Library in the park
I just returned from my summer vacation, a few days of which I got to spend in New York City. While resting my poor, tired feet in Bryant Park, I caught sight of the "Reading Room":
I didn't go over for a closer look (my feet hurt too much from wandering all over midtown Manhattan), but I did resolve to learn a little bit more about this unusual park feature when I got home.
According to the Bryant Park website, the Reading Room was begun during the Great Depression to provide reading materials to those without, perhaps, library cards or home addresses. It's been revived in recent years. What a cool place to find a library!
