The New York Library brings audiences behind the scenes to one of the world's largest repositories of knowledge, an inclusive cultural exchange and learning platform that receives 18 million readers and 32 million online visitors a year. There are 92 library branches scattered in Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, dedicated to providing resources for all residents of this complex and bustling metropolis. The film examines how this legendary institution has adapted to the digital revolution while preserving tradition. The New York Public Library is multifaceted, from its majestic headquarters on Fifth Avenue to its downtown branches, each with its own unique projects and target groups. Libraries do much more than borrow books, and the New York Public Library benefits everyone through lectures, community work, workshops for children and training courses for job seekers. This documentary shows how the library uses books, concerts, lectures, courses and other ways to educate readers, stimulate interest in learning, spread knowledge and strengthen community ties.
