## ✨ THE EVENT

Join us for a very special visit to The New York Society Library, one of New York City’s most historic, elegant, and lesser-known cultural institutions.
Founded in 1754, the New York Society Library is the oldest library in New York City and one of the oldest cultural institutions in the United States. Today, it remains a beautiful private membership library housed in a landmark building on East 79th Street.
This is not a typical public museum visit. The New York Society Library is a special place that many New Yorkers walk past without ever having the opportunity to enter.
For this event, 15 lucky members will have the chance to enjoy a free docent-led group tour and learn about the Library’s history, building, collections, and cultural importance.

## 🏛️ WHAT WE WILL EXPERIENCE

During our one-hour guided tour, we will explore the Library’s beautiful spaces and learn about its unique role in New York’s literary, cultural, and intellectual history.
The tour may include highlights such as:
• The history of the New York Society Library
• Its landmark building on East 79th Street
• Historic reading rooms and member spaces
• Special collections and literary treasures
• The Library’s role in New York City’s cultural life
• Current exhibitions or collection highlights selected by the staff
This will be an intimate and thoughtful visit — perfect for members who enjoy literature, architecture, history, and discovering special New York places that are normally not easy to access.
