FROM THE ARCHIVES Writing can be a daunting task. You sit in front of a blank page, try to make something where there was nothing, and your only material is language. Over the years, NYPL has hosted dozens of writers who have faced exactly this challenge and ended up on the other side with a finished book. If you want to write, then get ready to take notes. Here are some of the best bits of writing advice from the NYPL video archives.

BUILDING FOR YOU In late October, we reopened our beloved 125th Streetbranch in Harlem after a year of important infrastructure improvements. NYPL President Tony Marx and City Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito joined excited members of the community at a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the occasion. The $1.3 million city-funded project is the latest example of the Library's ongoing effort to improve its spaces and better serve the public.
