About this place RUSA LGBT - Russian-Speaking American LGBT Association

RUSA LGBT is a volunteer network for Russian-speaking LGBTQ+ immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers in the US, along with their friends and families. It was founded in 2008 and draws people from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and other former Soviet countries. It offers peer support, social meetups and help with immigration and asylum questions. It isn't a drop-in venue. The address on file is the former Mid-Manhattan Library at 455 Fifth Avenue, where meetings have been held. The hours and Google rating shown belong to the library, not the group. Check rusalgbt.com for current meetings.

It's an excellent place to study and read. I used to meet there once a week for conversation classes and practice, where people from various parts of the world came together with some teachers and students who was lerning English.

The fact that admission is free alone makes it worth a visit. You can explore many rooms on different floors.

Very pretty. It's just a shame that the most iconic spaces are restricted.

I have always loved going here since I lived in NYC for almost 10 years. I know their library staff is very nice and helpful. One thing that happened to me ruined my impression of this place. When I returned the research book I borrowed earlier to them today, I’m not sure if it was security or whatever position staff are in the Rose reading room. She questioned me, and her attitude made it sound like I was the thief trying to steal books. Saying she doesn’t know how I borrowed the book before, without specifying what label was on the book, and said she wouldn’t let me leave if I didn’t have that label. But today I’m just returning the book, and that’s all. NYPL, you should do better to train your staff on how to speak with visitors. Sad to say, I’ll never return to this place from now on, knowing how I was treated today.
