    Not exactly the gold standard in NYC public libraries, but its a small neighborhood so our needs…read moreare less. The fiction stacks read the same in terms of bookcase size and location as they were since inception, there are obviously new books and older books with new editions. I remember the day this library opened its doors. Prior to the construction it was an empty dirt lot where kids used to ride their BMX dirt bikes. People brought cakes and pies to celebrate the ribbon cutting ceremony, geekish memory but I love books. The Images of America-Forest Hills book is copyrighted in 2013, that's a current book by my standards. Many other popular titles hold the center of the floor, highlighting the top authors books. The PC area continues to be the busiest area outside the childrens section after 3:00pm, so if you need to jump on a machine quickly, head over to FedEx or Staples. Copies and newspapers remain at the front by the windows, my preferred area to narrow down my choices to two books, not seven. Great service at the counter provides minimal line hold ups. The wacky hours are a byproduct of citywide cuts, not the libraries decision. I scored Ann Rands FOUNTAINHEAD today which was held together by lots of thick tape which is fine. I just hope all the pages are where they are supposed to be.

    Pros: easy to request books online, tables to study, easy to print at low cost…read more Cons: no food, can get noisy so brined headphones! All in all a great library. Lucky to live so close to an important part of our neighborhood!

    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.
