First, we visit the public library in Greenwich Village. The library was built in the Victorian Gothic style, and it's comfortable and cool inside. There are two floors and a basement, where you can look for your favorite books or videos. Especially in the second floor, you really feel the spaciousness of the place. This is due to the high ceiling and large stained glass windows. The light filters through the green and yellow glass flooding the room with pleasurable colors. When you find the book you were looking for, you can take your time and read it for a while in a spacious reading corner.
To get to the basement, you have to go down an old spiral staircase. Down there, you can find a place that has a totally different character. It has low ceilings with old arches, but since the ceiling is painted white, it doesn't have the depressing atmosphere common to most basements. In the library, you can also use the free wifi, and there are some computers reserved for teens.
