I’m disabled but can just make it to my local branch, Hudson Park from my home. I’ve learned so much there between it and the hallowed halls of Jefferson Market, including birdwatching and keeping up to date with my computer skills. I ‘m quite without spare funds these days, so its wonderful to have a place to go go teach myself the myriad of subjects available or needed. I almost had a heart attack the first time I snuck over from NJ and saw the old Women’s House of Detention in the area that has now been replaced by the Garden. The previous tenants were still abiding there. What an eye opener at 12 years old coming from Weehawken, NJ.>
