Can't think of a more fitting location to release the crane "New" than in the New Amsterdam branch of the New York Public Library system! I was extremely excited to check out a new to me library and I wasn't disappointing. I took the opportunity to pick up a library card while I was there so that I could take advantage of some of the online entities available through the library. And boy does the New York Public Library system deliver! I am excited to take advantage of all of the wonderful things they offer!

I attempted to visit the main New York Public Library branch to see the Children's Literature exhibit, which I heard was awesome. However I must've checked the times for the wrong library as this branch didn't open until 1 in the afternoon on Sundays. It was too cold to wait outside for 45 minutes, so I decided to do some additional crane placing before heading back to see the show.

Of course it would be wrong of me to see a library without going in. This one had some interesting photographs in the lobby of yesteryear. I didn't read too in depth but certainly enjoyed browsing at the photos before I took a quick walk around the library. I like when libraries have interesting pieces of art. Gives them a little bit of individuality.

I only got the barest peek of this library but it beats all my little local libraries hands down in terms of grand scale. There are museum exhibits in rooms of the library that are biggest than my local ones. I would've loved to have poked around every nook and cranny, but I was trying to get back home in time for dinner.
