marc520: "Handbook of The New York Public Library" by New York Public Library is a reference guide published in the early 20th century, specifically in 1916. The book serves as an informative resource detailing the Central Building and various services offered by the New York Public Library, which is a major public institution devoted to the advancement of knowledge and education. The handbook covers the architectural features, historical origins, and organizational structure of the library, making it a comprehensive overview of this significant cultural landmark. The content of the handbook provides insight into the layout and facilities of the Central Building, describing specific rooms dedicated to diverse subjects such as Technology, American History, and Music. It outlines the services available, ranging from the circulation of books to specialized divisions for different communities, including resources for the blind. Additionally, the book offers a historical perspective on the library's consolidation from previous institutions such as the Astor and Lenox libraries, along with the impact of benefactors like Andrew Carnegie. Overall, this handbook functions as both a practical guide for visitors and a historical account of one of New York City's most important cultural institutions.
