Brooklyn Public Library - Crown Heights Branch | Brooklyn, NY

I have visited a couple times as soon as it opened on Saturday. Lots of outlets for charging devices which is great. Nice manga section and a nice selection of foreign language DVD’s. The librarians are helpful. It was calm and quiet while I was there. Kids seem to start to come in 12-1 and it gets a bit noisier.

Looking a bit dated and run down despite the branch appearing to have be renovated in the early nineties. All and all, this institution is huge resource for the neighborhood and community.

Very friendly helpful staff and a spotless facility. I was given instructions on how to use the self service kiosks after having my card activated. Very large selection of books and computers available for use. We will definitely be back!

This BPL location is on the smaller side but it's the closest one to me so I use it to pick up books on hold. I visited to study once and it was kind of noisy and hard to focus. There was plenty of seating available, some with outlets and some without. Support your local library, get a library card, and utilize their resources! And be kind to your librarians!

This one is very loud. I don’t think the people that come here got the memo on how libraries are suppose to be a place you whisper and should be quiet. But it’s close to where I live. so I use it to pick up books and have to go to a cafe to get work done. Ironically a cafe is quieter than this place.
