The real revolution song of Tahrir Square

A philanthropist who donated $100 million to the library.

The NYCPL was built at the site of a shutdown reservoir because it was a public place that people frequently visited and the builders wanted the library to take the place of this park.

The library has a lot of artifacts and exhibits that are related to literature, including a collection of locks of hair from various famous authors.

The library tries to be as accessible to the public as possible. For example, people can use their IDNYC cards as library cards.

The library has become such an iconic piece of the city's landscape that it is featured in many famous movies as a landmark of the New York City.
