NYC Library

Uncategorized 1 Minute

My mother was a librarian. And yet I don’t read.

I have never been inside the walls of the NYC Library by Bryant Park even though I worked right around the corner for 5 years when living here . I have walked past the building more times than I can tell, up and down 5th Avenue. With new eyes I decided to go inside and take a look.

It is rumored that if you see the lions smile, then you are a virgin. Or something like that. Sort of like my college days of peeling off a beer bottle label without it tearing. Makes zero rational sense.
I had no idea the interior architecture would be so intricate. I really just wanted to use their bathroom to apply some lipstick before meeting my cad operator 🙂
Check out these ceilings!
The place was quiet as a library should be. Museum like details.
Trying to capture the magnitude of the interior.
There were many people with their laptops working in areas where it was roped off to tourism. A beautifully inspiring setting.
They checked our bags (remember I was carrying luggage at the time) upon entering and exiting. But basically security was a joke, just like everywhere. Mostly a show with minimal digging or care.

I'm just your average gal figuring out her way through the second half of life that decided to follow a calling to Thailand. Now back in the USA due to covid, seeking nature for further direction.
