Everyone knows that New York maintains one of the great library
systems in the world - the two lions that guard the 42nd street
library among the most important icons in the city. Less well known
are a host of specialty libraries that have grown up around the
rich intellectual and cultural life of New York City. There are a
number of libraries that serve genealogical researchers, but also
libraries catering to Spanish, German, French and Russian speakers.
There is a library of books about dogs and one that is based on the
work of Carl Jung. A library in Staten Island checks out tools to
homeowners rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy. Fifty Specialty
Libraries of New York City will be a tour of highly specialized but
publicly accessible libraries in Manhattan and the Outer Boroughs.
In each case, access is described, and an interview with the
director or supervisor is presented. This book is a unique
information source for all those librarians and researchers
interested in the rich cultural heritage of New York's libraries.
