Investing in libraries means that words will never fail us.

You don’t need to have a mother who is a librarian to know how important local library services are, but it helps!

My library was the only thing that helped me improve my english, allowing me to go from struggling over simple children's books in the beginning to reading Dicken's David Copperfield in a week. It was the only place I could escape to when I didn't know how to communicate in such a foreign land

Books I learn about through interviews in podcasts are usually available at Queens library and they continue to feed the curiosity that the interviewees spark ;)

The library is not only a source of books, but is a place I feel like I am truly connected to my community.

Libraries have opened hundreds of doors for me to information, excitement and information for the last 55 years or so, and I see no reason to stop using them now.

I don't live in the city anymore. But my husband and I used to study at the main NY Public about 25 years ago. We'd head downtown and spend hours in that great main hall across from each other with stacks of books in silence. I fell in love with that place. I fell in love with him.

My library offers a safe space for me to go and borrow books to learn more about different people, places, and times.

The Mulberry Street library is my favorite! Story time is just the best!

As part of its scholarly elegance, the main branch of the NYPL presents a tremendously inspiring conversation series, "An Art Book", with renowned artists, critics, curators, gallerists, historians and writers, celebrating the vital importance and beauty of art books!
