Niarchos Fdn. Gives NYPL $55 Million

摘要

The NewYork Public Library (NYPL) announced on September 13 the receipt of $55 million from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation to support the complete renovation of the Mid-Manhattan Library, NYPL's largest circulating branch. Combined with the recent boost in funding for FY18 capital projects from the city of NewYork, the foundation's gift will enable the $200 million gut renovation of the 105-year-old building into a modern circulating branch. The Mid-Manhattan Library closed on August 1; NYPL plans to reopen it as the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library in early 2020.
