NYPL closed this weekend
Don’t forget: NYPL will be closed September 1-3 in observance of Labor Day. While you can’t visit a branch in person, you can still check out e-books, peruse the digital gallery, download the free Biblion app, or check out one of our awesome online projects, like What’s on the Menu?. Have a great long weekend, everyone.

Happy 100th birthday to the late great Julia Child!!! In October of 2007, The New York Public Library’s Cullman Center for Writers and Scholars held the special program JULIA CHILD IN AMERICAN in which a group of Culinary historians came together to discuss the complex legacy of Ms. Child. Above is the audio from that program. Bon Appetit!
