A cute little neighborhood library with everything you'd need…read more It may not have a massive selection, but it has all of the options you'd require from a modern library - you have about a dozen computer terminals and multiple (free) printing stations that you can log into, a whole bunch of movies on DVD/Blu Ray to take home, a comics/manga section for kids (and kid-like adults like myself), magazines, and of course plenty of books around. They routinely put up notices for classes and programs for the local community - Chess club, English Conversation groups, Music, mobile device classes, creative writing, you name it. The hours are about what you'd expect from a normal NYC library - open most days until about 6:00 pm, closed on weekends. I come here semi-often and the staff are always friendly and helpful. I'm glad this is here for the local community and that we have this as a go-to option for learning or relaxation.

Omg. This was my childhood library where I got my 1st public library card and would come so often…read moreonce I discovered free books. This library helped me not go crazy as a kid because I was the child of immigrants who struggled financially as well as not knowing navigating the USA. My 3rd grade friend informed me of free libarary because she was an avid reader. I still remember we had a book worm in class and she surpassed everyone with her love of reading. I was in second. I finally walked in today to check out since the library's renovation - haven't been back since high school when my parents moved us out of Elmhurst and it was BEAUTIFUL! I was amazed how modern, bright, airy and just so peaceful with lots of seats as well as plenty of people doing work/reading. Definitely will be back.

I was here earlier doing research on a project. Was reviewing some Children's books up on the third…read morefloor. Took the books into the Children's Meeting area where there were many empty tables and chairs, so I sat down to go through the materials. A class had just finished. Parents had started to leave with their kids. A staff member asked the librarian, who is that person in the blue shirt. She came over and asked me where my kid was. I said I do not have a child with me. She said I can not sit here. I asked her where do I go? She said you have to go to the adult section. I was going to leave the books on the table. Staff goes it's a library take the books with and after you finish leave it on the table. Went down to the second floor it said Teen section- Confused was I not suppose to be there too. Had no teenager with me. There were tables at the media area. Sat there reviewed all the materials. Took books back to third floor and placed books outside of the Children's area. Where is the adult area? First floor? I see computers and people of all ages there. I did not see a sign. This is a very small library. People sitting on benches by elevator. Only three floors on this site. Had been here one time just to get catalog of activities at this library for family member. Tried to take pictures to post with review. Staff said you are not allowed to take pictures. Some of the staff is very abrupt and not the friendliest. Will I be back? Probably not. I am use to going to the libraries in Manhattan for they are bigger and staff are much more welcoming.

Multi floors , plenty of books , computer area that was filled with folks with plenty of time to waste . Nice upgrade compared to the old interior which was old and full and the many shelves are filled with books with categories labeled clearly . My god daughter has fun doing her research and I took my cat nap with one eye opened keeping guard on my cuzs kid . Nice neighborhood library in Astoria that reminds me of the one in the Bronx that was my go to place when I was young and dumb . 4.5 stars on my yelp meter and maybe next time the librarian lady will crack a smile hopefully.

I had a creepy experience as a kid in a library that involved a man doing something behind the stacks. BAD MEMORIES! Back to the regular channel...DVDs....so Rich W. showed me there are DVDs to borrow at the library. WOW. He said...see libraries are friendly places. It felt like therapy when he showed me the library! He told me the other day there are books beyond the DVD rack! I was like...really??!! I seriously just come here for the DVDs and for computer use. I am not familiar with the rest of the library. Other than the bathroom here needs serious cleaning...just sayin'.

Library staff is unhelpful, i.e., the staff goes out of its way to obstruct patrons from getting…read moretheir work done. Several commenters note that issue with printing - the staff raises it voice or states "that's not our policy" among myriad reasons to be unhelpful. The collective atmosphere is extremely toxic. A few patrons asked the chief library Nick Buron to address the issue and he retaliated against the patrons - further green lighting the toxic atmosphere and unhelpful behavior. Crude and vulgar flows from the top down. Queens library and Sunnyside branch is an example of why people lose trust in public institutions. Avoid this branch if you can.
