The library's address is no longer 1 Grand Army Plaza, as that address was purchased by the condo development across the street as it was never officially owned by the library.

"Sex and the City: The Early Years" - A Bawdy Look at Dutch New York (November 18 at 7:00pm)
Bill Greer discusses The Mevrouw Who Saved Manhattan.
“Sex and the City: The Early Years” looks at the libertine culture Europeans brought to New York in the 17th century and how that culture engendered an independent streak that fueled a rebellion of the common people against their rulers. This conflict, many historians argue, laid the foundation for ... (more)the pluralistic, freedom-loving society that America became.
