  1. I could see some exhibits in the NYPL. They are holding some temporary exhibits and have historical elements such as an ornate ceilings, pictures on the walls etc. A lot of visitors have been there and token some pictures: the NYLP is a popular spot for sightseeing. I have not been to such a library. It fact, Japan doesn't have such a library anywhere. The NYLP has changed my concept of my library.

    Thank you.

  2. Just two good students, me and Emiko)))

    I never have been in the NYPL before, so it was my first time. I didn't think that library was so beautiful. In my country, libraries are very simple and don't have any historical value. The NYPL is huge and has a special spirit. You can feel the spirit of ages there.
    I think it's a perfect place for reading books, thinking and learning something new. The atmosphere of the library is very peaceful. In my country you can't find a place like that. It's amazing place. I want to come back there more and more.

  3. I am the third good student and i think you will like my essay:)

    AIr condition has not been working again in our class. That is the why we decided to go to NYPL. Going NYPL was a good idea. Sometimes making little different things would be good to improve our English! That idea worked yesterday!
    We went to NYPL all together by walk. The weather was so hotand humid. Actually i do not really like humid weather, anyway.
    Our teacher EJ seperated us as teams. My team member was Hiroka from Japan.
    So i have been in NYPL before. That was my second time to come NYPL. I have seen NYPL lots of time in Hollywood movies. That place has an amazing architech!
    Hiroka and me checked and looked to almost all sections. We asked to our questions some volunteer worker who name is Richard. He was very polite for us and he answered almost all questions. When i sae him , he was speaking with a tourist.
    In the end that trip was good for us and i want to thank you EJ for trip!!!

  4. Yesterday morning I visited the Public Library of New York City. I had never been there and was a nice experience.
    The building has a wonderful architecture and the library offers many services to the citizens. The entrance is free and people can visit a lot of exhibits inside.
    As well if you have free time you can explore its galleries and discover a piece of history of the city.
    Therefore I recommend to all people to visit the most interesting library that I never have seen.

  5. Te New York public library is bigger than the libraries in Colombia. In Colombia you can take a book, you put your signature on a list and latter you should come back with the book and return it to the library. It's different than in This New York Public Library because here you can't take the books outside the building you can only research. I think that the reason for that politic is the value of the different books or objects. It's different than in Colombia because there are a lot of books so the books are not as important as NYPL. Also another reason can be the historical importance of the NYPL

  6. I've sometimes been here because there is one of the my favorite place in NY.It's very comfortable that there studies for a test and thinks about something.
    So,It's totally different from all libraries which I've been visited in my life.There are many facilities,users,books,documents and more.Specially, I love these interior decorations.
    But there is a same point when I compare this library to the biggest library in my country.It can't take a book from library.In fact,we can just make a search to use these books and documents.

  7. I have been there 3times before.
    I love this library and location also.
    It is totally different this library to the library in my country.
    Because I think it is like a museum and it is one of especially library in the world.
    Something about the decor, the lighting,the artwork,and the stone…everything is so beautiful and gorgeous.
    I felt special walking through the hallways.
    It makes me want to sit down and study and it also makes me want to come back again.

    thank you.

  8. I have been there so many times, because I love NYPL.
    In my country we have one public library for each boroughs. The library of my city is not so fancy and beautiful as NYPL. I think this public library is the most beautiful library in the world.
    When I don't feel well, I usually go to the NYPL and I sit down looking around and reading something. Because NYPL atmosphere is very calm.
    In my city unfortunately the public library is not so important and famous, people get used to go there for studying or reading newspaper. Very sad thing!
    For sure I will come back to NYPL soon.

    Thank you,
    Evelyn

  9. Tuesday was the first time i went to NYPL and I liked it a lot. The architecture of the library is extraourdinary, the staff is very helpful and it was very easy to find any information. Ive only seen the library in movies, but to be there in person was a great experience. Any question that i had was address by the staff with a lot of professionalism, courtesy and in a timely maner. I was able to find all information very easy access. I also liked the fact that library had several exhibitions and that they offer to help you find a job.
    This was a great experience and is a great tool for new yorkers to take advantage off.
