It took three years,
... even longer than the pandemic.
However construction is completed at
midtown Manhattan’s newest sketch site.
The New York Public Library is delighted to welcome you to the all-new Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL), following a full-scale renovation that transformed NYPL’s largest circulating branch into the library that New Yorkers need and deserve. Visitors are now welcome to explore and use nearly all of the building’s services and resources, including unlimited browsing, seating, computer access, the free publicly accessible rooftop terrace, and more.
Discover the all-new rooftop terrace at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library (SNFL). The free outdoor space is now open to the public to enjoy views of Midtown Manhattan and open-air seating. Please note that seating on the terrace is first-come, first-served, and we are unable to guarantee availability for individuals or groups.
