- I complete a walk through most of the publicly accessible areas of The New York Public Library Main Branch (Stephen A. Schwarzman Building) in Manhattan during a busy spring day in June 2018.
From Wikipedia:
"The Stephen A. Schwarzman Building of the New York Public Library, originally called the Central Building and more widely known as the Main Branch or as the New York Public Library, is the flagship building in the New York Public Library system and a prominent historic landmark in Midtown Manhattan. The branch, opened in 1911, is one of four research libraries in the library system. It currently contains area of 646,680 square feet (60,079 m2) and four stories open to public. The main entrance steps are on Fifth Avenue opposite East 41st Street.
The Library's famous Rose Main Reading Room (Room 315) is a majestic 78 by 297 feet (24 by 91 m), with 52-foot (16 m)-high ceilings. The room is lined with thousands of reference works on open shelves along the floor level and along the balcony, lit by massive windows and grand chandeliers, and furnished with sturdy wood tables, comfortable chairs, and brass lamps. It is also equipped with computers providing access to library collections and the Internet as well as docking facilities for laptops. Readers study books brought to them from the library's closed stacks. There are special rooms named for notable authors and scholars, many of whom have done important research and writing at the Library. But the Library has always been about more than scholars; during the Great Depression, many members of the general public, out of work, used the Library to improve their lot in life, as they still do.
The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1965, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, and designated a New York City Landmark in 1967. It was renamed in 2008 after businessman Stephen A. Schwarzman, who donated a large sum of money for the refurbishment of the building."

@@NeoNenew the main character of banana fish )
I was having a good, happy day. But *n o p e* 🙃
It’s ok. It’s just a nap. Eiji come get yo husband back from the library-
omg i LOVE these types of videos. i don't have money to travel there but wow it really feels like i'm in that place. THank you!
I’m just here because of ash and I REFUSE to think he’s dead
😂 love to you, I’m here for the same reason.
who si ash and what are we talking about?
@@hazel2834 Is it really sad? I been thinking of watching it
he's just sleeping wdym
Same
*My Soul Is Always With You.* 🙂
Wake up Ash.
I think the phrase they don't build them like that anymore is an understatement.
Imagine living in a place where you don't need a car, and you can be a night owl, and you have access to a beautiful historic building filled with tons of information at your fingertips, all the books you can read
Sounds like heaven; that’s why I’m moving to New York, I love reading more than anything so I’m going to buy an apartment near hear.
That is something special, what an incredible building. Never for one minute did I expect it to be as grande that.
Thank you for showing, your videos are always of the highest quality and i always look forward to watching them.
Nice! This is why I like your videos - it's showing us places in detail that only tourists or locals are able to see. It's almost like being there for real :) Thanks, man :)
Is ash still sleeping there? :)
No just no…😍💔
Yep in seat 379....hopefully
SA-YO-NA-RA
He just sleeping :')
Beautiful. Looks like a museum.
my soul is always with you
killua zoldyck shut up I’m just about to
You make me cry
cries
sorry guys..
killua zoldyck this anime ripped my whole heart and soul out
As a library lover, this pleases me.
I’ve never been to the New York public library before and I did not expect the words “wang dang doodle” to be the first thing you see when you walk in
Fantastic once again.
Crazy library they put a lot of effort into it ,
So beautiful and interesting tour in the public library 😊🙏 I've been there once It's great!
I'm just here 'cause of Banana Fish
Love this kind of video.. please do more of this library tour in other places/country 😆✌
very beautiful and fascinating...
Magnificent Building, lots of books there! I love books! 😁
this one reminds me of those DK books multimedia CDs. where there's a tour on places around the world! this is quite the quality work! you should be proud. thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great part about this library is that there’s a bathroom and you don’t have to pay to go in so if you have a bathroom emergency, you can just walk in, show what’s inside your bag and go to the bathroom. I know this library like the back of my hand but if your a tourist than it might take a while to find rest rooms 😅
Remember kids: modern architects can only dream of making a building as gradeouise and incorporating as many metaphysically principled disciplines as this.
fantastic!
The moment I started watching,I thought of Ghostbusters.Very nice video.It's very different than I imagined it to be.But I've only been in my small local libraries.I'd love to see this one.Thanks for the video,ActionKid.Take care.
Thanks for sharing
Like you are right there. I can smell the books.
Btw I really Apriciate your content. I search something like your content looong time ago like just walking and culture of America. I hope you will be big, for other people can see this. underrated, I think you just need some hype place for views. Sry for bad english.
Thank you so much
Love those old phone booths @13:15
Always wanted to go there.
“Egon, That reminds me of a Time you tried to put that drill in your Head. Remember That?”
“That Would’ve Worked if you Haven’t Stopped Me.”
I can smell the knowledge and great works of literature from here...
@ 13:18 is that a phone on a movie "Day After Tomorrow" A Sam try a call his father after wave hit the NYPL ?
hmm, I miss that movieee
I hope one day i got to visit many historical places
Nice lamps
Yet another great video, AK, but again I miss your wonderful narration. You would’ve made the tour that much more interesting. I know you were in a library, of course, but still I heard plenty of other people speaking. Your voice would’ve suited that venue perfectly in my humble opinion.
まるで美術館のようですね。一日中楽しめそう!
I've been to the central library of downtown Houston and while it was nice, it sure didn't look like this!
Wow what an amazing building it must be huge, I was going to ask how big then I saw in the description over 60,000 Sq Metres. Do you need a GPS to find your way back out again. Imagine the cost to build it back in the day or to do that in today's money. Thanks for showing it.
steviebboy69 Nah don’t really need a GPS if you have a good sense of direction. The building is pretty straightforward for the most part.
I'm sure the lady leaving the restroom 7 minutes in is going to be THRILLED when she sees this. HA!
Another fine video by actionkid105. Always feels like I am right there walking along with you although you have more restraint in not focusing the camera on the legions of beautiful women you invariably encounter on each of your adventures. ;)
Thanks! There's beautiful people all around the world, not only New York!
20:03 pov: *ur looking on the part of the library where ash died*
Is the wifi good ?
IS there limited time? because I'm wanna living there
Limited time? You mean closing hours? Is that what you meant?
If i knew the names of every bricklayer,carpenter,painter that helped to build such a place...
I wish I could be there someday. ameen.
For a library I dont see that many book shelves for how big it is.
There are 34 miles of bookshelves under the library extending out under Bryant Park.
Little unknown fact. The NYPD had a little office somewhere in there. In the 60s and 70s.
ACTION KID!! CAN I USE THIS FOR A PERSONAL PROJECT?
12:37👍
Libraries can be considered the housepower of democracy.
Was the camera in hand?
Yep, I'm holding it with a gimbal.
In my life attended many places but there are two that i enjoyed always:A good library and a strippers club.Those are the places one must go to taste the flavor of living.
I’m only here because of ghostbusters 😂
Assshhh wake up
he’s just sleeping😔
I know...🥺
Yup 🙃
Eiji come get yo husband he’s been taking a really long nap and u need to wake him up :’)
Is this aeeaaa... Hogwarts?
Иван Федорович no this is where ash died
