Statement Re: 9/23 Space Rental Event

The Library has decided to cancel a space rental event scheduled to take place during business hours on Monday, 9/23 at its 42nd Street building. The Library made the decision today, citing concerns about possible disruption to Library operations as well as the safety of our patrons. The Library was aware of public concern around the event and one of its sponsors; it is important to note that the Library never endorses its rental events, and, as per policy, only screens for religious and partisan political events.
