The New York Public Library’s historic Rose Main Reading Room and Bill Blass Public Catalog Room are scheduled to reopen on Wednesday, October 5. The two adjacent rooms on the third floor of the Library’s Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street have been closed since May 2014 for repairs and restoration. The rooms will open during regular library hours; daily tours of the Schwarzman Building at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. will include both spaces, which are designated for research and quiet study.
