Instead, it became a problem to the women that check out the books and the lady next to her, I believe she receives the returns (lady with curly puffy hair ). This is ridiculous. I suggest you guys update your hours so this isn't a future problem or get workers who actually stay their whole hour shift.

This NYPL branch gets 5 stars for the building and its resources, and 2 for customer service/ease…read moreof use. I believe it's the Bronx's biggest branch--its 5 stories include a children and teen floor, space for concerts, film screenings and other events, a huge circulating collection, outdoor reading terrace, and many tables and chairs at which to read or study. The books are neatly kept and there are many more sections to peruse than at other branches. This is also one of the few locations in the Bronx at which you can apply for an ID NYC card. That being said, the flow of helping patrons is abysmal. I had an appointment to apply for my ID NYC card this morning that I arrived on time for. The office is on the 5th floor. When I reached it, I was ordered by a cantankerous security guard to stand in a specific spot. When I wasn't at the precise spot where she wanted me, she made a rude gesture to indicate that to me. Other applicants were complaining in Spanish behind her back about what a high and mighty b-word she was, so I guess it wasn't personal at least. I was eventually given a pager and was told I could wait on any other floor until I was called. After an hour of waiting (with an appointment!) and no page, I went back up to ask how much longer it would be. An apologetic worker told me to wait behind the first woman in line and said I would be seen shortly. Of course the security guard had a problem with me standing where I was told and put me in the back of the line despite my explanation of what the other worker had told me to do. Five minutes later, the other worker comes out and tells me I'm standing at the back and I should be in front. Can y'all make up your minds?!?! Once I was seen the process took all of five minutes. Ugh. Afterward, I decided to check out a book that I'd picked up while waiting. There were two librarians at the circulation desk and about five patrons ahead of me in line, so I figured it shouldn't take more than maybe two minutes. I have no idea why it took ten minutes; I felt like I was at the post office. All this to say, please demand to your city and state legislators not to cut library funds!! They are an amazing resource when they can operate on more than a shoestring budget. There's little point in having a beautiful shiny new building if it's not able to help patrons because it's understaffed. You can't just give a community this space if you aren't going to train its staff to actually help people.

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.
