About

New Amsterdam Library is a public library on the ground floor of an office building near City Hall in Lower Manhattan. It's a quiet, compact space with a calm atmosphere suitable for focus and work. The library is clean and bright, with artwork throughout. Reviewers appreciate its functional layout and community feel, though seating is limited. One reviewer noted bathrooms require a key and are poorly maintained.

The library has a computer area with six outlets available. Wi-Fi is present. Seating near plugs is scarce, and chairs at the computer stations are reportedly uncomfortable. Access to some areas may be restricted; one visitor was asked not to use the children's section without a child. The library is open weekdays until 7 PM (5 PM Friday) and Saturdays until 5 PM, and is wheelchair accessible.
