The most beautiful library on the East End, and the easiest to use: quiet study carrels under the dome, Wi-Fi that doesn't ask for a password, and a temporary card at the desk if you have a lease. Open past 7pm four nights a week.
Carnegie library, founded 1910. Domed main reading room, fully restored in 2016 after a multi-year capital campaign.
