BOOKS IN NEW YORK:
JEFFERSON MARKET BRANCH
A stone's throw from E.E. Cummings' New York apartment, The Jefferson Market Branch of the NYPL has seen a lot of action. The building is one of the most unique in the area and has a very colorful history, including service as a courthouse where Mae West was once tried. Things have settled down since, and the building now houses a serene and scenic library that's all Gothic arches and Saarinen chairs. A lovely garden out back hosts frequent low-key musical and literary events.
