Closing the digital divide, one building at a time.

Today, the City announced a $2 million expansion of the Neighborhood Internet program, bringing free, high-speed internet to more low-income New Yorkers living in the Bronx.

More than 40% of households in the Bronx lack internet access at home, limiting access to jobs, healthcare, education, and everyday services. This expansion will connect thousands more residents over the next two years, building on a pilot already serving 700+ households.  

Through this partnership with the New York Public Library, tenants will also have access to Neighborhood Tech Help, offering free support to get online and build digital skills.

Access to internet shouldn’t be a luxury, and we are working to bring this vital service to those in need.

"Sometimes the smallest things take up the most room in your heart." —Winnie-the-Pooh

Her Majesty the Queen visited NYPL and brought along a very special friend.

In one of the many highlights of the royal visit, we were delighted to receive the gift of a new “Roo”—a long-lost friend of Pooh who has been missing for decades. This moment helps us mark the upcoming 100th anniversary of the publication of Winnie-the-Pooh, one of the world’s most beloved children’s books.

Students from P.S. 116 in Manhattan were on hand to witness the new Roo’s arrival, hear Camilla read from Winnie-the-Pooh, and receive their own gift from the Queen—an “Edward Bear,” a small version of the original Pooh toy.

After nearly 100 years, baby Roo has been reunited with Kanga and the rest of his friends from the Hundred Acre Woods. 🍯

Roo has been lost from Christopher Robin’s original collection of toys since the 1930s, and now thanks to the team at @merrythoughtbears, the last remaining teddy bear manufacturer in England, they were able to recreate the original Roo before sending him off on a Royal Adventure. ✈️

With a little help from Her Majesty Queen Camilla, Roo has been reunited with his friends at the @NYPL where the original stuffed animals that inspired A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh can be viewed on display at the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building in New York City.

Look closely 🔎—this crown is etched with history.

"Crown (After Empress Menen)" by Helina Metaferia (@helina.metaferia) is made of brass and explores themes of resistance, labor, and power. A multidisciplinary artist of Ethiopian descent, Metaferia often draws on the legacy of activists—especially Black women activists—in her work.

LAST CHANCE—through May 3, see this piece alongside items from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in a special display in the "Polonsky Exhibition of The New York Public Library's Treasures."

Happy #EarthDay 🌎

At NYPL, we’re working toward a more sustainable future across our libraries and communities through a wide range of efforts, from improving building efficiency to expanding renewable energy.

Recent examples include major energy-efficiency upgrades at the Bronx Library Center and new rooftop solar installations at five branches across the Bronx and Staten Island.

However you celebrate Earth Day, your local library is a place to learn, connect, and take action.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed?
