Snapshots from NYPL

We all have great memories about our local library—old and new—the favorite book series we checked out when we were young, pictures we drew during a class, or how we used the quiet space for study and research. We thought, wouldn’t it be great to offer our patrons a unique way to capture a moment from their library visit? Will they tell us how they use the library? Could we make it easy for them to share the moment with others?

We ultimately decided to install photo booths at two of our libraries. Photo booths, after all, have a rich history in American culture.
