Recently renovated, the library is beautiful and the catalog of performing arts video is very impressive. Large selection of French movies as well.

Easily my favorite NYPL branch in NYC! I just like spending my time here studying and can't wait to go back once againn!

The Frank Sinatra exhibit with free movies on the big screen + Enormous vinyl collection (controlled by "Elves" in a different room, or maybe even a different building!).

This library is right beside the Lincoln center and the Julliard School. Inside has a bunch of musical research resources, including music literature in the first floor and music score in the second one.

This is my favorite branch of NYPL. The staff is so friendly. Today there were plenty of computers empty so I could do a bit of work. Also I found an Opera score & libretto that I needed. Shelves are very organized & labeled. Great place to do performing arts research.

Wonderful Public Library. They have a wonderful
Exhibit about broadway and shows. They have costumes and stage exhibits. The library has tons of DVDs CDs and books too. But this current exhibit was nicely organized and put together! For fans of broadway this is a MUST see!

I hadn't been here in years, but the Hal Prince exhibit drew me in and now that I've gone back, I plan to try to stop by every trip to see what exhibit is there. It's a bummer the archives are only available to students and reporters, since it would be so amazing to check out some of the recordings of shows we'll never be able to see, but the special exhibits are very well done and we're in Lincoln Center almost every trip, so this will be one of our normal stops now.

This library is free to enter and all you need to do is to get your bag checked. The headphones are 1 dollar each for he computers. You have to have a New York public library card to use the computers. But the computers are free to use. Tu necessites reservar to use the computer.
The staff is very nice and the library is very quiet and helpful.

The library cafe is called Amy’s bread cafes it’s a small kiosk which has pastries coffee lunches like soup and sandwiches and chips. My favorite chip is the zesty jalapeño chips and a mini snickerdoodle cookie! 🍪 the floors are clean and it smells good. There is big balcony at the cafe area.

Lincoln public library is close to the Columbus circle subway.
