About the author
Founded in 1895, The New York Public Library grew out of the consolidation of the Astor and Lenox libraries with the Tilden Trust. Today it describes its mission as inspiring lifelong learning, advancing knowledge, and strengthening communities.
NYPL is one of the largest public library systems in the United States. Its network includes neighborhood branches as well as major research centers, and its collections, public programs, and digital resources are used by millions of people each year.
Best known around the world for its main building on Fifth Avenue and its iconic stone lions, the library is also a working public institution built around everyday access: borrowing books and audiobooks, using archives and reading rooms, attending classes and events, and finding welcoming spaces to learn and explore.
