  • Lovely Rooftop Library in Midtown Manhattan!馃懇鈥嶐煉籉ree to public
    There are many NYPLs (New York Public Libraries) in NY, but did you know there鈥檚 a rooftop one? Visit this midtown library - rooftop on 7th floor, open to public! 馃寙 Library membership is FREE! You don鈥檛 need a membership if you鈥檙e just visiting the facility, but you need one to check out books, ebooks, and audiobooks. FYI Wifi is pretty spotty up there NGL. Not many tables but lots of chairs. The building has plenty of restrooms and A/C. Around noon and in the evenings the sunlight reflects from the tower across and hits you in the face, so I suggest coming here in the morning! EDIT: ebony.egc in comments below mentioned hours - yes please note the rooftop closes one hour before the library does! Hours on its website 馃搷 Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library

    Yes but I tried to go once and it was closed for no apparent reason other than it was just closed. I would call ahead to check the hours
