The NYPL Digital Gallery has some amazing pictures of the Seward Park Library in the early 20th Century. It’s neat to look at what the library was like back in 1915 and see how much has changed. Back then they let patrons read on the roof! Our library has certainly kept its popularity. It is just as crowded today as it was back then. Although I would love it if I could get this kind of attendance at one of my programs.
