Pelham Parkway-Van Nest Library

Great library! Great customer service. Pleasant workers. Great jewelry classes.

Courteous, friendly and helpful staff, reading and fun activities for toddlers to keep them engaged and wanting to learn more.

Haven't really had issues, but if you have a sensitive nose the bathroom is a bit pungent. Been going there practically 2-3 days every week and most of the time quite quiet, only issue is the kids/teen section is directly next to most of the book areas, as well as the desks and computers. If the teens are being obnoxiously loud, then that's an issue. Staff seem pretty solid but won't really mess around the teen section even if they are being loud. Great place just to plop in and look around on your phone or possibly grab a book off the shelf, like others have said it is quite small and there's only about 6 soft seats within the library, so would recommend but have seen and been in better libraries.

The staff is very nice n friendly n very helpful

Great place to relax and read
