    To celebrate the New York Public Library turning 125(!), the Hudson Park branch asked New York City-based artist Nick Golebiewski to paint the libraries of lower Manhattan. (My personal favorite? The Jefferson Market Library, which is just a short walk from our office. I miss it so!) If you too have been missing perusing the books at your local library, perhaps you can find some solace in these delightful illustrations.

    You can see the rest on their Instagram page and (eventually, when it’s safe) at an in-person exhibition. And if you want one of these beauties in your home, a portion of the proceeds from the art print sales are going back to that branch!
