Library Showcase: Central

Known as "Central" the Syracuse downtown library is located in the Galleries.  Bu don't let the word downtown give you the wrong idea- this is no backstreet library!  State of the art computers, security, and sufficient staff will put you at ease.  Lots of comfy seating and wide selection of all types of books will have your kiddos asking when you're coming back to the library- when's the last time you heard that?

Parking:

• There are a number of public parking lots and garages, as well as street parking on most of the streets near the Central Library. 
• Use the Whoosh app to pay for parking, and add more money to your parking meter, all from the convenience of your phone. 
• For details about Whoosh and other parking information, please see the Downtown Committee's parking brochure. [PDF]
