Rose Main Reading Room

One of the most beautiful reading rooms in the country . Be sure and stop here when in NYC. The gift store on the first floor of the library is also neat.

Such a calm place to work . Free WiFi , outlets aplenty and you can sit in a perfectly beautiful quiet room. Take breaks by looking up to admire the architecture and views out the windows.

A great place to come and read when it's just dreadful outside. The best part is the more you read, the more knowledge you have. The more knowledge you have, the more exquisite your brain tastes!

One of the best places to work in the city . Quiet , power outlets near every seat and free wifi .

The Rose Main Reading Room is a majestic public space, measuring 78 feet by 297 feet—roughly the length of two city blocks—and weaving together Old World architectural elegance with modern technology. Read more

Ear plugs solve the loud chairs issue. Best place to read or study hands down.
