NYPL could soon be reviewed on Tripadvisor?
In the New York Times today, an article appeared about the New York Public Library mixing it up with a base level $750 per night hotel.One thing that I distinctly remember about my time in Amarillo and whilst visiting the main library in Nashville was the amount of homeless people using the library for warmth…
