Schwarzman Library

Peace & Quiet

 Schwarzman Library Op-Ed piece in my opinion the Schwarzman Library is more modern base. As looking at the mood of the library and the colors on how it looks. The building was on the site of the City’s Croton Reservoir at 42nd street and 5th avenue which I found was amazing , this is in the middle of everything, site seeing for tourist or New Yorkers. This building lasted 12 years which was pretty old. In the first place the building took 20 years to build , from this theory you can't tell the library is huge and has a lot going on inside. The library is a depression place to read books and also looks, but I feel that anywhere can be a depression place as long as it's quiet. The New York Public Library is one of fourth of the largest buildings in the world. The marble floors are ancient and have a lot of stories which are good for pictures.The secret storage was a location after the Pearl Harbor was attacked with 12,000 volumes of books. As can be seen the building is beautiful and gives me a big classroom vibe. It's adjacent to Bryant Park so breakfast or lunch can be coordinated around the tour hours. Even with tourists wandering and taking pictures, there were enough signs and staff to enforce the respect for quiet. I've always wondered how big this place was. Looking at the pictures of this place looked like it was going to be a very wide and spacious library, but it really wasn't so grand. I was expecting the reading area to be opened to the public but it wasn't.There were some pretty neat looking artifacts on the second floor. I went into the quiet room and saw a lot of old paintings. Overall the place is very nice for a library.
