Love it

Would you go back? Yes

Great place. Beautiful building. A lot of history there. As a guy who likes books and all things academic I enjoy being there. Nobody bothers you, and it's relatively quiet. I just wish there were more computers as the wait to get on one is quite long- but I guess that is to be expected at a public library in Midtown Manhattan. Also, the gift shop is nice, too, although a little small. And the lady who works there was quite rude (this is going back to Summer 08). Being next to Bryant Park doesn't hurt either. 8/10.
