If you are in the area, be sure to visit the library and view the exhibit.  Just a visit to this remarkable building is worth your time.

The stunning building has served the Greenwich Village community for over forty years. Originally a courthouse, the library was established officially in 1967 after a series of extraordinary events.  The history of the building itself is worthy of a novel.  If you want to find out more, click on the link to the library above.
