I visit this place every time I'm in New York. The architecture, sweeping staircases, art, Gutenberg Bible, and Map Room are highlights. But the main reading room always seems to be closed when I go.
Must see in NY. I'm not usually the one to visit libraries but this one is worth it! Just wonder around and admire the architectural features and decorations in the various rooms
Beautiful architecture. A lot of tourists (just like me) in the public are but the study room are always quite and nice. Go there if you really want to have a productive weekend afternoon.
Such a glorious place to crank out your work. But the library's park is what makes coming here the complete package. especially in the summer when you can get your ping pong and chess on.
One of the beautiful building in the city to visit. Free of charge. If you have kids, don't miss their children library section in the basement. Take a copy of their monthly activity calendar.
Somehow, the 80 people together in a huge room of this Library manage how to keep the quietness of the whole building. It's an awesome place to do some work or simply chill out. A monument to books!
