New York Public Library
New York Public Library - this is a space that is completely different from the bustling downtown New York, it feels like entering another world. It is a place full of ambition, a place where immigrants and children seek knowledge, information and spiritual comfort.
Writer Calvin Trillin called the New York Public Library "the most egalitarian place among New York's great cultural institutions, no tickets needed, no membership required; it is also the highest level place, anyone entering and leaving the library can feel they have the same qualifications as Harvard University students."
In front of the library information desk, volunteers guide the endless stream of visitors, and the flow of people is constant all day. The main reading room in the library is one of the largest column-free rooms in the world today. When it was first designed, the first librarian, John Shaw Billings, requested that the reading room be set on the highest floor, so that it could take natural light and be far away from the noise of the street. Today, some of the rooms in the library still maintain the layout when they opened. Readers still use heavy wooden tables, with Tiffany-designed table lamps on them.
The New York Public Library is the largest municipal public library in the United States, consisting of the main library and 85 branches, with a collection of books, periodicals, manuscripts, maps, pictures, including the earliest versions of British and American literary masterpieces, precious ancient books and materials, etc.
It's very worth a visit, to feel this majestic and heavy momentum.

New York Public Library is free to all, it is best known is the top floor of the large reading room, but there is a tour, the use of the need to make an appointment, the first floor has a library souvenir shop, selling many library related books, is a popular place.
The facade is still very good, there are some exhibitions inside
New York Public Library, a beautiful library. The entrance is on Fifth Avenue, next to Bryant Park. Inspection kits are required for admission and exit. Bags are allowed, but large luggage is not allowed. Every reading room is so beautiful. It must be in a good mood to study here. People who study in the reading room are used to taking pictures of tourists coming and going. It has also appeared in many American movies and TV productions. Many scenes in the disaster film "the day after tomorrow" happen here. The protagonist relies on burning books here to warm himself up against the catastrophic cold current. The first wedding of Kelly, the protagonist of Sex and the City, was also held here. Travel to New York, you might as well look here and find that, oh, the original library can also be so beautiful.
The public library on Fifth Avenue is really elegant. Let's go in and see the documentary about the library. It's very good. It should be very happy to sit here and read books, but now there are many visitors.
