A useful first stop

The NYPL Visitor Center, in room 115, introduces the building and its collections. Library staff can explain exhibitions, tours and research services. Some rooms are reserved for quiet study or research; others may require appointments. This is a research-library location, rather than a general branch for borrowing books to take home.

Accessible arrival

NYPL identifies 10 West 42nd Street as a ramp-access entrance. Consult the library’s current visitor information before travelling; schedules and access arrangements can change.
