Reading Room: A Catalog of New York City’s Branch Libraries will open on Thursday, September 22 at 6:00 pm at the Center for Architecture. The exhibition, designed by LeClair Lucas, features the work of architectural photographer Elizabeth Felicella, documenting all 210 branches of New York City’s extensive public library systems, from J. William Schickel's 1884 Ottendorfer Library to Steven Holl's Hunters Point Library, in more than 2,000 photographs. Felicella’s subtle and technically accomplished photographs depict the libraries from varying vantage points – from full-scope exterior shots to intimate studies of window plants and pencil sharpeners – inviting the viewer to appreciate the intricacy, complexity, and vast scope of these vital and evolving public resources.
