The flagship of New York’s public library system, the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building is a research, rather than lending, library. The beautiful marble building houses several stately reading rooms, fascinating book collections, and interesting exhibits. We highly recommend taking the free guided tour. However, don’t visit on Sunday if possible; many of the rooms are closed.
