We have received multiple reports that the historic book stacks in the 42nd Street Research Library have now been emptied. Removing the books is a prelude to the proposed demolition of the stacks later this year or early in 2014 as part of the Central Library Plan. \u00a0The removal process started many \u00a0months ago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Construction has not yet started on the additional book storage space that has been promised under \u00a0Bryant Park. Furthermore, ReCAP, the book storage facility in central New Jersey where NYPL\u2019s offsite books are supposed to be stored, was essentially full as of December 2012, and the new storage modules at ReCAP which are intended to hold the additional books from 42nd Street won\u2019t be finished until mid-summer. \u00a0Several sources have reported that books from the 42nd Street stacks are being temporarily stored at a Bronx storage facility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We are planning more leafleting at the 42nd Street Library this coming week and a possible rally the following week. We will have more information shortly!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thank you!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Committee to Save the NYPL<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">____________________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information on the campaign to save the 42nd Street Library, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.savenypl.org\/\">www.savenypl.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You received this message as a subscriber on the list:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:savethelibrary@npogroups.org\">savethelibrary@npogroups.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To be removed from the list, send any message to:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:savethelibrary-unsubscribe@npogroups.org\">savethelibrary-unsubscribe@npogroups.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0For all list information and functions, see:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/npogroups.org\/lists\/info\/savethelibrary\">http:\/\/npogroups.org\/lists\/info\/savethelibrary<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from The\u00a0Committee to Save the New York Public Library: Dear friend, Our website is now up!
