Queens Borough Public Library – Court Square

This is a cozy spot and convenient in the immediate area to rest up or bring a computer to work on. The selections are limited being a library. The staff are friendly though if you need help with anything. Make sure to check the time if you want to stop by as it is not as consistent.

Smaller library, friendly staff, limited book, quirky hours. You could always order a book from the catalogue if it’s not carried here. Shout out to there being a Starbucks and a dominos a corner away

This library is ok only one I could go to that isn’t so bad just the wait for the computer is ridiculous. And when your on the computer citi bank workers come down and force you off or ask to use some of your time like you have computers upstairs so why come down if your on break use your time wisely instead of coming last minute. The library also has a bunch of hooligans hanging around all the time kids from around the neighborhood I lived around here for awhile and I know how they grow up they only come to the library as a hang out spot shouldn’t waste your time with queens library’s as they all don’t have control over the place Manhattan library’s are way better

This hybrid library branch has a robust collection for the size. I wish they were open longer hours but it’s great to be able to request and check out items at such a convenient and friendly location.

Never been here yet because the hours are so ridiculous. Would be awesome to have a fully functioning library with regular hours, though!

Miniscule but definitely clean and quiet. Did not see children running wild here so if you’re a childfree person or someone who doesn’t want to deal with noisy little kids, this is the place for you.
Sort of a hidden branch so you have to be in the know to get here. The movie collection is definitely better than average since they don’t just stock all the Hollywood crap. I wish there were more such spaces around for adults since this is definitely the branch for people who behave like adults vs. rabble.

This is the worst one, they don’t have any of the books I want most of the time. Its not always quiet because of how crowded long island city is getting. Seriously, I would rather take the train to astoria to go to a real library. Don’t waste your time here. Also the open hours aren’t good.

Unlike other branches of Queens Library, this one particular condescending beep of a librarian previously refused to place an item on hold for me to pickup later in the day. Now, they charge me a $ 1 fine for a CD I returned ON TIME using their self-​service book return machine they just installed on the outside of their entrance. The same librarian tells me the CD case was missing, even though I KNOW I returned the damn CD with its case! Then, she has the eff’in nerve to tell me if the CD case isn’t found, I still have to pay the fine!
They’re probably the smallest branch of Queens Library I have visited with the smallest selection I have seen, so why the stupid, pretentious attitude — they’re not THAT special!

It’s the next generation of libraries. Clean, smart, efficient. Located in a big room in the Citi complex, run by a small staff of probably 4 people at a time, they maximize space, time and my taxes. Thank you.
I love the drop box roller system. You place the item in the slot and it grabs it from you with the rollers. WWwwwwwhhhiiiip! These things excite me.
The book selection is small and if you are looking for a specific book — good luck. Otherwise, it’s fine for browsing Barnes and Noble style — «oh, this looks good!» For the space, there are a lot of computers, and with few pesky kids to worry about, there is a frequent but orderly exchange of computer users .
Considering the size of the library, the dvds have a disproportionately large selection. There are definitely some gems in there. Take my most recent take-​outs: Juliette Lewis and Brad Pitt in a made for TV movie: Too Young To Die?, Andy Warhol in Cocaine Cowboys, Fearless about Jeff Bridges surviving a plane crash and a sundance type movie with mark ruffalo and Naomi Watts where everyone’s trading spouses. Weird stuff, all the time. Whoever’s picking the movies, I want to shake their hand.
