Main Public Library

The New York Public Library system has one of the largest collections of books in the world. The Main Branch, opened in 1911, is actually called the Humanities and Social Science Library, a research library with no circulating books. Large murals depict a history of the written word. The Rose Reading Room, almost 300 feet long is filled with tables, lamps and chairs for comfortable research.
