A entrada para a Biblioteca pública de Nova York é gratuita. A arquitetura do prédio é linda, muito bem cuidado e cheio de história. Vale muito a pena tirar um tempinho para visitá-la

Fantastic library open to the public. Great exhibition and a very good shop

saw some blonde kid wearing red converse stumble in here clutching his side and holding a letter. not sure what that was about. hope he had a nice dream

amazing and beautiful space to study or do some computer works in the middle of nyc! the architecture is so beautiful like the old aged building style in England

Impressive library! Interesting even for kids

Free

Excellent!

Edificio precioso. Merece una visita en verano, que fue cuando estuve allí y se estaba genial, o en cualquier otra época del año. Se puede entrar en el bar-tienda, tomar algo, comprar un libro de recuerdo u otro souvenir original. También se puede acceder a las exposiciones que tengan en cada momento. Algunos espacios son verdaderas joyas de arte. Recomendable 100%.

Beautiful place and perfect for getting yourself into the right headspace for working. A calm, inspiring atmosphere that helps you focus and be productive.
