Harry Belafonte 115th Street Library — Attraction in New York

The children’s floor is a sad place bc none of the workers seem to actually like children. They seem to awkwardly hover over you until they get there opportunity to yell at you for your children's behaviour even when A. You've already taken care of it as the parent and B. What they were doing was not something other children were not already doing. Its sad really. The girl that restocks books is pleasant but all the others are fairly grumpy and assume the worst when you enter. Storytime is led by a worker that seems shy and uncomfortable leading a group. Why in one of the greatest cities on earth can we not find workers that like children? I know plenty are out there. Please hire some and let a love of reading and books take root in our little ones, our future...

I do not recommend this library at all. I spent the entire time swatting flies, FLIES! I visited this library twice this week and I have to say this place is old, worn down and dirty. I mean the first/ main floor is swarming with flies and the upholstery is all ripped. I mean how can anyone relax in this place with the amount of flies and noise throughout the building.

This library is situated on West 115th Street. It may not be very large or luxurious, but it offers all the essential amenities, including free internet access, a clean environment, and a designated area for children and young adults to learn. Although there are occasional instances of staff members talking, which can create some noise, overall, it's a good place. If you need to use the restroom, you'll need to request the key from the front desk. The Wi-Fi can be a bit inconsistent; at times, it's very fast, while at other times, it's quite slow. I would give this library a rating of 4 out...
