I have heard the local branch library described as "that strange building" by some passing tourists...and it is unusual for public libraries in NYC, which are usually neo-classical in design.It's very good for a small library, but is always overheated...understand it needs a new HVAC system which it is unlikely to get with all the budget cuts going on now...was looking first for works by Pico Iyer. Needed the librarian's help to put holds on them...
By the way, the whole NY Public Library has no books by Eric Tomb--(as I have been reminded, Eric's books are all in coloring book form and not liable to be found at libraries. If your bookstore doesn't have them, you can get them through AbeBooks). Meant to check on works by Deborah Eisenberg, which it more likely has, but forgot-- will look next time.
E T's books are all coloring-book format and unlikely to be a libraries.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughts on the Kips Bay Branch. We are in need of a new HVAC system which at this point is mote. Atleast, you don't have to work in here all day.
