Notably: It is the 128th anniversary of one of the great wonders of the world: the New York Public Library. Robert Caro, author of the great LBJ biography (he’s working on the final volume before age gets him) had made it his homw while writing the Robert Moses biography, especially the Allen Room. “One day in 1971, I came across a magazine article describing the Frederick Lewis Allen Room. It said that the only requirement for admission was a contract from a publisher, and that its 11 resident writers were allowed to keep books and other research materials at their desks,” he wrote in The Times in 1995. “When I had used my key for the first time, opened the big door and, carrying my typewriter, walked into the room, none of the people at the desks in it looked up from their work to give me more than a cursory glance. But one of the glances was from a face easily recognizable because of its patriarchal beard; I recognized it because I had seen it not long before on television. The man sitting at the desk next to me was Joseph P. Lash, author of a book that I much admired, “Eleanor and Franklin.” And that evening, after everyone in the room had left, I walked from desk to desk reading the names on the pink slips sticking out of the books, to find out the identity of the people sitting there. […] On a row of bookshelves in the Allen Room were copies of the books that had been written there, not merely the Lash, Milford, Flexner and Lundberg books, but also Betty Friedan’s “Feminine Mystique” and Theodore H. White’s “Making of the President: 1964.” […] In September 1974, “The Power Broker” was published, and I went off on a promotion tour, and then on a long vacation. One day, in the spring of the following year, I waited until the evening, when I knew the room might be empty, and went back to see if “The Power Broker” was on those shelves. It was.”

By royal decree, all ships stopping at Alexandria had to surrender any books they were carrying; these books were copied, and the originals (sometimes the copies) were returned to their owners while the duplicates (sometimes the originals) were kept in the library.

–From Alberto Manguel’s A History of Readin(1996)
