New items on view! Plan your visit to see the Polonsky Exhibition of The New York Public Library’s Treasures and explore some of the extraordinary manuscripts, artworks, letters, and recordings in our renowned research collections. #NYPLTreasures https://t.co/ijrIuA04nM

@bbpnyc Hello again! Just checking whether I’m reading today’s pier 6 volleyball schedule correctly. It appears to be available for pick-up play for the community on the calendar, but all three courts are being used for a private tournament https://t.co/6wgu4xwEcM

@ChristySColeman How can I attend? 🙋‍♀️

[Becky Laughner @blaughner]

Truly my greatest fear... (mounting an exhibition that harms someone, not being harmed by an exhibition)

Well, a part of the Jay Z exhibit at BPL just broke and nearly dropped on a woman. This panel was on the wall covering a clock and dropped to the ground, made a BOOM so loud it drew a crowd

“My love for Jay Z almost killed me!!” Said the woman who nearly missed getting crushed

@Alev_Arg @flynorse This happened to me when I flew JFK->LGW on May 12. When I arrived to the Norse desk at JFK, I found most of the passengers on my flight were in a similar situation. I'm flying back tomorrow--attempted to check-in and received the same message.

This is feeling very intentional.

Do you work at or are you affiliated with one of the 112 institutional members of @MuseumsCouncil?

If so, you’re invited to attend the next meeting at @PosterHouseNYC on May 24. Get tickets here: https://t.co/zZk8hfpcb5

Abolish the monarchy. But first, enjoy this lovely picture of Jean Blake, crowned Queen of the May at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's May Day festival. Today's Fashion Friday is in full bloom. 🌸 🌸 🌸

Don't know what the @Stedelijk museum's WhatsApp trail is, but I'm *really* excited to find out https://t.co/EyBA1RUjQq

@artcrimeprof Oh how funny to see DD and Leslie Tillett on the list! Their designs and textiles are held by many institutions but I had no idea they donated to AMNH https://t.co/orTvuu4pLc

I do not give a flying FUCK about Fonts... Weirdo shit.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Mayor Eric Adams wants to slash funds for New York City libraries. "The mayor might want to reconsider what library branches like the ones I saw deliver — and why their design has ripple effects," our critic Michael Kimmelman writes. https://t.co/VVDZY0VVyp

@DominiqueJL15 @brooklynhistory @BKLYNlibrary Ah! Congrats! This is excellent news! 🎉

Are they going to let that mom who has two Super Bowl sons do the coin toss because if so I’m interested in at least the start and the middle

[Becky Laughner @blaughner]

Love this bizarrely specific book list "Memoirs About the Transformative Power of Hobbies"

[NY Public Library @nypl]

Hobbies can be more than just an enjoyable pastime—they can be life-changing. https://t.co/QDseIbXhzr
