The library provides a comfortable atmosphere for these types of gatherings, can accommodate food and drink, and plenty of parking. They also have a large selection of books on tape, DVDs, as well as books and research materials - with librarians standing by to assist.

I live close by and among the public libraries around, this is definitely my favorite. The main reading area has 4 tables that seat 4 people as well as a couple of couches. Each table has outlets, so you can plug in your laptop and do work/study easily. Wifi is free and has excellent speed! There are also individual rooms with tables that seat about 4 as well. The best thing about this library is that is has natural lighting throughout. This makes it a very good place to spend the entire day studying/working. The natural sunlight keeps the place nice and bright, unlike many libraries that have a dark and dull atmosphere. I really do believe the lighting helps with focus and mood, making it a great place to study! I choose this place over other public libraries as well as coffee shops in the area. It has a great overall atmosphere and I recommend it for all people trying to get work/studying done.

Good library. Nice and quiet to read, study and get work done... so long as it doesn't require…read moreWifi. Problem is the WiFi is not reliable. the best place to access their WiFi is downstairs (away from the nice view and the quiet study area). And sometimes, it doesn't work so well down there either. Also, you can't get a library card if you live out of town. Maybe that's a standard for libraries, I can't say. But you can't access their computers without a library card. In short, it's a very nice library to get some quiet time to read and get work done. But you're going to need to use your own hotspot access if you want to read books on your Kindle or IPad. I sincerely hope they fix this and join everyone in the 21st century. Until then, the New York Sports Club in the same shopping center has WiFi... but it's not quiet there in the least. :-/

The Croton Library is close to our usual NY stomping grounds, but we hadn't been, so we took one weekday afternoon to check it out. I'm very glad we did, since I think this is now my favorite library in New York, and definitely on the Top Five list period! The library looks small on the outside, but don't be fooled by its commonplace appearance. While it may lack the grandeur of others of its kin, step inside, and you'll see a gorgeous space with an ample children's section, hundreds of DVDs and audiobooks, and shelves upon shelves of adult fiction and nonfiction sections. You could easily spend all day just browsing the stacks - never mind even getting around to reading! I was especially delighted to come across a hard to find book about the making of Pulp Fiction, and enjoyed getting lost in the world of Tarantino while I sat in one of the comfy chairs they have for reading! Shout out to library page extraordinaire, Julian, for his impeccable customer service and helpful friendliness when we had a zillion questions about random and obscure books. As other reviewers have said - there's not enough good things to say about this library! Truly awesome!

On an annual trip to NYC, I decided I would visit bookstores and take in all I could. B&B was right…read moreby my hotel, and I was delighted to find a comfortable room full of baseball memorabilia and a great variety. They specialize in 19th and 20th century English and American literature, which means you're going to see a lot of titles you're familiar with. I stopped in late in their day, so I wasn't surprised to be the only one there, but the team gave me space, answered very basic questions I had, and - gasp - LET ME TOUCH THE BOOKS. This is far from a stuffy environment, and when I finally convince my partner that I need that very expensive piece that has F. Scott Fitzgerald's music for Princeton, I know exactly where I'll go.

5 minutes before B&B books was closing, I buzzed the room located on the third floor to see if they…read morewould let me in "just to look." Well, 45 minutes later, I was still oohing and awing at the marvelous selection of first edition books they have to offer. This is the largest selection (aside from corporate-owned Bauman's) of rare books I've seen that include the dust jacket- a collectors actual dream. It's the biggest breath of fresh air to find a rare book store owned by a woman, and to be treated like a human being. I normally get side-eyed from rare bookstore owners and some of the conversations I've had sound like: "May I see the Portrait of a Lady in the case?" "All of these books are at least $100.00 and up." ".....I know." "Do you have any Wilde?" "The book about the woman hiking alone? That's too new to be in our shop, Barnes & Noble would have it." "I'm talking about the 1800s poet." "Oh." I take it personally because while I look like a millennial who doesn't know what she's talking about, I treasure my rare books like they're my children. Sunday stayed AN EXTRA HOUR at her store while I looked and answered all of my questions that I had, never making me feel rushed or unwelcome. After selecting a first edition Fitzgerald, she wrapped it in bubble wrap for my travels back home and gave me an updated book with all of the rare book sellers in the country.
