Word-processing and other applications are not available on these computers.
Reference Services - Our professional staff is pleased to provide assistance in the use of library information resources as well as off-site (electronically accessible) research tools. Our goal is for you to find the information you need within our collection, and if that is beyond our scope, to direct you efficiently to a reliable resource.
Library Collection - The Buttenwieser Library reflects the Y itself: culturally sophisticated, community-oriented, health conscious and dedicated to learning. We emphasize materials of lasting quality and value while responding to interest in fresh ideas and entertaining reading.
Newspapers and Periodicals - Subscriptions to almost 100 newspapers and magazines serve the interests of the newshound, the hobbyist, the literary reader, the history or science buff and the inquisitive child. Older issues of magazines may be borrowed for one week. Current issues may be used only in the library.
Children's Library - From toddlers to teens, every young person will find books to delight, inform, inspire or charm. A selection of nearly 9,000 picture books, easy readers, novels and non-fiction awaits the eager reader.
Judaica Collection - Explore our rich selection of materials on every aspect of Jewish life, including biblical and Talmudic texts and commentaries, rituals, cooking, art and music, history and biography, philosophy and literature. Reference materials are in their own section, while circulating fiction and non-fiction may be found on the general collection shelves. All children's Judaica is shelved with the children's general collection. Approximately 20% of the library's overall collection is Judaica.
Reference Materials - While the Judaica and children's collections each have their own reference materials, the adult reference collection serves the general reader and seeker of information. Reference materials may be used in the library only. Photocopies are 10 cents per page, self-service.
92nd Street Y Archives - The archival resources of the 92nd Street Y document the rich history and diverse activities of the organization since its founding in 1874. Learn more at http://www.92Y.org/archives.
