New York Public Library

We ended up spending some time at the New York Public Library while we were walking around New York.

Its a very iconic place, and you kind of know the place as soon as you see it.  Everyone knows about it's appearance in Ghostbusters.

There is a weird balancing act going on at the library constantly.  It is a working library...  and people are going in and out, reading, studying and looking for books.  There are also tourists and visitors walking in, taking pictures, and moving around.

The tourists seem respectful, and the people reading seem indifferent.  It works.

There is also a nice gift shop and souvenir kiosk selling library related items.  I did pick up some very nice postcards and stickers with the library lion logo on it.  The kind people working there thanked my for supporting the library.

The library has some amazing paintings on the walls too, and we saw several tours coming through for the artwork.
