So, I don't live in New York City and don't know if I ever will. But they have got arguably the coolest free public library ever. And it's a symbol to readers nationwide. What kid didn't love the library or the Bookmobile? Since newspapers are dying, libraries are one of the remaining vital strongholds of democracy - anybody, educate yourself, for free.
The administration of the New York Public Library is planning to shutdown as much as 20 percent of its properties, limiting access and getting rid of much of the architecture in the historic 1911 main branch facility (and about seven floors worth of books).
So, save NYPL! You can donate as little as $5 or fill out a form to send to your local congressperson (if you are a New York reader).
