St. Agnes Library | Manhattan, NY

One of the New York Public library near Broadway. Visiting New York for the first time. Awesome library with 4 floors. English classes were in session for English speaker of other languages. Stayed here to read the newspaper for 30 minutes or so until lunch time. Great library.

Such caring and helpful staff! If you don't see the book you're looking for, they'll order it for you. Saturday movies. Computers. Tech help. A wonderful resource for the community. Go!

New York Public Library St. Agnes branch is a great local library branch in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. It has two main floors and is usually appropriately quiet. Some school children use library after school and they're good selections for kids books as well as adults.

I appreciate the service at this library. My friend and I came to renew her library card today but she forgot to bring ID. We started to leave and Corey, one of the library clerks chased us down and said he took care of it and wanted to save her the return trip. So kind! We are grateful there are still people who serve the public well.

Good library. Just got redone a little bit so is nice and clean and a bit more open. Sometimes that cough* cough* person at the desk on the 2nd floor can be... really annoying. However, overall it is a nice library and I go often.
