Queens Public Library at Hollis

While the Hollis Hillside branch is undergoing renovations I appreciate the mobile library in its place to bring the DVDs I ordered.

This is your friendly neighborhood library. Quiet and clean with helpful staff

It's not the greatest neighborhood library but it's been consistently decent for a long time. There are worse ways to spend an hour or two. Well equipped & well-staffed.

The bathrooms are clean. There are no outlets at the table to charge your electronic devices. It's loud at times with the children's room right there and a presentation room. Librarians are always having loud, personal conversations. Don't come here to study/read. One thing that disappointed me was that the black librarian was helping out a South Asian lady and she said 'thank you' to him. He did not reply back 'you're welcome'. Then a white man came in and thanked him for something and this same black employee replied back 'you're welcome'. Little things like that show a person's true colors. Why always come to work in Asian neighborhoods if you see us as lesser? The patrons can be odd, but it's a public library. Just know you might encounter some aggressive homeless people who come the

The workers are very loud. They talk about their business out loud. Laughing out loud. Have no respect for those that are studying. They are helpful. But very loud. They don’t ask people to turn down their phones. They let everyone that comes in to talk on their phones. They don’t stop anyone. The library in Merrick Blvd is much more quieter and respectful.
