NYPL Site To Become Hotel

摘要

In the first example of an apparent new strategy to make the most of valuable land housing outmoded library facilities (as hinted in News, LJ 11/1/07, p. 12ff.), the New York Public Library (NYPL) has agreed to sell the land and building of the Donnell Library, located at 24 W. 53rd Street in Midtown Manhattan, to Orient-Express to build an 11-story hotel that will include space for a significantly smaller library.
