Queens Borough Public Library – McGoldrick

Nice little library. Has good collection of books. Not a lot of foot traffic and much quieter (i know its a library) than the one on main st. If you live nearby its probably a good idea to check it out.

Only one thing stops McGoldrick from getting a fifth star: the hours. This location is closed on weekends and is only open past 6Pm on Monday and Thursday, which has meant that I only get to take my kids here when I’m on break, too (I teach, so I have the same breaks that they do).
But if you’re a parent looking for a cheap excursion that won’t leave you wanting to slice your own head off, McGoldrick is the anti-​Chuck E. Cheese. it is quiet, orderly, spacious, and clean. What more can you ask for?
Oh yeah! It has books and stuff to fill your child’s brain with knowledge and other positive thingees. And since it is a library, it is free. There are also a number of computers available (six I believe, in the children’s section. Another 8 – 9 for adults) so if you have a kid who prefers Minecraft to reading, they can do that, also (saw two boys doing just that on my last visit).
Just know that the parking area nearby is for the stores and *NOT* for the library, so if you drive, you will need to find street parking. If this applies to you, try finding spots off of Northern and in the neighborhood to avoid meters.
There’s also an IHOP across the street, so if you want add a kid-​friendly dining location to your outing, you don’t have to go far.

Love this library. it’s the opposite of the main Flushing library — small, clean and quiet and I love it! The place doesn’t have nearly the amount of the material the main Flushing library has but I will take quality over quantity any day! And the bathrooms are NO WHERE NEAR AS NASTY AS THE MAIN FLUSHING LIBRARY!

I love this Library. It has been renovated so that everything is digitized.
there are 10 computers for use and registration to use them are easy and hassle free. Just scan the card and wait your turn. You can print up to 10 pages per day. If you need more printed there’s an option to pay, but you can’t pay for it. I’ve spoken to the librarian who said you can only print only 10 pages.
They have about 4 self check out stations in the center of the Library which is a breeze to use. If you are unfamiliar, the librarian’s desk is right behind the checkout stations and they are friendly and courteous.
There is only 1 return center but it doesn’t take that long. They have a decent selection of DVDs and OK selection of music.
This is a small Library but seems to have all the essentials. They have a children’s area which is bright and is separated from the adult area. They have a tiny Teen room as well as a small classroom in the back. There is one computer dedicated as a catalog. They have a decent selection of books but not everything since it is very small. You can always order whatever book you want and they will notify you via email when it is ready to pick up so its not impossible to find /​have delivered what you are looking for.

just renovated a month ago with lots of books. sometimes it gets noisy in the afternoon but overall perfect

The newly renovated McGoldrick Library has pretty clean facilities and does not get overcrowded. It is conveniently located next to a strip mall, with food, coffee, supermarket, and drugstore. It is also across the street from an Autozone. The library has PCs to use on a 30min basis. Computers are separated between children and adults. When I had to reserve a PC I was reserved a PC in the children’s room. All the librarians are very friendly and helpful. They do have a color scanner available for public use at this location. Bathrooms are accessible by key, but the keys are usually hung outside the bathroom door. Only two spots available for laptop plugin next to the scanner. Free WiFi available at this location.
