  I’m reviewing this as a study space, I’ve not used their lending/ILL/computer services. This place rivals most NYPL branches as a study space, except for one important detail. The strange molded wooden chairs in the reading areas are the most UNCOMFORTABLE things I’ve ever sat on. They are TERRIBLE!!! There are nicer chairs in the (louder) lobby, but most of them aren’t near an outlet so they aren’t that useful as study spaces. My back and bottom were in so much pain that I’d rather take the half hour drive to campus and do work there. Also, more outlets throughout (including the reading room) would be nice. It's also closed on Sundays. But on the positive side, the library facilities are very nice and relatively modern. It’s a very pretty building. It’s reasonably quiet as a place to study. Numerous security guards keep noise down, though their presence is very off-putting. Staff is friendly. If you don’t mind the chairs or can work in one of the nicer chairs, it’s a nice place to quietly do work without distraction.
