Epiphany Library — Attraction in New York

Review: A Gem of a Library

I recently visited the local library, and I must say, it's a hidden gem. The first thing that caught my attention was the clean and fast internet service. Whether I was browsing for research materials or simply streaming a video, the connection was reliable and lightning-fast, making my time there incredibly productive.

The staff deserves a special mention for their exceptional helpfulness. From guiding me through the library's extensive collection to assisting with technical issues, they were always approachable and eager to assist. Their knowledge and friendliness truly enhanced my library experience.

The library itself is impeccably tidy, with neatly arranged shelves and a peaceful atmosphere conducive to studying and reading. It's evident that the staff takes pride in maintaining a welcoming and organized environment for visitors.

What impressed me the most was the library's comprehensive collection. From classic literature to the latest bestsellers, it has almost everything one could ask for in a library. The diverse range of resources caters to various interests and research needs, making it a valuable resource for the community.

Overall, my experience at this library was nothing short of excellent. With its clean environment and fast internet, helpful staff, and extensive collection, it's a haven for bibliophiles and researchers alike. I highly recommend paying a visit and exploring all that it...

Nicely managed, basic, small local library. Internet speed is great. Second floor is children only. Third floor was closed. Is that where the nice photos were taken? Ground floor is very basic small 1960s looking library room. Bathroom was very clean and is within view of the desk librarian so maybe that minimizes any funny business persisting in it.

I got there an hour after it opened and the spaces were 90% taken. If you are willing to sit at a table with 2 or 3 strangers, you will be fine finding a place to work. Grammercy neighborhood coffee shops have no Wi-fi (none) in my experience, so this is the only game in this part of town if you are trying to work.

Alternative places to work: 40th Street public library and 42nd Street public library (also full but large capacity and tables always open up). Being in town all week, needing to take a few calls, I wished I had arranged ahead of time for rent at a co-working space somewhere. These libraries are very hush hush quiet. You would never be allowed to do a Zoom call at any of them. Unless there are rooms I...

I AM always amazed how surly and unfriendly the library staff is here. I have met one young lady with blonde hair who appears professional and caring. My family always gives to the NYPL...I think we need to reconsider. I have been in publishing for years and a devoted bibliophile. I love books and love libraries but when you are greeted coldly and callously how does this encourage new members to the library. I think since most staff arent trained librarians who have books programmed in their DNA MAYBE MANAGEMENT NEEDS TO TRAIN STAFF IN COLLEGIALITY AND BASIC PR SKILLS.

But, in general the five libraries I visit from THE LIONS to the Village, the staff can be hit or miss in providing services to the public. The key word is SERVICE. Surely, the LIBRARY MANAGEMENT can tweak its interviewing process to attract more service oriented staff...
