New York Public Library - Mulberry Street

The New York Public Library 's Mulberry Street Branch Library is located at the site of a former chocolate factory in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan , historically known as the Cast Iron District.

Love the self-check out and outdoor book drop. Really nice inside since it's fairly new. There's a decent amount of seating and books to browse. A couple of guys who work the desk are friendly

Far bigger than it looks: took them a couple years to dig down 3 floors and install an elevator . This branch has so much to offer!!

This place is much bigger than it looks. Tons of seating on the main level, but also on the two basement levels. And free wifi !

this library is adjacent to some kind of holistic perfume store and they must share a vent because it smells like a dream. don't go down past the first floor as it gets dark and depressing.

Pretty, newly renovated library with lovely, large seating section and great kids' area.

The Mulberry Street Library is in a former chocolate factory , operated by Hawley & Hoops at the turn of the 20th century.

Clean , with ample reading/working space, but the internet is so slow you're better off browsing the online catalogue at home.

Open wifi , abundant seating space, and rentable books ! Definitely underrated.

There's power outlets for laptops (or whatever) at the very bottom of the benches on the street-level floor.

Staff has always been super friendly and helpful.

Pick up your reserved items directly opposite the front desk.

The story times are on Tuesday at 10:30 am and 11:30 am. Thursdays at 10:30 am.

In a time crunch? Order your books online, and pick them up just inside the entrance!

Whoa, a library that feels like a quiet bookstore and smells like a spa ? Yes, please!

You can leave all materials in the bookdrop. But don't leave brooklyn or queens stuff!

Book drop-off outside (only one around WV), ramp, popular storytime. #gobabygo

Don't even think about sitting in the children's section w/out a kid, even if just for a second + entire floor is empty - you will be told to move ASAP

Rodrigo is helpful, sweet, and CUTE .
