Fifth Avenue - New York City (USA)

Fifth Avenue | New York Public Library 03/05/2015 12h22
One of the last attractions we did in Manhattan was passing along this side of the New York Public Library at Fifth Avenue. With the skyscrapers of Times Square and Bryant Park in the background (Bank of America Tower and the Grace Building).

New York Public Library
The Stephen A. Schwarzman Building of the New York Public Library, more widely known as the Main Branch or simply as "the New York Public Library," is the flagship building in the New York Public Library system and a prominent historic landmark in Midtown Manhattan. The branch, opened in 1911, is one of four research libraries in the library system. It currently contains area of 60,079 m2 and 4 stories open to public. It is located on Fifth Avenue at its intersection with 42nd Street.

The Library's famous Rose Main Reading Room (Room 315) is a majestic 24 by 91 m, with 16 m high ceilings. The room is lined with thousands of reference works on open shelves along the floor level and along the balcony, lit by massive windows and grand chandeliers, and furnished with sturdy wood tables, comfortable chairs, and brass lamps. It is also equipped with computers providing access to library collections and the Internet as well as docking facilities for laptops. Readers study books brought to them from the library's closed stacks. There are special rooms named for notable authors and scholars, many of whom have done important research and writing at the Library. But the Library has always been about more than scholars; during the Great Depression, many members of the general public, out of work, used the Library to improve their lot in life, as they still do.
