Brooklyn Public Library - Walt Whitman Branch

I went here a few times for some programs and had good experiences here. They show movies downstairs in a small community room and restrooms are downstairs. Only one table to charge computers or cellphones. Usually a quiet place to work or study. It is a small local library so there are not a great selection of books that i like. However, you can order what you want in the bpl system and they will arrive here for pickup in a few days

It's conveniently located not too far from my house. They need to do a better job at handling the loud, disruptive, and disrespectful middle school and high school kids who come in. I used to come here regularly but now I don't because of that. They do always seem to have great events happening for them though.

Three kids were harassing a woman. The librarian was told and did nothing. Those three kids then went though my jacket, stole my wallet and again, the librarian saw and did nothing about it. In fact she handed me my coat without letting me know they were going through it. I could have called the police, but now I’m left without an ID and lost other irreplaceable items. I only figured out what happened about 2 weeks later because I had a tracker in my wallet. Not having an ID is actually extremely problematic for me. This library is unfortunately right in the middle of a rough area and it doesn’t seem like your belongings are safe, take it from me, go elsewhere. The librarians allow teenagers to be abusive to other guests and still consider them “regulars” (her words, not mine)

Very helpful and friendly staff. However, the atmosphere here is very loud as children are often there playing loudly with no regards to others.

I been here a couple of times so far and it's always been a pleasant experience. Not much of a variety but it is a small Library. The staff seems okay, Some more pleasant than others. Overall it's decent and have been quiet and peaceful
