Dearest mapsters,

At 1:00 p.m. Eastern time tomorrow, February 15, 2005, the Map Division,
NYPL, will open for service in a new location, Room 121, across the hall
from our present location.

Hours remain: 1-7:30 Tues; 1-6 Wed-Sat; Closed Sun-Mon.

Reference information: 212-930-0589; [log in to unmask]

Please make any researchers you may be referring to the Map Division, NYPL,
aware of our new locale, hours, and the fact that most of our 400,000+
sheetmaps are now somewhat removed from the reference desk, so calling and
emailing ahead is always a good idea. Maps are only paged at 1:30, 3:00,
4:30 and 6:30 on Tuesday.

New York City reference materials, such as real estate atlases and maps;
histories of mapmaking texts; post-2000 cartography texts; gazetteers and
world atlases will be nearby for reference use. Not to mention a globe or
two.

We expect to reopen in December 2005 in our splendidly renovated Rooms 115
and 117.

Some of us, not necessarily moi, will be here at 6 a.m.,  tomorrow, to
finish moving atlases and maps into the Library's main stacks.

Chief, Map Division

5th Avenue & 42nd Street, Room 117
