The New York Public Library: Its Architecture and Decoration | 
Every inch of this place is just gorgeous 😍
It‘s been a week. I don‘t think my waistline can handle another day of pie for breakfast but the stress is killing me and Costco pumpkin pies are pretty darn good. On the bright side I‘m loving my new NY public library mug my bestie in NY sent me for my birthday. A bright spot in a crazy week.
Miss the sounds of the library? The New York Public Library has put together an album of library sounds to help those who miss their library.

My sister came into the city yesterday for holiday shopping and sightseeing. Of course we stopped by the main branch of the library and it‘s gift shop. This is me in front of one of the NYPL lions, Fortitude, dressed in his winter holiday greenery.
With Amazon gone, Queens building owners may boot local library branch.
Wish the library the best of luck extending their lease.

Spent the day awe inspired by amazing architecture, intrigued by the ‘book train‘ and relaxed with a book in the reading rooms. I might just have exited through the gift shop too !
What‘s in your 2019 reading challenge?

I always find book sales and library checkout trends fascinating — the way they correlate to current events and culture.

The main New York Public #Library building from today's wet and chilly evening. 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I've always loved this building. 😍
Have you visited it?

I am now officially the proud owner of two library cards since my card for the New York Public Library arrived yesterday!!
I learned from Litsy that I was eligible to get one (thanks @PenguinInFlight !!)
So if you are a Litten anywhere in New York State, you can get one too!
It‘s here! It‘s here! #downloadallthethings
I learned today that resident of New York State can get a NY Public library card and get access to their online materials! I thought you had to live in the city. I applied for mine today, and it takes about a month to get in the mail. I‘m so excited! 🤗🎉This will add a TON of titles that I am able to access on Libby and Overdrive, as I am in a fairly rural area in upstate NY. #litsyloveslibraries #i❤️NY
Finally remembered to send my ID to get an NYPL card.. I realized their overdrive/Libby collection is waaaaay better than my local system. Hope it doesn‘t really take a whole month to come!
Finally got a library card in my new city! So excited to explore some of the beautiful libraries of NYC! I‘m lucky enough to live a 5 minute walk from one of the branches.
Fun fact: the lions outside of the main branch of the NYPL are named Patience and Fortitude.

A three and a half hour movie about the NY Public Library! I‘ve GOT to see this! Is anyone as excited as me?!?🤓
Second to last day here in NYC so you‘d know my book-loving family would tour the NYC library. Bottom right: the original Winnie the Pooh toys on display in the children‘s section of the library
Patience and Fortitude in front of the New York City Public Library. Fortitude was lounging in the shade, so he‘s a little harder to see.
Fun reading this article on the borrow records from the New York Society Library - this was Roald Dahl‘s borrowing record! https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/new-york-society-library-borrowing-records #lovelibraries
I meant to post this back on Jan. 11th, but work has been so hectic, I haven't been posting here or even scrolling through Litsy ?. However, I just found this when I was uploading pictures to my computer and wanted to share! This is from the New York Gallery Page-A-Day calendar.
"Nearly the size of a football field, the Rose Reading Room at the main branch of the NYPL is one of the city's largest interior spaces--but also one of the quietest."
Finally made it to the New York Public Library main branch! Such a gorgeous and majestic building, and the famed Reading Room made me happy just standing in it!

This photo doesn't do it justice. I could read in here everyday. 😍
Speaking of the New York Public Library, they had this awesome display up outside the bookstore.
I got to totally geek out this weekend and had a book tour of NYC. Rose reading room at the New York Public Library.
I often take the fact that I live in New York for granted, but passing the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building (this is the side entrance on 42nd Street just east of Bryant Park) of the New York Public Library usually makes me stop to catch my breath and appreciate how wonderful this city is. #NYPL
Are any of you listening to this podcast? It is exceptional!

I feel so lucky that I get to call #NYPL my #locallibrary. It might be a rainy day in New York, but the main branch still looks pretty majestic.

Visiting friends in NYC and my friend took me to the New York Public Library--it was gorgeous! I could have stayed for days.
A friend brought me these awesome NY library souvenirs. Such a handsome lion! Such a good quote from Neil! (Neil quote on back of pouch too😁)
Saw this fun tidbit in a Slate article today: there used to be apartments above the New York branch libraries, where custodians used to live! Who wishes that was their life? 🙋🏽
Last year I went to NY on vacations and on the last day I went to NYPL and completely fell in love with the map room 😍 #librarylove #septemberphotochallenge #somethingforsept #ilovemaps
The best part about changing jobs last year was when I realized the newest branch of the New York Public Library was opening NEXT DOOR to my new office. That was an awesome day. 😁 #somethingforsept #librarylove #septphotochallenge
I'm so lucky I get to call the #NYPL my library. Here's a picture of the branch I frequent most often: the St. Agnes branch on the Upper West Side. It gets bonus points for being one door down from one of my favorite bars, The Dead Poet. #librarylove #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge
Typically when I arrive at a library or bookstore, I don't stop and take pictures (I usually just run in and devour all the books 😂😂), so other than this snapshot, I don't have any photographs of either for the #somethingforsept challenge today. But, if your phone is going to have only ONE photograph of a library or bookstore on it, this is a pretty good place to have photographed. 📚
