1. “Dear Picture Collection - I did such a good job with your pictures that I got a job - and now I can’t return them until Sat. Respectually O’Hara” 73 years ago today, O’Hara sent this postcard to the librarians at NYPL’s picture collection. O’Hara found out how inspiring the Picture Collection can be, why don’t you stop by and sneak a peek for yourself? You’ll be amazed at what you might find.

    What would Charles Dickens think about turning 200 today? Well, everyone here at NYPL wishes him (and all his faithful fans) a most wonderful bicentennial! Why don’t you stop by the Stephen A. Schwarzman building and catch a last look at Mr. Dickens’ letter opener (fashioned from his cat’s paw) and his very own reading copy of David Copperfield? They will be on exhibit until March 4, don’t miss out!
