Pelham Bay Library

Streamline & safe process to pick up books during covid.

Staff is friendly, library is spacious, comfortable and has great selection of books. Most importantly it is quiet as a library should be. They have a GREAT display celebrating the library's 125 th anniversary!

Although a very nice library in the daynnThis library is like going into the feeding den at the Bronx zoonnThere are elementary and middle school kids who come to hang out. They have no respect for the security guard nor the people who actually come to studynnThe staff just sit there like they are afraid of these kids. They need a police officer or two in herennOr just open up romps a room in here. What a disgrace

Very important for Read great New York Public Library so I went there sometime for Help my Unknown words more Better experience...

Staff no friendly and moody. Plenty of computers and laptops. On Summer time is nice and quiet, but school time is awful. Once the new lady manager screamed at the ps71 kids in front of everybody in the library. I felt very disrespected. She can’t control herself, can’t expect kids to behave. For story time Miss Ferrer did an awesome job, she was energetic, friendly and kids loved her, unfortunately she left. Library is clean.
