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.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Hi, it depends on which collection the item belongs to. If it is part of the circulating collection, then yes, you can check out the book using your library card. If it is part of the research collection, then it is most likely a no. You can confirm with the library staff when you use the item.

Can you be accessed by the libby app? I teach theater at Queens College but I live in Manhattan and I'd love my students to have access to the performing arts library. Advise.

The address is 40 Lincoln Center Plaza, between the Metropolitan Opera and Vivian Beaumont Theatre. You can also enter at 111 Amsterdam where the auditorium is, but you'll need to use the wheelchair lift to reach the restrooms and elevators.

Do they help with resume

Naheemah Creightney | Oct 14, 2018
SU | Oct 14, 2018

No. This a special library - specializing in performance arts. I recommend you contact the most convenient public library branch for you. Or second most, if this one is the most convenient. At minimum, THAT branch will have books to help you with your resume. And computers with software to help you print your resume.

Is it open during labor day
