A large library inside Central Park with its own children's wing and a story-time theatre. One of the most reliable wet-weather options in the city, and free.

I really like the library here — its design is unique, very modern with a touch of old charm. For anyone who enjoys learning or wants a quiet place, the library is the perfect spot. I saw some seniors sitting by the window, just relaxing and enjoying the view — it felt so calming. The staircase is built in a spiral shape, with a water feature both inside and outside. The library also has a separate area for children to play and learn. Next to it is a gift shop where they sell ocean‑themed items like seashells, starfish, and cute handmade bags. I was impressed because they even have a statue from China’s Qin Shi Huang displayed there.

Really neat library. Good, large size. They have a bookstore as well. The main attraction is the four large column fountains right when you walk in.
