Brooklyn Public Library - Flatlands Branch | Brooklyn, NY

Very good for small children, been going to this library since my baby was 6 months. Lots of children's programs and space to play away from the main library

I was here because my card was not working online. It took a bit of pleading but before long the staff jumped to action. My problem was solved within minutes. The facilities are clean. The workers there seem to accurately and refreshingly represent the people who live in the neighborhood. I'll surely be back. Grateful.

Only missing a water fountain and maybe more comfortable chairs. Nice staff, great amenities.

Excellent branch which does not let size become an obstacle in providing books, DVDs, computer use, and hosting of events. There is a charging station, which is one power strip with about four outlets, which is fine, because the library doesn't seem to draw large amounts of people. While book selection is on the small side, one can always put holds on materials and they will be brought to the branch. The staff is friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. This branch is well-maintained and clean, not quite as much in the men's room, but functional. (I can't comment on the ladies' bathrooms, for obvious reasons.) The one thing that I believe would be a good addition is another table for those who want to sit and just read or do other work. At present, another table is for people charging laptops, etc and next to it is the computer station, where people have access to library computers. Again, this is a small branch, which serves the community well.
