Inwood Library on Postcard

"Don't look at me like that. Libraries are rad. Libraries are free. It's about access and opportunity for all. Libraries are where the community gathers to share ideas. It's where the people stop and think. It's where one can navigate new ideas and find information. All my love stories start at the library. Love for knowledge, love for ideas, love for treasures, and love for a safe place to think. Inwood's two-story library has a Spanish-language collection, plenty of tables, and artwork with an uptown focus. It's a haven, if there ever was one." - Jeanne Henry

It's a really nice library with two floors and plenty of seating. It can get pretty busy on the weekends. In terms of book selection, there is much to be desired. There are really not a lot of books in this library. Overall a great place to study.

Not enough bathrooms. Too long a wait to relieve oneself. No paper towels, no toilet seat liners, the bathroom smells, no exhaust system or window, The library itself is bright and inviting. Should have a cafe or a snack bar. Should have a garden outdoor reading area. Should open at 3:00 pm and close at 10:00 pm. Thank you for answering me You haven't dealt with the issue of not enough toilets, no paper towels, no toilet seat liners. Also the library hours serve the staff well but not the community. Children are in school until 3pm. Fathers and mothers work and are home evenings. There has to be a schedule of library hours that serve these major neighborhood populations. It's not only about a nice new building, it's about serving the community well. Please respond to these real important issues

Bigger than former library but poorly designed. Marble floors carry sound and with the children’s programs in the back of the library, shouting and squealing children making lots of noise as the leave. The loudest library I have ever been to. Good luck trying to study or get any work done if you do not have noise canceling headphones. The wood chairs have no felt on the bottom so whenever someone pulls out a chair it sounds like nails on a chalk board.

Beautiful new library! Had the book I was looking for. I checked ahead online - there are limited shelves of books but many different categories and seemed like a good broad collection.

I wish they never changed this location the new workers are racist I was in the children’s section with my younger brother helping with homework I was putting something away in my purse and the lady came running to look into my bag then a little later told my younger brother no eating. All he was doing was homework no food no nothing we ended up leaving due to Being uncomfortable. So disappointing.

The environment here is neat friendly calm and spacious! The new water fountain is amazing and theres a good vibe here when I want to be indoors away from the rowdy city life to study or pick up holds I order from the nypl app on my phone! Cant find this anywhere else. Computers are brand new also theres charging stations for personal tablet or your own laptops. The customer service is good as usual!

Excellent library. Very modern, lots of space, airy feeling with lots of natural light, different places to sit down including for more work/study tasks or more casual reading/relaxing as well.
