We are lucky in Battery Park City to have this gleaming example of how relevant, pleasant, and user-friendly a neighborhood branch library can be. Not to mention the green building, which is great.

Upstairs the periodicals reading area is a very nice space. Choose your magazine or newspaper. Relax, read, and then it goes back on the shelf. Your home stays clear of clutter and paper waste.

Convenient location, but air quality is questionable. This place has an unusually bad BO-like smell; in need of ventilation.

Weekends best / avoid stroller mob
