Sunnyside Book and Media Swap, Public Library and Donation Center
Public library
👍👍 A concept difficult for some to understand: free books. This table is a labor of love. It’s a clean, friendly, well-lighted place, with books available for children as well as adults. It’s organized by a skeleton crew of volunteers, so the books are arranged mostly by size, but in general categories...

👍👍 If you want to visit the famous Rose Room, you can't just walk in (unless you're doing research). You'll need to book a free guided tour through the library. They have tours 11am - 2pm. The rest of the library is beautiful too.

👍 Passport Applicants! Some information you’ll need to know if you’re applying or renewing here. Subject to change... Our approximate wait time was about 5 hours on a Sunday afternoon.

🫤 Went there yesterday around 1:00 P.M. and was treated with extreme rudeness and disrespect. Wanted them to order a couple of books for me. Didn't have my card. Couldn't find it at home before I left, so I jotted down a couple of old numbers from my address book that I thought were valid. First I w...

Battery Park City Library
Public library

You would think people knew that library environments are meant to be quiet. Well the staff speaks in top volume, they...
