New York Public Library

The New York Public Library is known among many things as one of the world's great knowledge institutions and an architectural icon of the city.
Built on the site of the Croton Reservoir, a popular strolling place that occupied a two-block section of Fifth Avenue between 40th and 42nd Streets, this landmark was also the largest marble building built in the country when it first opened.
Today, the library holds tens of millions of the most venerable monuments of human culture, documents and books. The best way to explore this grand library is the docent-led tours which is completely free and runs from Tuesday through Saturday at 12:30pm and 2:30pm and on Sunday at 3:30pm for current exhibitions.
