Queens Borough Public Library – Broad Channel

Queens Library– Broad Channel Branch hones a small circular building that serves the island. Quaint, small, but cozy and more than a neighborhood local library. There is an excellent children and teenage book selection along with the standard free internet stations are ample for library patrons. Staff is very friendly and welcoming for the island’s hospitality.
It sits visible on the major road, Cross Bay Boulevard and easily accessible by the Q21, Q52, or Q53 buses as I’ve seen it many times en route to my high school in the Rockaway Peninsula. This is my very first visit inside and I’m happy for a jewel find. The building’s circular but small structure piqued my interest, amid it’s real far distance from mainland Queens, but the quiet atmosphere calls for finding time to sit and read in seclusion away from the world.

I have never been inside this library, but from the outside and peering in the window, I can say it is definitely one of the prettiest libraries in the entire NYPL, Brooklyn or Queens system. Elegant modern design, individual, plenty of light. No matter their selection, I might come back just to sit and read.
The only problem is that it’s REALLY FAR AWAY.
