Queens Public Library at McGoldrick — Attraction in New York

This a small location that is well organized with very kind and helpful staff. The female staff we’ve encountered are very friendly and encouraging to younger readers.

This was one of the few locations that restarted their toddler storytime when the Covid pandemic was stabilizing. This program is lead by Ms Michelle — who is wonderful! Knows all the kids’ names and always welcomes new and old with a big smile. She also tries to bring in different instructors during the spring and fall for different activities for both parents and toddlers.

For such a small location, there is a lot of neighborhood charm and lots of resources they provide. Really appreciate that the director of this location tries to bring different programs for young and old. All are advertised on their website so it’s easily accessible. There are ethnic dances, crafts for kids, crafts for adults, language courses, even shows...

I like the librarian who works during the week days, she really respectful and run the library under rules. She keeps the library quiet and comfortable. But the librarian who works on Saturday makes a lot of trouble here. She doesn’t care about others who really need the library to study here. She talks a lot to others and too loud, when she stay there alone, she using her phone to let the speaker on and the voice out. Even the customer knows to answer the phone outside. She had shoulder-length curly bob hair. She open the two doors to let the cold wind in during a snowing and windy day only because she feels hot. What’s the point of the two doors? The wind can come in, the snow can come in, but people who are reading or studying cannot come in. Thank God, finally I saw the best employee sit at the front desk on...
