About this Event
Discover SNFL!
Explore NYPL’s largest circulating branch in a free 1-hour guided tour.
Designed to inspire, building highlights include:
- The only free, publicly accessible rooftop terrace in Midtown
- A dramatic “Long Room” with 42-foot-high atrium
- Commissioned public art celebrating creativity and curiosity
Located at the site of the former Mid-Manhattan Library, the completely transformed Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL) reopened in June 2021 thanks to a generous gift from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and support from the City of New York.
Spaces are limited for this in-person event. Registration is required for this free 60-minute tour.
All events are subject to change or cancellation.
