New York Public Library - Jefferson Market

There IS a restroom ! First floor in the children's section, there are two sets of black doors--the door in the very back is a restroom . Ask the circ desk for the key.

I really like this beautiful branch library , but it is the only NYPL location I've ever been to that doesn't have a bathroom for patrons .

Beautiful place to work but restrooms are only for children & their caregivers so it's good to be here for a few hours then head nearby for lunch & a restroom

Beautiful space to work, lots of communal tables . Only problem is that there's no bathroom - you have to go to nearby coffee shops .

Originally built as the Third Judicial District Courthouse ; faced with demolition, public outcry led to its reuse as a branch of the New York Public Library

Beautiful building. Don't forget downstairs art .

This library gets very WARM during the winter. A cozy place to read a book , I suppose. ♨️

Be aware library dwellers. There is no restroom here. Be sure to check out the beautiful garden adjacent to the library .

The stain glass and spiral staircase to the 2nd Floor take you back in time.

this is definitely my favorite new york library branch. it is like a church !

One of the more beautiful NYPL locations !

This neighborhood landmark is a functioning library . Look out for the beautiful stained glass windows and take some snaps in the garden next door !

One of the best repurposed landmark buildings in the city .

One of the most beautiful libraries in the city . If only they had a bathroom .

Hie thee to this simple sanctuary. When you've had your glut of free wifi and oddly beautiful architecture (once voted the fourth most beautiful building in America), take a stroll through the garden .

The Children's Room is on the first floor of this landmark building, which was once a courthouse . And shhhhhhh… there’s a gorgeous community garden in the back.Powered by ParentsConnect.com Read more

No public restrooms . You can only use the one on the 1st floor if you are accompanying a child

But a thing is that they don't have restroom here. You should go to Starbucks or other places if you really need to stop by.

Great place to cowork quietly ! Read more
