NYPL Wire–The New York Public Library: Happy Birthday, Patience and Fortitude! →

One hundred years ago today, our iconic marble lions, Patience and Fortitude, were placed on their Fifth Avenue pedestal to guard the the 42nd Street Library, now known as the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building. A few days later on May 23, 1911, the building officially opened. We’re celebrating the building’s Centennial this weekend with tons of free fun, including programs, Stack tours (first come, first served) free ice cream (on Saturday), our exhibit, performances and much, much more. Check out the schedule here, and check out more pics of Patience and Fortitude here.
My favorite memory of Patience and Fortitude is from watching The Wiz!

Happy birthday to J.M. Barrie, the author who created Peter Pan, first for the stage in 1904 and then for a novel in 1911. This children’s book illustration of Peter and Tinkerbell and the gang from our Mid-Manhattan Picture Collection seemed a fitting tribute. And remember - don’t grow up.
