I don’t know why nobody had thought of this before. Placing a used bookshop inside a library. It is is wonderful idea and i am glad someone had the common sense to do it.

The Book Cellar is located in the basement, or cellar, of the Webster Library. When i arrived there was already a good number of people milling around the shelves. The shop is rather compact but there was space to move around and inspect the shelves at my leisure. I found a selection of used title, including one I’d been looking for. I took my selection to the cash register, pad and was on my way.

I would highly recommend the Book Cellar to anyone who loves reading and loves a bargain.

This is a small plaza, but it is resplendent with the works of Sculptor Louise Nevelson. The artworks are astonishing, with lots of fine detail and fantastical designs.

Its a lovely place to stop and take in your surroundings and just soak in the atmosphere of Financial District and the artworks.
