Friends Bus Trip to NYC – December 7, 2024
Forty-five friends enjoyed a day in NYS which included a tour of the NY Public Library on 42nd Street and several people took advantage of the opportunity to get a card for New York Public Library. Every New York State resident is eligible. You can apply online at NYPL.org or in person at any of the library branches across the boroughs of Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island. All the library’s online resources and databases will be available to you. Give yourself the gift of a library card!
We also went on a tour of the Morgan Library, featuring a special exhibit about the personal librarian, Belle da Costa Greene. Two quotes from the exhibit that resonated for librarians: Belle was a fashion plate. From her: “I might be a librarian but I don’t need to dress like one”. And—a reference to her salary when she was appointed director in 1924–the princely sum of $12,500 per year. 100 years ago! A fortune in today’s dollars.
