Hey it's Olivia again. Today, Julie, Carrie and I went to the New York Public Library. When we entered the library we were shocked to discover there aren't any books! It's only a "research library." A little upset, and a little confused, we simply went to the exhibit on the history of children's books. The exhibit showcased old-fashioned children's books which included stories intended to instill fear in children to prevent bad behavior. There were also books from our childhood such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Phantom Tollbooth. After the museum we went to the Grand Central Station subway stop and got to experience the beauty of the station. It was surprisingly small compared to what we expected but was still exciting to see. We finished our day off shopping at Pier 1.
