INTHISISSUE From the Head Librarian


             Carolyn Waters


  Sarah Parker Goodhue Exhibition              I came to the New York Society Library

                                               the same way I know many of you did â€“ by

                                       PAGE 3  deciding one day to simply walk in the door,

                                               possibly after passing under the gray awning

Library Patron Alexander Hamilton              numerous times before. I was a library student

                                               at the time, in the midst of a major mid-life

                                       PAGE 6  career change that was by turns exhilarating

                                               and terrifying. From the moment I walked in,

         Staff News                            I understood that this place was special. I was

                                               greeted warmly by Susan Chan, who contin-

                                      PAGE 10  ues to greet members and visitors alike, five

                                               days a week, and offered a tour. I then spent

                                               an hour chatting with Jane Goldstein, at the time the Head of Circulation. I was

                                               enchanted - by the books and by the promise of amazing adventures in the stacks,

                                               but mostly by the people.

                                               Itâ€™s now almost nine years later, and I find myself amazed and overjoyed by my good

                                               fortune in stopping in that day. I joined the staff as a part-time Circulation Assistant

                                               shortly after that first visit, and Iâ€™ve never left. This literary haven in this chaotic city

                                               has charmed me as Iâ€™m sure it does you. Taking on this new role, Iâ€™m incredibly

                                               fortunate to have a supremely talented and creative staff and dedicated, loyal trustees

                                               who understand that, together with our remarkable members, we form an incom-

                                               parable community of readers, writers, and families. To serve our community, weâ€™ve

                                               added programming, enhanced our collections with new remote resources including

                                               e-books, and increased our hours â€“ and thatâ€™s just this year! It has been instructive

                                               and energizing listening to members and developing programs and services that

                                               enhance the well-being of our community, while maintaining the book stacks, the

                                               reading and writing spaces, and all of the other features that make this

                                               Library unique.

                                               Not long after it was announced that I was taking over as Head Librarian, and that

                                               I was the third woman in the Libraryâ€™s history to do so, I discovered that my own

                                               grandfather, Albert G. Waters, was well acquainted with the first one. Edith Hall

                                               Crowell was a well-respected librarian at the Perth Amboy (N.J.) Free Public Library,</code></pre>
