Brooklyn Public Library - Macon Branch | Brooklyn, NY

Its a nice library though it is very noisy. A lot of the time I have to put my headphones in just to focus on my school work...I remember there being a low volume requirement a few years ago. Libraries are supposed to be spaces where EVERYONE can focus and work or read quietly. They should definitely have the mothers with infants and younger children on a different floor or in a separate room especially because they breastfeed.

Very helpful staff to assist you. Its a quiet and cozy place to be. There is a wide variety of books to choose from. There are also activities for children which I think is great. Its easy to get to if you are talking the bus and train.

Ran into here thirty minutes to close in a pinch to print documents to submit in person to HRA, never have been to the library before. The librarian was super helpful in getting me set up with a library card just in time to print my documents before they closed. This is community :)

Relatively quiet and well organized. Staff members are quick to help. I needed to use a computer and I simply need to print out a guest pass which takes a second to get login details.

One of my favorite places in the world. Lively, lots of table and outlet space, great atmosphere.
