Out of all the floors we went to as a group, I found the first floor most fascinating…It is the most popular floor and I also observed that there were many people in different areas of the floor especially in the technology area.(films/videos/DVDS)

In addition we visited the NYPL with the lions in front. I forgot the man’s name but he gave us a tour of the library including his assistant. They told us that many interesting information about the things that we saw. Like the first makings of Winnie the Pooh and his gang, the bible, the painting on the walls of a man writing a manuscript in the ancient times. It was cool lol… The assistant offered advice about being assisted at the library if we need help on looking for a certain book. I don’t know if you guys were listening or not lol but she was bringing up the fact that most of the references and information they have are indeed helpful and how they have very fragile books that still exist.
