New York Public Library

　この日はいつも来ているニューヨーク公立図書館の本館が映画の撮影のために臨時休館。あきらめて帰ろうとしたのですが、ドアに張り紙が貼ってあり、『はす向かいの図書館は開いてるから、そっちに行ってちょ』と書いてあります。はす向かいの図書館？その住所の場所に行くと、本当に別の図書館がありました。しかもけっこうな大きさの図書館です。なんで図書館を２つもほぼ隣接するように建てたのでしょうか。うーむ、不可解。

The Main Library of the New York Public Library where I often come was closed because of some filming inside. I read the note on the entrance and it said that there was another library diagonally in front so go to that place instead. Another library diagonally in front? I have never seen it but went there anyway. It was really there and was not a small library. I really cannot understand why the City of New York built two libraries almost next to each other. Cannot compute.
