If you have ever been to MOMA in New York, then you'll be familiar with the Donnell Library, which was across the street.The city of NYC decided to turn it into a luxury hotel for some reason, which is a shame. I'd been there a few time when in town and it was a pretty cool library smack dub in midtown. The library is going to be reopened at a fraction of its size in the basement of the hotel, and that is only because by law the space must be used for a library - and it won't be open for years. The catalogers from the Internet Archive were the very last people out of the building, long after all the librarians had moved on. They took shots of the remains and the demolition.
