点评:Executive summary: Crowded, pinch point security to enter and leave, limited but significant artifacts, no stacks, no reading room access
Security: Everyone enters via one small revolving door. Security checks all bags coming into and leaving.
Building: Certainly a grand building and very large on the outside and soaring inside, but things to see is very limited. On the first floor there is a small museum of literature treasures that should be seen. Next door is a gift shop pushing merchandise.
On the third floor there is the main reading room that cannot be accessed without a tour or if you can prove you are there to study. There are New Yorker exhibits on the walls at either end as well.
Second floor is mostly closed.
Books are at another location.
Overall: Free to stop in. The little museum inside is worth a look. The rest is a big building that is either empty or inaccessible.
翻译:执行摘要:拥挤,进出安检点很严格,文物数量有限但意义重大,没有书库,没有阅览室入口。
安检:每个人都通过一个小旋转门进入。所有进出的行李都要经过安检。
建筑:这栋建筑确实很宏伟,外观宏伟,内部高耸,但可看的东西却非常有限。一楼有一个小型文学珍品博物馆,值得一看。隔壁是一家礼品店,推销商品。
三楼是主阅览室,除非您参加导览或能证明您来此学习,否则无法进入。两端的墙上都有《纽约客》的展品。
二楼大部分都关闭了。
书籍在其他地方。
总体而言:免费参观。里面的小博物馆值得一看。其余部分是一栋很大的建筑,要么空着,要么无法进入。
