Voted the prettiest building in New York for over a hundred years The Castle, as I always think of it, has a beautiful turret houses a spacious library of several rooms. Views up and down Sixth Ave. There is an outdoor balcony which they open to the public like twice a year or something. Next door is the beautiful Jefferson Garden a bastion of peace in the otherwise hectic West Village. The plants and ponds are carefully and tenderly cared for by a dedicated group of volunteers. Come and fall in love with this hidden gem of New York!

Love this place - historic building, great staff and best of all those fantastic daily handwritten quotes: everyone from Sigmund Freud to Zora Neale Hurston to Marcel Proust. Totally inspiring. Thank you!

Good library with peace and getaway from the hustle. I'm not sure about the collection. Good to work with your PC. Maintained well. It has a beautiful garden too.

Now this is a beautiful public library. The staff are friendly and helpful, too. It's easy to get work done here because most other people are doing the same. No one talking on the phone! Or to themselves! Miracle!

What a beautiful library! There is a lot of history with this building so search Google to learn more. Glad I stumbled upon it while visiting NYC.

Let's make this perfectly clear: you're not going to find the book, DVD or CD that you want at this library. Those are all reserved online and sent to the branch near you. The stuff on the shelves is interesting, but not interesting enough to take home. Jefferson Market is all about the building, from the clock tower to the spiral staircase and stained glass windows. Pop in next time you're in the neighborhood and think back to how life used to be. If you need a book, have somebody show you how to use the computer.

PLEASE NOTE: NO BATHROOM EXISTS HERE! Beautiful building, big open space with armchairs and long tables upstairs. Large selection of books. Free Wi-Fi too! But the no bathroom thing prevents me from giving 5 stars.

A lovely space. I got a lot of work done here.

I love this library. It's a beautiful old historic building. I love their spiral stair going to the second floor. It feels like inside a castle.

gorgeous library with a rich history, and open Sundays, but no bathrooms.

I've been coming here for many years and it's always a pleasure. The staff here is very polite and space is decent.

I LOv BC IT FREE n I CAN STUDY n THE LIBRARIANS AR RL NICE

Library that looks and feels like it’s a mini Hogwarts. Everything is well organized, lots of charm and space to read and in a great spot for a bite to eat after you find yourself in another book of an adventure!

Jefferson Market is one of my favorite libraries in the city. It`s a beautiful building in a beautiful neighborhood not far from Hudson River. Peace and quiet combined with gorgeous ambient makes it a perfect place to do some work or read.

Stunning, spacious and quiet. Conveniently located right outside the subway station and a short walk away from Washington Square Park.
