The New York Public Library

The New York Public Library’s

A lovely place to visit.

The main branch Beaux-Arts building

Is a landmark most exquisite.

 

In addition to its majesty,

Exhibits are displayed,

Which New Yorkers rarely think about

When plans are being made.

 

I don’t know why, for there are treasures

Waiting to be viewed.

In one case, there was Pooh Bear,

Where most children’s eyes were glued.

 

Charles Dickens’ writing table

And his calendar and chair,

Plus a baseball signed by Brooklyn Dodgers

All are set up there.

 

A special exhibition

Was the draw that lured us in,

Celebrating the New Yorker

And its hundred year-old spin.

 

And one final must-go reason –

There’s a gift shop worth a look.

You can spend the day enjoying all

And never touch a book.
