NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARYTomorrow afternoon, the trustees of the New York Public Library will meet at the library's central branch, whose fate is in the middle of a pressing preservation battle. As per a press release sent out by SaveNYPL.org in anticipation of tomorrow's meeting,
The New York Public Library administration plans to demolish the 42nd Street Library's historic seven-story book stacks, install a circulating library in their place, and send 1.5 million books to storage in central New Jersey. The new circulating library would replace the Mid-Manhattan Library and the Science, Industry and Business Library (at 34th and Madison), despite being less than one-third the size of the two existing libraries. Community members advocating for the "saving" of NYPL will rally between 5 and 6 p.m. tomorrow at the library's Fifth Avenue entrance. [CurbedWire inbox; previously]
