		The New York Public Library (NYPL), one of three public library systems serving New York City, is one of the leading libraries in the United States.
		The library consolidated with The New York Free Circulating Library in February, 1901, and Andrew Carnegie donated $5.2 million to construct branch libraries, with the proviso that the City of New York fund their maintenance and operations.
		The main Research Library (now known as the Humanities and Social Science Library) was built on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan between 40th and 42nd Streets on the former site of the Croton Resevoir, and was dedicated on May 23, 1911, opening the next day.

	NYC PLs Fear Effect of More Cuts - March 31, 2003 - Library Journal
		Library directors and union leaders testified last week before the City Council, which is considering 6.5% in cuts, more than half of that percentage linked to labor concessions requested by Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
		BPL has already cut hours 16% and materials nearly 25%; further reductions would cut programs and staff and possibly eliminate seven-day service at the Central Library for the first time in over a decade.
		Ray Markey of the New York Public Library Guild emphasized that the NYPL had concentrated its staff reductions in the branch libraries, not the parallel research library system, which is mainly funded privately.

	THE BROOKLYN RAIL - ART
		With the aid of a NEA New Public Works Grant, the BPL attracted some of the most innovative national and international architectural firms to submit design proposals, with Norten’s design winning over South Carolina’s Huff and Gooden Architects, among several other renowned firms in the running.
		Much of that work has been notably public: workers’ housing, schools, parks, museums, and workers’ dining halls are just a short list of the projects (some unbuilt) TEN has worked on in the last 16 years.
		Given the BPL’s primary criterion for a successful VPA design— “reinforcing urban interconnections…and dissolving distinctions between interior and exterior spaces”— Norten’s plan should be considered a success.
