Rose reading room at the NYPL: best room in America (maybe the world) to work / do research. Back after such a long time and it was heaven.

After a medical visit I was in midtown and decided to stop by New York Public Library.
They are now doing this Polonsky Treasures Exhibition
https://www.nypl.org/spotlight/treasures
I didn't have the luxury of perusing every item but was happy to meet the real Winnie the Pooh and his friends!!
They also had the desk & chair of Charles Dickens and other rare & cool things. I plan to return when I have more time.
It's a free exhibition.

Beaverland is the NYPL Book of the Day. (H/T spouse). I would not have known as I don't go on twitter.
"In 'Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America' by @theleilaphilip
, Philip follows fur trappers, traders, auctioneers, wildlife managers, PETA activists, Native American environmental vigilantes, scientists, and engineers."

Just discovered the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, tucked in among the performance spaces of Lincoln Center.
Tomorrow's the last day of a great exhibition there on Lou Reed, with recordings, memorabilia, interviews etc. from his archive: https://www.nypl.org/events/exhibitions/lou-reed

I couldn’t find a complete set download button on the NYPL collection browser for this one book so I just used my old simple script to get all the images in one go. So amazing this resource. NYPL rules.

I found a cool old NYC apartment building catalog from 1910 that includes the Belnord from Only Murders in the Building, but I can't find a way to download the entire catalog. Does anyone know if there's a way to do this?

Is there a network where those of us outside of #Florida can offer Zoom classes in #AfricanAmericanStudies and similar fields to do an end run around around #rondesantis and his Fascist #AntiWoke laws? And if it doesn’t exist, could such a network be built? #education #EducationIsARight

The New York Public Library was (is?) always proud to exhibit their Waste Land ms. edited by Ezra Pound. I saw it exhibited several times.
