Story

The Sedgwick Branch of The New York Public Library is located on University Avenue at the corner of West 176th Street. It is a modern building with an innovative circular community room cased in stainless steel and large windows that flood the library with afternoon sunlight.

Fully accessible to persons who use wheelchairs, the two-story facility houses an adult and young adult collection on the second floor, and children's collection on the first floor. The community room is available for community group meetings as well as library programs.

Open to the public since 1951, the library was originally located on the ground floor of the Sedgwick Houses, a large housing project. It was relocated to its current location in June 1994. An extensive renovation added a second floor with an elevator and 19 computer workstations.

it's not very bad but the staff are literally zombies and don't care about why you are there. When i went to use the bathroom the two police men just stared at me and laughed also their bathroom is soooooo nasty. When i lost my library card and went to get a new one i stopped her because she literally kept rolling her eyes and she looked like she was in her 20's but she must be so depressed. anyways the books upstairs are good.

A cool little oasis- full of books! Also great programming for brainy little kids that like to build stuff. And a very cool movie program area. Me and my girls give it six thumbs up!!!!!!!

It's not a bad library, but the book selection is thin and the staff has as much life as the cast from your typical zombie flick.
