The NYPL: Celebrating 100 Years

"This major exhibition of more than 250 thought-provoking items from NYPL’s vast collections celebrates how the Library has encouraged millions of individuals to gain access to a universe of information during the past 100 years. The first Gutenberg Bible acquired in the Americas is included, as are dance cards, dime novels, and John Coltrane’s handwritten score of Lover Man. Organized into four thematic sections—Observation, Contemplation, Society, and Creativity—the exhibition highlights the collections’ scope and their value as symbols of our collective memory."

An Early Memory




Once upon a time, it was from one of these houses that we left to go to a party in the Clara Barton School. It is indeed strange how some memories stick with me... and how I can still see the inside of that room filled with colorful balloons, hear the laughter, smell the sweet candy and cake, and so vividly remember the happy celebration inside that school on a day so long long ago.
