I spent a fortnight in New York last month and decided to go for a stroll in the New York Public Library in Fifth Avenue at Bryant Park.
Below are a few photos of the Rose Main Reading Room.
If visiting New York, I would recommend that you pay a visit. It won't hurt your pocket. There are also displays and even a theatrette that screens a film documenting its history.
I also took some photos of its entrance as seen from Fifth Avenue.
