Book excerpt: This book, as one can guess from its title, is a handbook to the New York Public Library, albeit not so much the system it is known by today, but rather to the buildings and services that make up the institution. It was written in 1916, when New York Public Library was still in its infancy, since it was built in 1854 with the construction of the Astor Library (now defunct).
