Brooklyn Public Library - Arlington Branch — Attraction in New York

Lovely library. As a Manhattanite I ventured here to collect a limited edition library. I enjoyed the history of the building and learnt a lot in the hour and a half I spent there. There’s loads of information on classes and help and other functions going on here. The amazing FRANKIE - head librarian was a delight to met. A powerhouse that not only has extensive knowledge of her job but loves every aspect of it. She gave me a sticker booklet (I’m 47!) which has space for all Brooklyn libraries. You ask each library for their sticker when you go. I loved that she didn’t assume because I’m older that it would not be of interest. She carries a certain air to her that keeps patrons in check. The space is calm even when people come in to make use of the air condition. It was quiet except for some low level influencer talking a phone call at closing Great place to study. There’s an area to charge electronics which isn’t very large but keeps the keyboard warriors to one area. Not ideal but for those of use that prefer peace this works well. Lots of classes which I in certain areas. Play area for toddlers down stairs in a room. I will definitely go back. 11 minute walk...

It's truly the best Library I've been to in this neighborhood. The librarian is wonderful... very knowledgeable on different things not just Library stuff but nyc.gov stuff also. Even the security guard was truly Pleasant. Inside the library is beautiful. If I had the money I would buy it and make it into a house lol. That's how gorgeous it is inside. Even if you don't come here to do library stuff. Is definitely a nice place to come for peace and quiet and AC in...

This library is always so organized! I lived a block away from here growing up and the changes I’ve seen have been impressive. The library has always maintained its clean structure outside and I love how tentative the people that work there are. I also enjoy that fact that you can know check out your own books, pay with card and it just makes everything so...
