Biography

1. The Terence Cardinal Cooke-Cathedral Branch originated as part of the New York Archdiocese's Cathedral Library Association in 1887. It was merged with The New York Public Library in 1904. For many years the branch was located at 123 East 50th Street in Manhattan, and after 1926 it operated out of Cathedral High School in the same area. At its current address, below street level at 560 Lexington Avenue, it remains one of the more compact branches of The New York Public Library. Located halfway down the entrance of the number 6 subway at 50th Street, it serves many who work in the neighborhood as well as those who live there.
