Really encouraging to read of an institution that has remembered what it's there for and fought for it and been successful. Especially interesting is the breadth and political independence of the collections and the obvious passion for serving the people and democracy. Loved it!

This is the first fully illustrated, popular history of one of the great knowledge institutions of the world. The New York Public Library comprises simultaneously a set of scholarly research collections that rank with those of the British Library, the Library of Congress, and the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, as well as a network of community libraries with vast popular neighbourhood collections - and all of its resources are open to all comers, a degree of access perhaps unique in the world. How it came to be, how it grew and developed its unique character, and how it came to be a refuge and essential resource for generations of New Yorkers and scholars from around the world are some of the pieces of the fascinating story told here.
