Library Plaque

This is one of "my" libraries. I live equidistant between two branches of the New York Public Library. This 1906 branch is one of 65 that were built using funds from Andrew Carnegie.

These small branches don't have a lot of books on the premises but you can request a book from the NYPL system and it will be delivered to the branch of your choice.

This year the city allocated more funds to the libraries and now there are extended hours which make it easier to get in the door! My other local branch is even open on Sunday afternoons.

The Library

 

This is my neighborhood library, Muhlenberg. It opened in 1906. I like to borrow books from the library but they also lend DVDs and games as well as offer computers to use. Lately I'm noticing how much more the libraries offer. I'm lucky to live in an area with multiple choices of branches. Some of the other libraries are specialty libraries or research libraries.

 

They offer classes, special programs, lectures and performances. Most things are free. Some branches offer movies and children's programs. The classes are a huge variety of useful and interesting topics from money management, physics, history, computer programs to knitting and so much more.
