Stephen A. Schwarzman Building

The next library I visited (or in this case revisited) was the NY Public Libray's 42nd street location, the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. I had gone to this building a few times during my summer internship as well, and I had just as many printing problems here as I did at the Schomburg. Newspaper reels tended to be fairly damaged due to their old age, and the poor lighting on the machines affected the printout quality as well. The one advantage that this library had over the Schomburg was that it had a larger amount of microfilm machines, as well as a bigger collection of newspapers. Upon returning a second time, I once again found that this was not the ideal library for printing. My search continues.
