  It is a great place to study, read, write, attend classes, exhibitions , learn something new. I also like that this particular library specializes in arts and performing arts. This Summer when I went to NYC, I took my sister that teaches the history of dance in Argentina, and she liked the selection of books. As usual, when in NYC, I will come back to visit one of my favorite libraries.

  I really appreciate the NYPL. Living in nyc, I do not have enough space to buy books. It has extremely great staff and books. They even have a special library card. I support 120%. Hope they get the support for what they need.
