Our division has been dissolved. Our reading rooms have been closed. Our librarians have been reassigned … In theory, we continue as collections, the Asian and the Baltic, but I’m highly skeptical … The whole library has been drastically downsized … There has been nothing about this in the press, no. Obviously the library doesn’t want any publicity … They foresee many thousands more people in this building, and that, to them, is a worthy goal. There is a perception that libraries are archaic, dead, outdated, and that everything is now on the Internet, in digital form. We [librarians] are old, stooped-over people, doing old, stooped-over things. [The NYPL administration] want[s] to lighten things up, they want the library to be active and hip.
