The main branch of the New York Public Library, the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building, is a breathtaking marble structure that boasts approximately fifteen million items, ranging from medieval manuscripts to comic books to a vast collection of children’s books. The library is focused on offering free access to resources and visitors are welcome to explore its halls and grab a book to read. The library is just as beautiful inside as outside, and you will find many people inside reading and studying in the calming halls.
