Huguenot Park Library, Staten Island NY

This is a fantastic building/establishment. It is a branch of the New York Public Library. Having been to many different branches of the New York Public Library, inside of Staten Island and outside in other boroughs, this particular location in comparison to the others is grade A. It has multiple levels/floors, separating different purposes or intentions for coming to the library to avoid confusion and keep a cool, calm, and quiet environment. Great place to research or study, and it has a large selection of books and information.

Just great to know the library has summer pop up tents. The workers were extremely helpful and supportive. The workers really go far and beyond to help anyone who walks in.

Great place to relax do what you need to do Choose a book There are also computers you can use if needed and kind employees

Having visited a few local libraries, this is one I prefer most. It is seemingly compact (because it has 2 floors, located in an area well accessibile by public transit and plenty free parking around. It is clean, tables are wiped regularly, and bookshelves are well stocked and arranged. The library staff are helpful and very patient. I would only wish there were more areas with electrical sockets, as I just saw one central table with a plug. I particularly like this branch for study and work, as it tends to be quieter and has less foot traffic than most other branches I ever visited.

What friendly security guard as posted in previous review? This dude from Securitas Security was on his cell phone when I entered library to return book. This guy needs retraining! First, cell phone usage only for breaks and lunches, not when you are supposedly guarding doorway. Multi-tasking! Cell phone in one hand and temperature gadget in the other.

This security guard talked down to me. I am not a three old child. This doesn't fit here in Huguenot. You don't talk down to people. He needs to change his tone of voice

I love this library.l'm always greeted nicely by the friendly security guard. Requests are available very quickly.

The building might be a little homely and the book collection not as expansive as most but the people there are amazing. They are willing to recommend you books, hold of fines (thank you so much.) etc.and overall make for an inclusive and warm environment.
