MAPPING NEW YORK'S SHORELINE, 1609–2009 opens in the Gottesman Exhibition Hall at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. Inspired by the Library's collection of Dutch, English, and early American mapping of the Atlantic Coastal regions, the exhibition exemplifies the best early and growing knowledge of the unknown shores along our neighboring waters.

The 2009–2010 Fellows in the SCHOMBURG CENTER'S SCHOLARS-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM arrive. Six scholars, whose research on the black experience would benefit from extended access to the Center's resources, spend six months to one year researching collections at the Center.
LIVE FROM THE NYPL presents Ryan Adams in conversation with Mary-Louise Parker. The rock singer and songwriter discusses poetry, fiction, and his most recent book, Hello Sunshine, with the Tony Award–winning actress.
