New York Public
Library
Fifth Avenue at 42nd Street
Manhattan

Guarded
by majestic stone lions named Patience
and Fortitude, this New York landmark
(said to epitomize the Beaux Art style)
makes millions of books and periodicals
available to New Yorkers and visitors
alike in its cathedral-like third floor
reading room. While you are on the third
floor, check out the Charles Addams
Gallery -- the marble corridor leading to
men's room where a rotating selection of
drawings (chosen from Library's
collection of 116 Addams works) are on
display. And note that although the
library continues to be a bastion of the
written word, it has also embraced modern
technology, as exemplified by its online
CATNYP directory (that is, the CATalog
of the New York Public
Library.)
