Brooklyn Public Library - Paerdegat Branch

The librarians were very nice and quite helpful. A male librarian assisted me with printing research for my dissertation. Overheard their warm welcome to all the families who came in to get a library card. The library became quite loud around 4 pm. Even the security guard spoke quite loud. No one directed anyone to lower their voices.

As a former longtime visitor to the Paedergat Library, I am extremely disappointed with my recent experiences. The noise level inside is unbearable. It is impossible to concentrate with groups of people talking loudly, laughing, and even reciting drill rap lyrics in various parts of the library. The staff are rarely able to control the situation, allowing the noise to persist for hours. It's frustrating to visit a place that is supposed to be quiet and conducive to studying or reading, only to find it's more like a chaotic social gathering. And there's always an issue with people smoking weed in the bathroom. To make matters worse, I witnessed an incredibly disturbing incident during my visit. Several weeks ago, a woman was seen physically attacking a young man by punching and biting him

Today, at about 4:pm a woman and a young boy came into the library having a loud conversation with no regard for the users of the library. The two library staff made no attempt to quiet the two people. So I had to go up to the counter to ask the library staff to speak to these people. One library staff member said that I should not complain about the disturbing noise. This is a regular feature of this library. So if you need to work here in peace don't come here. The staff tolerate loud people. They are always afraid to get them to be quiet.

Computers weren't too clean. Very unpleasant to sit with low lifes on the same table. Could be much better in that part. But the staff there are amazing!

I was at this library today and a lady name Allison was at the desk she was not helpful at all very rude and loud had no knowledge of how to do resumes, so I got on the computers and help myself I was almost don't with my resume and my time on the computer was running out I asked her for five more minutes she said no. I told her it was for a very important job she still answered very disrespectful and said no. Well of course my time ran I out and all my hard work disappeared, she didn't apologize and seem to have not cared at all. She then rolled her eyes at me and sat back down at her chair. She is very loud in the library very unprofessional and only helps who she wants to help. Im gonna make it my business to report her to the cooperate bosses of this library. I don't think she deserve
