Are There Hidden Apartments in New York City Public Libraries?

Question

Can anything more strange be found in New York than New York City Public Libraries with their indifferent attitude and their stories of dormant flats just waiting in their upper parts?

Answer 1

Within the New York City public libraries, there exist concealed residences which were meant for the officials and their family members. Now they contain mostly useless spaces such as cabinets or free rooms, but certain apartments, like the one within the Washington Heights Branch, have been redesigned to serve as educational program spaces for the community.
