This library boasts a large collection of art-related books, but my experience was marred by the extremely unfriendly and dismissive attitude of the receptionist. When I approached her with questions about finding a book, she was impatient and condescending. She gave me a nasty look and emphasized that the library is not a “co-working space,” implying I was not there to read. This felt incredibly rude and unwelcoming, especially since I was genuinely trying to locate a book to read. My attire, which included work clothes, should not have prompted such judgment. I would not recommend this place to others, as the staff’s cliquey and unwelcoming demeanor makes outsiders feel uncomfortable.
