The lesser known but very nice alternative is SIBL: Which has nice workspace in its lower level reading room. This is more quiet like a university, and not like a hip/trendy etc. But they also have photocopy, print, and research materials if you should need some.
NYPL: Science, Industry and Business Library (SIBL)
188 Madison Avenue @ 34th Street
(917) 275-6975

A good choice however you are not allowed to consume your own food/water/coffee there. So if you have something you need to do in two hours or less with no breaks, then this is a great place.

That's the library where Carl Sagan recorded a segment for Cosmos right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E0yzMgqOUg

How loud is it there? The stone walls and tile floors make me think it's very live, acoustically speaking. Are people quiet enough that it's not a problem?

I've been there many times, it's quiet as a tomb in there. Definitely one of the best places to go to for some peace, quiet, and amazing architecture.
(edit): Looks like it's nearly unanimous. Here's a picture for folks who haven't been there: http://nycpano.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/rose-reading-room...
