Brooklyn Public Library – Washington Irving Library

I give two stars because the staff here is kind. It is already the rare quality to find anywhere in the system. Also the building looks nice that I always wanted to step in this site. After the long wait, finally here I came.
The fundamental problem that I found in this branch is that it has very few books that I got the impression that this was because it is in a transitional state and it is on the process of increasing their stacks eventually. Or is this a wishful thinking for no ground? I had not seen this slim collection in any other branches from even the notoriously neglected Bklyn system on the whole. Or, is it the most deserted of the deserted for some reason? Given the location, this branch might extend its potential. But at this moment, the impression of its being some makeshift persists. If you have other ways to make use of the library system such as making here as your nearby hold pick-​up stop, wi-​fi binging or sitting in a venue for (relative) silence, this would still do.
The biggest headache of the system – abusive staff or unruly and disturbing patrons – was nowhere to be found during my visit. Or, chances are, I just got lucky for the day. This was enough reason for me to get excited, however. I don’t know if I am commending or trashing. Hopefully the former, and will observe their growth.
