Parkchester Library — Attraction in New York

Too bad I can't give ZERO stars. Me and my friend have been singled out and have been treated very unfairly here. It is unconstitutional. There are dozens of instances but I shall only name two. One time, I rushed to the upstairs bathroom because the downstairs bathroom was occupied and had a line. With a smile I asked politely for the bathroom keys while holding my bleeding finger. I was denied the keys because I was over the age of 12. Even though others who were my age and older right before me had been able to use the upstairs bathroom. As I was going down to the steps to go the downstairs bathroom, the employee rudely shouted at me to go "downstairs!" Just a few months ago, my friend and I left a laptop unattended while we were outside for exactly 6 minutes. When we came back we were told the laptop had been taken away because we were gone. Which we thought was unnecessary but we understood and did not complain. The laptop was under my name. My library card was suspended for 1 month but my friend was also denied use of a laptop for being next to me. she had no relations with the laptop which I was using and was in my name. because she was seen with me, she was Denied the use of a laptop for the next month. Me and my friend didn't agrue. Later that day, me and my friend were kicked out because we took a book from it's shelf and placed it in a nearby spot. As you can see we where treated very unfairly. If any of the staff are reading this, you...

I like that the library is close and convenient, but there’s a lot of people that work here that are so miserable and shouldn’t honestly be around books or people. One of them is a white older guy (sorry don’t know your name) with long hair whose balding. He’s the most miserable person in existence. He never wants to help and it feels like you’re doing a disservice to him by being there. The other day I was there and he obnoxiously got in my way as I was looking at books hovering over me pretending to fix something. When I gave up and just checked out what I had because I felt he was being rude then he wanted to go back to his desk and proceed to stare at me. For what I don’t know. I go here every other week and I honestly didn’t appreciate that from him. We need more people there like the girl with the green hair who actually loves books and is happy to be...

I have been going here for the longest time (since I was a toddler!) and this place is a very great place. They have amazing programs for people of all ages and have a high reach of resources and such a wide genre of books! It’s also quite clean. The staff are super friendly too! The only thing I could possibly complain about are the bathrooms😅. However, the kids (11-13) there are a little bit loud and take all the computers for games but the librarians do make the kids lower their voices otherwise they kick them out. The computer problem is kind of out of their reach to fix and the easiest solution is checking out a laptop (of course they don’t let you take it out of the library, everyone has a timed session on all computers and laptops). I’m actually considering volunteering or working their part time. It’s a wonderful...
