Queens Public Library at Central | Queens, NY

"This Central Library is an absolute gem for the Jamaica community! The facility is modern and spacious, and they have excellent resources. I love using the self-checkout kiosks—it makes getting books incredibly fast and easy. The staff is always welcoming, highly competent, and ready to help you locate materials or use the computers. Highly recommended for students, remote workers, or anyone looking for a quiet place to read!"

The library has changed over the years. In to the modern day. They have a separate teens section from the children. Returning books is super easy. I love that they have toddler time and kick off to kindergarten. They are really nice programs for parents to take there kids to learn to get along with others and for kids that will start school soon. Also they are well organized when it comes to the books. However the dust build up is noticeable and where they have the books for 1-4 year olds really needs a cleaning. The fish tank is all written on with crayon I believe the computer needs wiping and fixing. And the floors in general need mopping.

One of the best libraries in Queens ! The best selections and you can put books you want to read , on layaway. Best of all is the computer library and the quiet rooms to study.

Never returning. Rude lady, Ms. Mah.I have a library card. She wanted a FULL background check ran on me. She wanted my id, my passport, full address to show i am who I am WASNT ENOUGH. She could see everything I told her about myself! I couldn't use the library! Waste of time!
