Municipal Library

The library occupies a magnificent neoclassical-style building whose entrance is presided over by two marble lions. At the entrance, which is free, you will be provided with a map with the different rooms of the library. Do not miss the following: - The impressive Astor Hall, which is the entrance to the library from Fifth Avenue, whose walls, ceilings and stairs are made of white marble. From Witt Wallace Periodical Room, where you will find press from all over the world. - The beautiful McGraw Rotunda, where its Corinthian columns and the vaulted ceiling paintings stand out, which represent the history of writing and are the work of Edward Lining. - The mapping collection, which houses thousands of old maps. - The Rose Main Reading Room, the main reading room, which will certainly sound like seeing her in the movies. It is a living room decorated with strenuous hanging lamps and old oak tables where we can sit down and look at some copy to connect our laptops, as the library offers free internet access. .
