City Island Library

What a wonderful woman helped me today to check out the books I placed on hold and picked up today. It was an eerie reminder of Covid taking your temperature and being led through the aisles to pick up your own books and then check out. It was comforting to be able to check out books as well. Safety protocols are in place and made me feel protected. The woman helped me with some questions I had with Overdrive and resolved them happily.

It is a very good place to go to recharge your batteries. The place is very quiet and has a lot of books...it is basically the 2ND BEST LIBRARY that I have been. The staff is wonderful and friendly. I will go there to just relax and I recommend you go too.

Friendly and helpful staff. Very relaxed atmosphere. Great selection of maritime related books.

Small library. Selection isn't that great, but service always is. They're friendly, helpful and informative. It's a nice location to go and study or use the computers.

Very small library but it is a small island so not sure what you'd expect. I was surprised there are no bookstores in the Bronx so I'm glad to see libraries are pretty common. This one has a limited selection but the staff seems to have put thought into local interests (historical and nautical literature, primarily) and current events (e.g. women's history month) when designing their displays and feature book collections.
