Brooklyn Public Library - Arlington Branch | Brooklyn, NY

Lovely library. As a Manhattanite I ventured here to collect a limited edition library. I enjoyed the history of the building and learnt a lot in the hour and a half I spent there. There’s loads of information on classes and help and other functions going on here. The amazing FRANKIE - head librarian was a delight to met. A powerhouse that not only has extensive knowledge of her job but loves every aspect of it. She gave me a sticker booklet (I’m 47!) which has space for all Brooklyn libraries. You ask each library for their sticker when you go. I loved that she didn’t assume because I’m older that it would not be of interest. She carries a certain air to her that keeps patrons in check. The space is calm even when people come in to make use of the air condition. It was quiet except for some low level influencer talking a phone call at closing Great place to study. There’s an area to charge electronics which isn’t very large but keeps the keyboard warriors to one area. Not ideal but for those of use that prefer peace this works well. Lots of classes which I in certain areas. Play area for toddlers down stairs in a room. I will definitely go back. 11 minute walk from the subway.

I came to this library after recently moving to New York to get a library card and print some documents. The Librarian Maribel helped me get a card. Even though some of the technology to put funds on the card wasn't working properly, Maribel still helped me get my documents printed. Excellent service and care. The library is quiet, clean, and beautiful as well.

I can't wait to bring READING INTERVENTION services to this branch. We're awaiting approval for THE ARTSY ATHENAEUM to offer these free services during library hours.

Great staff, small but peaceful space to focus. And there’s a charm to the building itself with its symmetrical wooden interior architecture. A good range of facilities to handle essential tasks as well. Situated in a quiet neighbourhood, beautiful.
