Library Way: A Celebration of the World’s Great Literature, Brought to You by the Grand Central Partnership and the New York Pub

The literary quotes on 41st Street near the New York Public Library's Beaux-Arts main building inspire everyone who comes across them.

Library Way is a gift book that captures that wisdom, pairing each quote with a beautifully designed book cover from the Library's own collections. From Marcus Aurelius's words on the passing of time to Gwendolyn Brooks's about poetry, the texts inspire and are paired with beautiful cover art.

With an introduction about the role of libraries in all of our lives, here is a small treasure for graduates, book clubs, teachers, and anyone who loves books.

The New York Public Library has been an essential provider of free books, information, ideas, and education for all New Yorkers for more than 100 years. Founded in 1895, NYPL is the nation s largest public library system, featuring a unique combination of 88 neighborhood branches and four scholarly research centers, bringing together an extraordinary richness of resources and opportunities available to all.

Housed in the iconic 42nd Street library and three other research centers, NYPL s historical collections hold such treasures as Columbus s 1493 letter announcing his discovery of the New World, George Washington s original Farewell Address, and John Coltrane s handwritten score of Lover Man.
