Harlem Library

Good place to find good books and videos. Good environment.

A small library but it's clean and has a relaxed atmosphere. The restroom was also clean. They also have computers and a printer for people to use.

Excellent location (next to the park) and a well-organized library. However, the library should prioritize treating all visitors with respect and fairness, regardless of their gender or any other characteristics. I've faced discrimination during multiple visits from a single female staff member. The manager and other male staff members are nice, but I can't comprehend why I endure such unfriendly treatment repeatedly. If the staff member is unhappy in her role, she should consider finding a more suitable place to work, where she can be happy and provide better service. Instead, I recommend visiting the Harry Belafonte 115th Street Library, where the staff is friendlier and more helpful.

My kids love it! Plenty of books and space to sit and read. We are so excited because there is a 3D printer that my kids can use. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My child even got a price for her first time checking out a book. There are also clean bathrooms to use. There is also a rug space with books for little ones.

Awesome library. They have a children's area that my youngest kids and my granddaughter enjoy. There is a box of free books for kids to participate in summer reading. It's directly across the street from Marcus Garvey pool.

I use it mostly upstairs for kids books and to pick up holds. At the second floor are very knowledgeable of their collection and have a very strong work ethic reflected in all the things they do to create the most welcoming and cozy experience for the kids. Some parents are not conscious of the library culture and are on the phone or holding some loud conversations. Downstairs they are also helpful and kind. There was a collection of movies, and some computers to use. In summer is kind of busy (AC).
I hope after the renovation it keeps the librarians they had.

The staff in this location is always friendly and inviting. The library is very clean and well kept. I love the young gentleman on the second floor. He is always super kind to the kids/youth and offers lots of information regarding events in the community and book suggestions. Great job everyone! 👏🏼
