With elegant chandeliers, numerous wall panels and beautiful murals, this is really amazing. This room houses 200 different popular magazines and 22 both domestic and foreign newspapers. An interesting fact is that this reading room is named after the founder of <em>Readers&#8217;s Digest Magazine<\/em>. In the 1920s, DeWitt Walace spent many hours in the <em>Periodical<\/em> Room. The restoration of this room in 1983 was made possible by a generous gift from the Wallace Fund. Exactly: founded by DeWitt Walace.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-5 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-5' class='gallery galleryid-31434 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0113.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0113.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"New York Public Library\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0113.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0113-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0113-744x496.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0113-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0113-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0120.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0120.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"New York Public Library\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0120.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0120-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0120-744x496.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0120-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0120-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0124.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0124.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"New York Public Library\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0124.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0124-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0124-744x496.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0124-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0124-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0128.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0128.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"New York Public Library\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0128.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0128-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0128-744x496.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0128-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DSC_0128-585x390.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">McGraw Rotunda: also for a reception or dinner<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <em>McGraw Rotunda<\/em>, by the way, is also a hall not to be missed.

Also for me, the <em>Rose Main Reading Room<\/em> is a must-see, but unfortunately this very room has been closed for more than a year due to maintenance.
