Liz Hynes speaks with Caleb Crain and Charles Petersen about the planned renovations of the NYPL’s main research branch at Bryant Park. A panel discussion about this topic will take place at the New School on Tuesday, May 22, from 6:30 to 8:30pm, at the New School’s Theresa Lang Community Center, 55 West 13th Street, on the second floor. The moderator will be Eric Banks, the president of the National Book Critics Circle, and participants will include Joan Scott, David Nasaw, Charles Petersen, and others. A top administrator from the library has also been invited to participate.
