guided tour public library nyc

Dear class,

Last weekend I run into an interesting person, Andrew Blahnik, who is working at the public library of New York.

He works as a System Analyst of integrated library systems. For instance right now he is busy reorganizing the media system how a book gets to the user. You order it online, you select the library you want to pick it up, and it often turns out it gets lost on the way.

The even more interesting part is the fact his office is located at the Braille and talking book library. He was really interested in our design studio and is willing to give us a guided tour. He suggested we could have a look at a couple of different relevant locations of the public library, starting off at the Braille library on 6ave an 20th street.

The exact program can of course be discussed, but I think one requirement is that the tour should fit it in one morning or afternoon.

This post is to see if you all would be interested and what would be the best time to go (of course also depending on his schedule) I was thinking about coming Friday afternoon, although that might be short term. I don’t know if he would be up for it during the weekends… But otherwise what about Monday or Tuesday morning?

Please let me know, so I can contact Andrew.

See you,

Mirte
