amazing array of documentation, this is one of the first landmarks that spring to mind when thinking of New York museums. The
building has stood since 1897 and began to alow public access in 1911. At the library's entrance, you will see two statues, lions with
the names Patience and Fortitide. These lions are now very much assciated with libraries in general. The library now even has a website
