Αssociated Press reports from New York that the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL) was featured in the New York Times on July 4 for its architecture. “After three years of construction and $200 million, the library system was ready to reopen its largest circulating branch in spring 2020,” the pandemic delayed the opening, and the SNFL “after a $55 million gift, finally threw open its doors to unlimited browsing in June. Its theatrically expressive heart is a dramatic atrium billowing upward from the second floor, where book lovers will delight in a vista of the vast circulating collection of up to 400,000 volumes,” the Times reported.
With “extensive programming” coming soon, SNFL is among the branches of the New York Public Library (NYPL) which fully open on July 6, along with the Queens library system and Brooklyn a few days later, the Times reported.
