The 1888 building, which we still occupy though it is expanded and renovated, had &quot;an alcove ... filled with juvenile books&quot; by 1897. The need for a separate children&#39;s room was formally addressed in 1911 with the appointment of a children&#39;s librarian. By 1915 the library had it&#39;s Children&#39;s Room.

According to HM Lydenberg&#39;s History of the New York Public Library (1923) Melvil Dewey wrote the NYFCL on behalf of the Children&#39;s Library Association in January 1888 asking that a children&#39;s room be provided on the third floor in the newly-opened George Bruce Branch. The NYFCL agreed, and the CLA provided the books and the librarian. The experiment apparently didn&#39;t extend beyond December 1888. NYPL absorbed the NYFCL in 1901 to create NYPL&#39;s Circulation Department and NYPL&#39;s children&#39;s work officially began in 1906 under Anne Carroll Moore.Bob Sinknoreply@blogger.com
