Good morning. It’s Thursday. Today we’ll find out why the New York Public Library is giving away books — and providing no-waiting access to 25 e-book titles. We’ll also look at the relationship between Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani and the police commissioner, Jessica Tisch.
Credit…Karsten Moran for The New York Times.Usually you have to return books you get from a library. Today the New York Public Library will give books away — 1,000 books from its list of the best titles of 2025, chosen by more than 80 librarians from branches across the library’s system. If you get one, you won’t have to return it.
The giveaways are a way to promote the library’s best-books list. They will be available at three “flagship” libraries — the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, at 455 Fifth Avenue; the Bronx Library Center, at 310 East Kingsbridge Road; and the St. George Library Center, at 5 Central Avenue on Staten Island.
But giving away books is not the only way the library is attempting to put the titles on its list in readers’ hands. The institution is making 25 of the titles available as e-books with no waiting to anyone who has one of its library cards. Ten of the 25 are for adults, five are for teens and 10 are for children (five in English and five in Spanish).
“Usually when we announce our best books, there’s a run on the titles, no matter how many we buy” to put on the shelves, said Brian Bannon, the chief librarian, “so it’s sort of like you can’t check out the ones you want until next summer.” With e-books, “we’re leaning into a way that makes it easy to borrow a book” — and to read it while the impulse is fresh.

My fellow Brattleborosters likely will be interested in this photograph courtesy of the New York Public Library(!). My best guess is that the date is later. It would be interesting to learn what members of the Brattleboro Historical Society say.
A majestic stone lion, carved with remarkable detail and poised in a sentinel's stance, dominates the foreground in this view showcasing the grandeur of the New York Public Library's facade. This formidable guardian symbolizes strength and protection, its chiseled muscles and imposing visage evoking a sense of awe.

Celebrate National Library Shelfie Day 2025
Let’s Celebrate Libraries!
National Library Shelfie Day occurs annually on the fourth Wednesday in January. It is a great opportunity for people to reflect on the books that have influenced their lives and inspire others to engage with reading and explore the wealth of resources available at libraries.
Founded in 2014 by the New York Public Library, this event encourages us to take and share selfies. The catch is that this isn’t just any selfie; it’s a “shelfie,” which is a picture of yourself in front of a bookshelf at the library! It is an invitation to showcase our love for reading and recognize the importance of libraries. This fun initiative promotes literacy and also highlights the unique experiences and memories created within library spaces.
Whether you’re visiting your local library or showcasing your home collection, participating in National Library Shelfie Day is a creative way to inspire others to celebrate reading and explore the wealth of resources available libraries.
Libraries are essential!!
Libraries are a safe space for community engagement, promoting literacy and support for lifelong learning. Libraries provide free access to a vast array of information resources, including books, journals, newspapers, and digital content, enabling individuals to acquire knowledge and stay informed. Libraries safeguard and preserve our stories for those who come after us.
“When I got my library card, that was when my life began.”
Rita Mae Brown

"…#museums and other #CulturalInstitutions, including some very, very big ones, to my eye they’re reluctant to use their #influence.
The #NewYorkPublicLibrary probably could be doing a lot more to support digital rights around #eBooks, for example. Or they could be releasing a lot of the books as eBooks and saying, we own the book, we can release it as an eBook. They don’t want to do that because they don’t want to antagonize the #publishers right now."

Leaders of New York City's three library systems have for months warned that if budget cuts instituted last year and funding reductions that together total nearly $60 million included in Mayor Eric Adams' executive budget are enacted, Saturday service across the five boroughs' 219 branches could be eliminated
