Two trees grow in the Bronx, at NYPL’s Belmont Branch to be exact. You can read the classic book “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn,” or you can meet its nearly literal Bronx representation at Belmont Library, or you can stop by Mid-Manhattan Library’s exhibition featuring all of our local libraries.

Hey New Yorkers: Can you tell us who was the first mayor of New York City in 1898 after all five boroughs were consolidated? I’ll give you a hint…He’s the man with the mustache!
You’ve guessed right, it’s Robert Anderson Van Wyck, an attorney turned politician, who served as mayor of NYC from 1898 to 1901.

As part of our series introducing you to NYPL’s libraries… welcome to Clason’s Point Library in the Bronx! You may remember a couple of months ago the branch was blessed with the birth of a healthy baby boy, due to the quick thinking of one Clason’s Point own staffers. This picture, currently on exhibition at Mid-Manhattan Library, shows the library ready and waiting to inspire and educate patrons, young and old.
Support Clason’s Point and it’s fellow libraries, by speaking out against the $47 million budget cut proposed by the City.
"Happiness is excitement that has found a settling down place, but there is always a little corner that keeps flapping around."
- From the Mixed-up Files of Basil E. Frankweiler.
In memory of the great E. L. Konigsburg, an author who taught us to laugh and dream with her thoughtful children’s books - Happiness will always abound as long as her books are flapping around (and they are… at the Library).
