Living Library at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts
For 60 years, The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts has provided a hub for artists, scholars, and lovers of dance, music, theater, and the performing arts at-large.
In celebration of the Library's 60th anniversary, all summer long we host events for all ages. On July 23-27, we have curated Living Library: Celebrating 60 Years, a series of weeklong events as part of Lincoln Center's Summer for the City. That week of events includes film screenings, storytimes, reading parties, dance recitals, exclusive tours of the Library's treasures, participatory workshops, play readings, pop-up shops, concerts, silent discos, and more!
You’re invited to experience the cultural legacy of New York from an expert's perspective and explore the vast collection of one of the country's greatest arts libraries.
