With schools and semesters "back in session", people need to read more. Ducking out of the cold air might encourage people to frequent their bookstores and libraries. If you're in midtown Manhattan and have the time...
....you should enter the Fifth Avenue Public Library. It's a national landmark with peacefully ornate Reading Rooms.
The three pictures above showcase the famous Main Reading Room, but the gargantuan library has more (which most people don't know about). Check them out.
Bill Blass Catalog Room
Brooke Astor Rare Book Room
Map Room
Wallace Periodicals Room

Edna Barnes Salom Room

Anytime Lewis and I visit the Fifth Avenue library, the mere entrance/exit enlivens us! Ascending the grand staircases builds suspense to the colorful knowledge/entertainment awaiting us.
It's like wandering the halls of a palatial castle.
Some of the many staircases also provide nooks to sit, read, or people-watch.
What a great respite from the bustling city outside.
To see when Lewis and I visited the world's longest library, please use this link:
If you want something to read that will ignite your imagination, please consider my second adventure novel:
I hope it brings hours of enjoyment!
