Ex Libris: The New York Public Library
Movie
Description
[Machine Translation] The film is a theatrical blockbuster that depicts the hidden behind-the-scenes of the New York Public Library, one of the world's largest "Halls of Knowledge"! The film features many celebrities such as Dr. Richard Dawkins, Elvis Costello, and Patti Smith, but the camera takes us behind the scenes inside the library, where tourists are never allowed to enter, and only staff are allowed. The librarians and volunteers, the executives' meetings...you won't want to miss this unique look at the library! Directed by master documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman, who won an Honorary Academy Award in 2016. A living legend, Wiseman shows why this library is the most famous in the world and tells what public and democratic city council means. What is the most famous library in the world-the New York Public Library ( NYPL )? The New York Public Library is a network of 92 libraries, including the main building, the Steven A. Schwarzman Building, located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street in Manhattan and famous as a tourist attraction for its majestic Beaux-Arts architecture, four research libraries open for research purposes, and 88 community-based branches. The main building was completed in 1911, and additional branch libraries have been added at various locations through donations from Andrew Carnegie and others. The library boasts one of the world's largest collections of books in the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts, with a total of 60 million items. Membership is free of charge and open to anyone who lives or works in New York City. Although the name "public" is used in the title, the museum is an independent corporation financially supported by the city and private donations. The word "public" here does not mean "public" but rather "public" (open to the general public).
