Use the tool below to find available books in the NYPL library system, uniting libraries in Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The existing catalog provides a list of libraries that hold copies of each book but does not present them in a geographically intuitive display. To solve this, you can enter the URL corresponding to any item in the catalog and a map will be generated to show all of the library locations that stock the item.
Blue pins denote libraries with at least one copy available.
Red pins denote libraries that typically stock the book but have no remaining copies available.
Click the pins to display the name of the library.
Visit the NYPL Library Catalog here to find a URL for your desired book. Note that you need an NYPL account to access the catalog.
