| Designed by McKim, Mead & White, 1907-09, this library is one of many whose construction was funded by the philanthropic endeavors of Andrew Carnegie, a Scottish immigrant who made his fortune in the steel industry. The Harlem Center for Reading and Writing is also located here. Founded in 1985, it enriches the lives of all in the neighborhood who aspire to higher learning. Inquire at the front desk for information on rest rooms. You may be asked to check any large bags, backpacks and/or coats before venturing past the lobby. | |
