A beautiful space with great readings, a diverse library, and a bookstore with plenty of discounts! As a member, I get to use their writers’ studio on the 8th floor which is quiet and peaceful. The reading room on the 2nd floor is very comfortable and just an amazing space. Staff is great and events are interesting and varied. Perfect for readers and writers of fiction :)

This place is seriously the absolute best. I only went to the bookstore section so I can’t attest to the library, but it was a magical experience nonetheless. I was especially impressed when I asked the clerk if he had any recommendations and he went out of his way to find me something.
Also…they have a ton of free books. FREE BOOKS. They have an entire section of free books. Doesn’t get much better than that.

The Center for Fiction has an EXCELLENT lending library and well worth the membership despite New York being filled with incredible libraries. There is enough cozy space to find a corner and relax with a good book. The new books were featured and there were staff picks. I loved walking through the old school stacks. I could spend hours in there. I also love the bookstore and I have gone to different events. There is enough to interest the more casual reader/​fan and the hardcore reader who wants to delve in Proust or get into some writing workshops. This place is truly a gem and I miss being able to go there.

Lovely Literary Collection + Good Reading Suggestions
Cozy Intimate, Fantastic Lending Library
I could hear the voice of someone lecturing in the back room as I perused the store looking at books. Classes, workshops, literary discussion groups. Something about The Center For Fiction felt magical.
The lending library seemed to have a robust list of fantastic titles, and the librarian I spoke with seemed quite knowledgeable. Definitely worth paying their membership fees to have access to the entire facility.
Would recommend to friends.

Hob Nob Potential: 2 (8 if you attend a workshop)
Strong Suggestion: If you like reading, stop on by! Make sure you have enough time to take it all in.

So my first time here was oddly for a Literature Concert Series with the first ever concert program opening on the theme of Clockwork Orange!
It is such a shame that this place is in midtown land of offices. It’s barely noticeable, particularly if you don’t even know about it. It is quite cozy though. The first floor is full of books and things. Perfect for browsing, may be even some nontraditional souvenir gifts.
The second floor is an open space that I am guessing is rentable for special occasions. This is where the concert took place. There is a grand piano. Room for an audience. Another space for the after concert snacks and wine. It was the old wooden squeaky floors. A bust of someone or other, and shelves of books around.
Perfect!
Would love to come back here again for at least the next concert program (1Q84)!

You can still step in and use their bookstore etc regardless of your member status. Yet you can also opt for a membership in order to be granted to their entire facilities for $ 125 annually. (You can divide the fee into monthly payment of $ 11 per a month, if you prefer.)
They have the library of seemingly a good range for the limited space in the midtown. Also they are vigorously provide events such as authors’ appearance and reading and interaction with their fans.
It feels like oasis in the bustling location. The only regret is that I am neither interested in nor familiar with the genre of ‘detective novel’, which this organization is dedicated for. Nonetheless, you can fully benefit what this precious place in the city offers.

A secret gem in the middle of Midtown.
A well-​curated, inexpensive used bookstore. An extensive, incredible lending library. Intelligent, fun, thoughtful events. And a gorgeous, quiet space. I love it.

There’s something about the atmosphere at The Center for Fiction that reminds me of a Charles Dickens novel — dark wood, a library of delicious books and a delightful staff. Whenever I’m yearning for a new book to read Brenda, the head librarian, always has a good suggestion. She hasn’t yet suggested a book I didn’t like.
They also have used books at very reasonable prices starting at $ 2, holiday cards for the literary loved ones in your life and classic Steinbeck martini glasses!
I currently live in LA and wish that there was an equally lovely private literary library here.

If you’re a reader or writer of fiction, you need to check out the Center for Fiction. They offer great literary events, a deeply discounted bookstore and a serious fiction/​non-​fiction lending library for members.
I was there last week for the first time, attending a reading by Dylan Landis and Beverly Beverly Gologorsky. Amazing writers. Great venue. And I was able to pick up books by the featured writers for 30% off. Sweet!
I can’t wait to go back and really browse the bookstore — I’m sure I’ll get into lots of trouble.
