The New York Public Library (NYPL) has been an essential provider of free books, information, ideas, and education for all New Yorkers for more than 100 years. NYPL&rsquo;s neighborhood libraries in the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island&mdash;many of which date to Andrew Carnegie&rsquo;s visionary philanthropy at the turn of the 20th century&mdash;are being transformed into true centers of educational innovation and service, and vital community hubs that provide far more than just free books and materials.<br>
