Community Services/Non-Profits
The Central Library of Rochester & Monroe County, located at 115 South Avenue in downtown Rochester, consists of two buildings: the historic Rundel Memorial Library and the modern Bausch & Lomb Public Library Building. It serves as the main library for the Monroe County Library System and the Rochester Public Library, offering residents a large collection of books, magazines, music, movies, and more, in both print and electronic formats. The library provides quiet study spaces, public meeting rooms, and hosts various free programs and community events. Visitors appreciate the helpful staff, the wide range of accommodations, and the large collection, including a gaming lab for teens. The library also features a café with affordable meals and a connection between buildings via an underground passageway. While generally praised, some note a lack of communication about certain hours, such as late openings, which could be improved. Overall, it is a welcoming and authentic place for learning, leisure, and community engagement.
