Title
A name given to the resource
History of the Bloomingdale Branch of the New York Public Library, by Susan Singer
Subject
The topic of the resource
The history of the Bloomingdale Branch of the New York Public Library.
Description
An account of the resource
These are librarian Susan Singer's notes for a talk she gave to the Park West Neighborhood History Group, later renamed Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group. Though Ms. Singer has first-hand knowledge of the branch's history, having worked there for many years, she chose to focus on her research of the early precursors of the NYPL system, as well as the early history of the Bloomingdale branch, particularly as reflected in the annual reports of Ms. Emily McCormick, up to the year 1961, when the branch moved into its current building, after which Ms. McCormick retired. Ms Singer's notes are fascinating, detailed, beautifully written, and will be of wider interest because much of the history of the area is reflected in the library's history.
