Description

The Pelham Bay Branch of The New York Public Library opened in 1976 with the fervent support of community leaders who fought to see it become a reality.

The branch is a spacious brick building located on the corner of Middletown Road and Jarvis Avenue. It serves a predominantly Italian and Irish community in the Pelham Bay and Country Club sections of the Bronx. Fully accessible to persons who use wheelchairs, the one-story facility houses adult, young adult, children's, and reference collections. A meeting room is available for community group meetings as well as library programs.

Wonderful library! They have plenty of computers to use and they only charge $0.20 per sheet that you wish to print. Please note, they do not have a fax machine for public use
Staff no friendly and moody. Plenty of computers and laptops. On Summer time is nice and quiet, but school time is awful. Once the new lady manager screamed at the ps71 kids in front of everybody in the library. I felt very disrespected. She can’t control herself, can’t expect kids to behave. For story time Miss Ferrer did an awesome job, she was energetic, friendly and kids loved her, unfortunately she left. Library is clean.
Clean and quiet with helpful staff. Wish they had more charging stations, Would have given 5 stars
There is a quiet room however your “not allowed to close the door” ... then what’s the point of a QUIET room? The quiet room is right by the front and can hear and see everyone walking in making it a HUGE distraction for those that need to study. Unacceptable. This place is awful. It’s loud, dirty, and the homeless walk in and cause a ruckus by talking and moving around Non stop. The front desk people are even loud themselves.
Staff is friendly, library is spacious, comfortable and has great selection of books. Most importantly it is quiet as a library should be. They have a GREAT display celebrating the library's 125 th anniversary!
Although a very nice library in the day This library is like going into the feeding den at the Bronx zoo There are elementary and middle school kids who come to hang out. They have no respect for the security guard nor the people who actually come to study The staff just sit there like they are afraid of these kids. They need a police officer or two in here Or just open up romps a room in here. What a disgrace
The library became poorly managed under the new interim manager Nanor Pogosian. The Wednesday’s story-time was canceled three times a month!!! That is three out of four.The story-time was always on time before, but no more. Manor Pogosian herself is a very cold person. You would see no smile on her face. She is very mean and unprofessional. Sometimes I wonder if she hates peoplebecause she is so unfriendly and bad-tempered. This library was very welcoming beforebut now you can only experience unpleasant and unwelcoming atmosphere. I will hesitate to go to this library. Howeverit was our favorite place to go in the area for the past few years before those good staffs left.So sad!!! Library plays a very important role in a communitybut those unprofessional and unqualified people like Miss Manor Pogosian make it a disasterWhen can they have a new and good manager with better management and better service
This location is quiet, clean, and staff are very friendly and quite courteous. The selection a bit sparse but for small location It's well-stocked you can also request any books that you want at the front desk.
It's hardly ever crowded you can always have access to the computer
Aside from all the screaming inside and the 50 people outside loitering, and no books, no where to sit...I guess it's a good library??
