Harlem Library

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.

Very polite and professional. I got a new library within minutes. You can review book via audio book. Clean, minimal noise. Across the street from Marcus Garvey Park. Just lovely

Ahhhh I am a newbie and the first floor staff was so nice...Very patient and kind
God bless them all.
Printing is only 20 cents...just amazing

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.

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.

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.

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! 👏🏼

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

We love this library. They have a good kids section that’s well organized and easy to access. The librarians are very kind and always ready and eager to help. There are also DVDs available of classic shows like reading rainbow and Sesame Street. There is a small play area if you have younger kids as well. This is one of the highlights of the neighborhood!

I came in with my son to get a library card and they were very kind and helpful. They treated us with respect and courtesy. My son enjoyed the atmosphere, choosing his books and playing on the computers. We highly recommend our NYPL Harlem branch !

I love Harlem Library but I wish the computers were working!!

I returned my borrowed books pick up some good finds didn't stay but the place is very relaxing and comfortable to study I'm going back the sooner I get some more free time.

I enjoy, visiting this library branch, because it's locate, a cross the street from a park.

It is an historical landmark where the great Ossie Davis said he spent much time learning and honing his craft. The staff led by Ms. Donna Murphy are friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful.

Nice And Quiet Time But Kinda Bit A Noise And The Librarian Is Great And They're Take Care Of It.

I was able to renew the library books without any hassles. Most grateful!

Staff is helpful, efficient and kind. It's a wonderful library.

Recently I have moved to Harlem from the Bronx, and this library was clean and the staff was very nice

It’s beautiful library. Staff are nice.
