The Murray Street branch of the New York Public Library reopened in July and got a bright and airy renovation by exposing the vaulted brick ceiling.
The New Amsterdam branch library, which closed in May 2018 for renovations, will be back open for in-person services along with the rest of the system.
Plus the Battery Park City Library is open for grab-and-go; it's the Year of the Ox; new year's activities at The China Institute.
The public library branch on Murray Street is nearing completion after two years, but the libraries in the neighborhood remain closed for the coronavirus. / 1 comment
Plus kids can learn to make comics at the BPC library; a lecture on Democratic Socialism; a capella at Tribeca PAC; a group show at Alexander and Bonin.
The New Amsterdam branch of the NYPL was inaugurated 30 years ago on May 3, with Ed Koch, local kids and the former president of France in attendance. / 4 comments
I was wondering if you've heard anything about the construction of NYPL New Amsterdam branch on Murray Street. It was targeted for reopening in late 2019. / 5 comments
