What Students Say

lincoln center is my favorite place in nyc since i’ve lived here for a decade and i only recently and finally stumbled upon the gem of this library! it is so clean, quiet and nicely designed. there are quiet areas to read and relax. there is also an amy’s bread cafe in the back of the first floor if you’d like a snack. and they often have very thoughtfully curated free exhibitions going on also! my favorite NYPL i’ve been to so far. hope it continues to be this clean and awesome!!

I hadn't been here in years, but the Hal Prince exhibit drew me in and now that I've gone back, I plan to try to stop by every trip to see what exhibit is there. It's a bummer the archives are only available to students and reporters, since it would be so amazing to check out some of the recordings of shows we'll never be able to see, but the special exhibits are very well done and we're in Lincoln Center almost every trip, so this will be one of our normal stops now.

Calm, peaceful, welcoming library with helpful staff and rotating thematic art exhibitions that are worthwhile to check out. The exhibitions are related to the library’s raison d’être—the performing arts. I’ve seen one of Al Hirschfeld’s drawings (caricatures), one on Rodgers and Hammerstein and their musicals, and will be going back for more. Also : the stacks of DVDs (what a film selection !) and CDs, if you have a player.

This is by far my favorite place in NYC to go to to get work done! Huge wooden desk, plenty of outlets, clean and quiet environment, fast-free reliable wifi connection…It has all the essentials for an A+++ spot to study for test prep or work on your laptop. I wish it was open earlier and closed later weekly.
