THE LIBRARY IS OPEN ONLINE! Our physical space and collections remain inaccessible. Library resources and services are available online.
Access to many libraries — in NYC and around the world — continues to be curtailed because of the coronavirus. Before planning a visit to another library, including any library in the SHARES and/or METRO programs, check to make sure it is open to visitors.
NYPL’s ebook collection supplements ours, and NYPL also offers grab-and-go services for its circulating collection. MaRLI procedures and services are being finalized and will be announced soon.
Unsure what’s available to you? Ask us for help.
