New Rochelle Public Library Review

I live in a retirement high-rise building in N.R. I have discovered that a visit to this library is beneficial to my complete outlook on life. I am able to utilize all levels and services on all the floors. As I do not have a printer at home, I am glad that I can use the computers and others machines here. The only concern I have is that sometimes when the tables on teen floor are full with teenagers, they get loud and seem to be more about having a loud get-together than applying themselves to a study group. The talking and laughing carries all the way to the top level. This makes it difficult to concentrate on a project while sitting at a table upstairs. It would be nice if staff were to monitor the groups to maintain more decorum. Regardless, I truly enjoy the building assets, free programs, the courtyard out front, and of course, the BOOKS.

Very nice place for kids and adults I take my twins there at least three times a week. My girls love when they have storie time and all the activities great place to go.

Staff at this Library are not LGBTQ+ freindly, in this day and age it is a shame to feel discriminated against and uncomfortable in a public setting.

There's limited browsing opportunities and computer access. Borrow books using the website, put on hold and then come for curbside pickup. Always call ahead to make sure they're open, especially with the midday closure for deep cleaning. I thank them for the great job they're doing!

The same oversized books, with the same format since I was a small kid in the 70's. Awesome place!

I love this library!! I've been a member since 2002 and it has a great variety of books and new editions too. It's also very active and is doing a number of events and kids activities.

They need to do a lot of change because in the library park its look like a homeless shelter and addict making that place a spot to get high ,forgetting there's childrens are around

This library is truly the hub of the community and should be a model for all other libraries. (I'm raising my eyebrows at you NYPL). Curated art exhibits, Zimbabwe and yoga classes, learn needlepoint, take computer lessons, get tax help, go see live music and dance. This library is so much more than the extensive book collection. There is a teen center complete with couch. The children's area is a beacon for young imaginations. The Library Friends operate a used bookstore that is open Tuesday and Thursday 10 to 4. Saturday 10 to 2. There is a great Farmers Market in the attached park. Spring through fall. There is so much to experience here and I'm always excited to see how busy it is.

This the heartbeat of New Rochelle, providing access to information for citizens from every part of town, and hundreds of programs from education to the arts.

Very noisy, it seem like it's everyone's hangout(the homeless, mothers with children...) and the parking is a paying parking which make it a lot more complicated. The staff is pretty good at maintaining order beside the noise.

I love to go there a week at a time, because of Kira.

Elisa loves playing the touch screen games on the computer.

It is a beautiful place and people are very friendly.

I lived in downtown New Ro right across from the library for years when I was little. Some of my earliest memories come from playing on the Library Green or checking out a book from its immense collection. Whenever I go back, I see the emergence of a new generation of children, technology, and learning. Highly recommend!!

This is a terrific library, with knowledgeable and helpful staff, and wonderful art exhibits in the gallery. They offer many services to the community as well as performances in their lovely theater.

This is a library I am happy to recommend. Why? Since today you don't see libraries like this like you used to. I know today libraries are not as popular as they used to be, and this is even a better reason to recommend and support.

My dear library, I get hold of my favorite movies...

Always a great experience, everyone that works there are very helpful, and polite!

Its a big library with lots of book collections. Its has huge park right outside. Childrens' section is also big. For adults there is a separate second floor to read. They organize many events like story telling, dance performances. I like the art section where you will find different art collection every month. Recently they have installed self check out kiosks. The only thing I don't like about this library is that book returning window is very outdated. There is a a drop box without scanner. I once dropped a book and they said they haven't received it and I had no proof that I returned and I end up paying the cost of that book. So you should always return to the library person rather than thr drop box.

They have so much to do, if you need a computer, they have plenty, things to do for kids, check their calendar.

It's a great library. People are really friendly and there is huge collection of books and DVDs. I love spending my evenings and weekends there. But the only thing is that it's not a quiet milieu. Even the quiet sections are not so quiet..kids are screaming n nobody stops them.

I grew up in this library - definitely a gem in the city of New Rochelle, so much to offer with so many resources. The staff are director are amazing, kind and caring!

They have some wonderful events, and a small but lovely theatre. Well worth looking into if you're in the area and looking for something to do.

This library is very nice, on weekend's there are concerts and performances. They have all the stuff other libraries have and used books for sale.
