All units of the NYPL will be closed July 4.
As part or our art and low-vision series we are excited to have The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) present a series of free lectures and art-making workshops at the Andrew Heiskell Library this winter. The content of this program series is based on free monthly touch and verbal description tours conducted at MOMA for adults who are blind or partially sighted. MoMA also conducts programs such as these for families. All programs will take place in the first floor community room.
Find out more and learn about art at this month's program!

Examine key works and ideas of modern art, from late Impressionism to the beginnings of the New York School through a selection of masterpieces in The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Could the library schedule

Could the library schedule some of their events on the weekdays instead of the weekend? I would really like to attend some on the weekdays because I have support workers during the week but not the weekend and we're always looking for something to keep us busy if we don't have anything to do.
