Richmondtown Library

The Richmond Town Library is my local library and it is a gem of a place especially for young children. I started coming here regularly with my 2 1/2 year-old daughter this fall to further foster her love of reading and have her socialize with children her own age with the different FREE programs they offer . I would love to shout out the "little movers storytime" program for being so engaging and educational ! They theme each week with seasonal or educational appropriate topics that are super engaging and fun for little minds. They also mix in silly songs and chants that keep little bodies moving . As a teacher, I find this program age-appropriate and such a fun way to get your little ones used to routines and structure. They will end each session with a meaningful craft that ties in t

This our favorite Staten Island library location. It provides many fun activities for kids. Miss Amy is one of the nicest librarians we have ever met. The children’s area is always clean and is stocked with new book arrivals every time we are there.

There is one librarian at this location that is just one of the nastiest human beings I’ve ever encountered. There’s not a single day she does not have an attitude. Nice parking lot, rather go to great kills where it’s warm and welcoming

Personally enjoy coming here, sometimes it could be noisy so I would recommend bringing a noise canceling headphone and a sweater in the summer cause the ac is turntt.

Nice library. Quiet. Spacious. AC kept the place cool in the hot, humid weather. Parking lot makes for easy parking. BUT the staff were not at all welcoming. One young woman, especially, looked very bothered when I came in. They all seemed to want to avoid any eye contact. Not at all approachable to ask any questions. Normally I wouldn't care-- I don't go for people to be nice, but it was so blatantly obvious and bit surprising. I visit so many different libraries and the staff are always so nice and welcoming and wanting to be helpful. Such a nice library, too bad the people who work there aren't as pleasant.
