Less well known are a host of specialty libraries that have grown up around the rich intellectual and cultural life of New York City. There are a number of libraries that serve genealogical researchers, but also libraries catering to Spanish, German, French and Russian speakers. There is a library of books about dogs and one that is based on the work of Carl Jung. A library in Staten Island checks out tools to homeowners rebuilding after Hurricane Sandy. \u003ci\u003eFifty Specialty Libraries of New York City\u003c\/i\u003e will be a tour of highly specialized but publicly accessible libraries in Manhattan and the Outer Boroughs. In each case, access is described, and an interview with the director or supervisor is presented. This book is a unique information source for all those librarians and researchers interested in the rich cultural heritage of New York's libraries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry Ballard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0081005547\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780081005545\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chandos Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Terry Ballard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48135906820351,"sku":"9780081005545","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7fe3139f-7317-4224-9050-f44dc0b06306.jpg?v=1770159241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/50-specialty-libraries-of-new-terry-ballard-9780081005545","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
