The librarians are free.

The New York Public Library has installed “The Librarian Is In” booth at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. The librarians at this booth will provide reading recommendations upon request.

Two staff members, Lynn Lobash and Gwen Glazer, have signed on to work at the booth. Visitors will find it at the 5th Avenue lobby available until Dec. 23.

Lobash had this statement in the press release: “Reading is a very personal thing, and the whole key to enjoying it is to find the right book, the one that gets you excited and interested and unable to stop turning pages. Finding that book and experiencing that joy is a real gift. We’re here to help. This is what librarians do.”
