To celebrate the release of NYPL's 125 NYC Books We Love list, we took some of our favorite NYC books on a walk through the Village. We’re finally bringing it back home; here is Planting Stories: The Life of Librarian and Storyteller Pura Belpre right in front of Hudson Park Library! Check out this inspiring picture book biography of Pura Belpre, NYPL's first Puerto Rican librarian who championed bilingual literature. Click the link in the bio for the full list!

In a special storytime dedicated to NYC, Kristy shows us a storytime candle. This tradition started at NYPL many years ago. The candle absorbs all of the magic from all the stories told at storytime, and at the end, hopefully, everyone's wishes come true. (After all, the library is a pretty magical place!)

The Library will remain closed today, December 17th. Cozy up with some ebooks!

While only a small portion of Hudson Park is currently open to patrons so that they can come in and grab their reserved items, we wanted to make sure that their quick trip inside is visually interesting! We enlarged the drawings our patron, local artist @nickgolebiewski , made of neighborhood branches and lined the pathway to the reserves with them! Can you identify all of the branches here? If you want to see if your guesses are correct, click the link in the bio to download a copy of our coloring book e-zine! @ Hudson Park Library

To celebrate #nypl125, we asked our patron @nickgolebiewski to paint the branch libraries of Lower Manhattan.
