Man! I really wanted to like this place, especially with its early place in NYPL history. That 2nd level stack situation is cool; not surprising it’s inaccessible, though. (Maybe the Bible guy would have been happy up there.)
I dig the East Village, and its connection to Kleindeutschland. Despite the ultimate drabness, thanks for sharing its fascinating history with us!
Surely that copy of Beloved is mis-shelved. They must have other classics by authors between M and T! And I'm a little unsettled to see The Warden to the right of Barchester Towers for obvious reasons.

This is a pretty good point. I'll have to go back and check. I crave more Lima Bean soup.
