The research library and Mid-Manhattan receive a total of about 3.7 million visits a year; if several billion can be spent on luxury housing for a few, surely a few billion can be devoted to a library for the eight and a half million people of New York City. That’s easy enough to say—of course, it would be great if the library had two or three billion dollars. But nowadays there’s an uncertainty about what libraries will be in the future. Will there even be libraries? Will they exist in cyberspace only? Will physical books be necessary? It’s harder to raise money for something not clearly seen.
