New York Public Library, New York, NY
The Big Apple’s most recognizable landmark can be found here. Besides the twin statues, the inside isn’t too shabby either. That may be why it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965.
The Main Branch was built after the New York Public Library was formed as a combination of two libraries in the late 1890s. It became popular after its opening and saw 4 million annual visitors by the 1920s.
The Library has also been featured in many television shows. Among them, Seinfeld and Sex and the City. And films such as The Wiz in 1978, Ghostbusters in 1984, and The Day After Tomorrow in 2004.
This next library will be music to your ears…..

i d like to seeall of them did see NYC PBLIC LIBRARY
The Air Force Academy Library in Colorado is supposed to be quite impressive too. I’ve only seen the outside. Maybe it’s not considered a public library.
EACH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE NEXT!!!
When I was in high school, research was done at the library.
Going downtown was a treat.
I remember spending as much time exploring the library as I did on research each time I visited. It was breathtaking for someone from a small town with a one room, but very clean and efficient public library.
