The New York Public Library.
Don't judge a book by its cover.
(Sponsored Email)

This fall, uncover the wonders of The New York Public Library. You may know about our world class collections or that we offer fun and interesting evening events, but did you know that Spider-Man has scaled the facade of our 42nd street location in all three of his movies or that our holdings contributed to the creation of the Xerox machine and the splitting of the atom? Our 42nd Street location, home to the popular LIVE series, has been called the "hot spot du jour of Manhattan nightlife" by The Washington Post and Gothamist has raved about our new extended hours.

This May, we opened the Mulberry Street Branch in SoHo - an event that made it onto Gawker's radar screen. Besides having an extensive collection of 32,655 books, DVDs, audio recordings, 28 public access computers, and wireless Internet access, the Mulberry Street Branch is a great place to hang out with friends!


Too busy (or lazy) to check out a book? No problem! Simply visit our online catalogue (accessible from any computer or location), choose the book you're looking for, and we'll have it delivered to the branch closest to your home or office from one of our 91 locations. But you'll need a library card for that! Sign-up online for a free card.
