I haven't used the library in years. I needed to print something to ship back an order. I didn't…read morewant to pay any crazy fees at my neighborhood UPS so I stopped in. I forgot the process in terms of any services needed requires a library card to do anything. I found this out when I asked to use the computer. I was told to sign up at the kiosk which I tried to do, but Lo and behold a library card and pin are required to access a computer. I asked a clerk if she could look up my info so that I can access the computer. She said she could offer me a replacement card for $2. If I were in a jam and didn't have a library card at all I would've obliged, but I've explained that I left my library card at home. I mean really who still uses the library, I most certainly don't. I've been out of school for over a decade now. Her response was that unfortunately she couldn't look up my info because she's just a clerk. Ehh you work here don't you? Isn't it your job to verify info if necessary especially when it applies to customer service? I told her that's odd and yeah no thanks. She told me I could ask someone else. I walked away because I was truly baffled. I ended back at the front desk to ask for assistance. A very nice woman gave me a courtesy pass to use the computer. She asked for my Id, found my previous addresses, and updated it to my current one in the system. There's an ample amount of computers for your use. Computer usage is for an hour. There's a Media Center, Children's Room, Book Section, Study Section, Bathroom (a key is required), and a customer service area. They recently had an update over the weekend which makes doing anything requiring the internet extremely slow. If you need to print anything, a page costs .15¢. Your first 20 pages are free.

I've been using this library for years. Although it is very small, they do their best to provide…read moremeaningful and helpful programming for children and adults. The wish would be for additional funding to expand it since the neighborhood is also growing. The staff members are knowledgeable and helpful.

I've always liked this library because obviously it has the most to see, read & do because it's the…read morecentral library of Queens. The people have always been nice when I go there. Recently, I had to go to get my FIFA passport book stamped. If you don't know, the library has joined in on the FIFA fun & they have passports where you go around the 5 boroughs collecting stamps. There's 12 stamps in all & I only have 4 of them so far. I work too much. Anyway, I went to the central library to get 1 stamp they have the cute soccer ball on top of the subway train. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that the kids section had a different stamp. I was able to collect 2 stamps in 1 location and they were so nice about it.

The Queens Central Public Library has a long history with me. I have seen this library develop over…read morethe years. On this special visit, I want to highlight the exceptional service I received from one of the librarians. He took his time to help me search for the book I was interested in, and he also escorted me to the bookshelves to find it. He answered all my inquiries and explained that a fashion show was about to start. I would have been in a rush to leave during this visit, but because the librarian was so helpful, I decided to stay for the evening event. I was able to use the self-checkout kiosk, and it was very easy to follow the instructions on the touchscreen. I observed a spectacular fashion show and had the opportunity to meet some amazing people. I would highly recommend that anyone interested in great activities, lessons, programs and events check out the Queens Central Library calendar.

This library is on the smaller side but it's always quiet, well kept, and clean. Typically there…read moreisn't too many patrons inside, most people seem to come here to read the newspaper or magazines. Kids come after school, there's a good space for teens and priority seats for those that are grade 6-12 by the windows looking out onto Union St. The librarians are nice and helpful. There's surprisingly a good selection of fiction, some that are often out in other branches. Some shelves have Chinese and Korean books, as well as DVDs for movies and TV shows. I love coming here from time to time, nice place to just sit and relax with a good read sometimes.

I've been attending this library since 2011 and for the most part it was non eventful but a week…read moreago, an incident happened with two staff members that I didn't appreciate. I was looking over the books displayed by the counter when the older gentleman that works there abruptly stood up, slammed his umbrella on the counter and exclaimed without looking at me but intended for me, "May I help you!" to the gales of LOUD laughter from an older female staff member. This went on for 15 minutes with him saying, "I understand if you're a teenager but you are older than me and I should be learning wisdom from you" with roars of endless LOUD hysterical, guffawing from the female. How ironic since you don't see how YOUR behavior and that of your colleague mirrors rude teenagers. A characteristic you think you see in others but not YOURSELF. Oh, the irony. If you have a problem with me discuss it with me politely instead of throwing passive aggressive insulting comments and laughing about it. You also blamed me for "causing you to have dark thoughts" (your words). Oh, no. YOU are causing YOURSELF to have dark thoughts. Don't blame that on me. Grow up.
