The Library After Hours returns for a one-night-only celebration of Queer Magic. Inspired by the Library’s LGBTQ Initiative—which includes one of the premier collections of queer history in the world—Library After Hours highlights the weird, wonderful, and mysterious intersections of queerness and magic. 

Special access includes:

  • Curated display that uncovers queer magic within the Library’s collections

  • Games, puzzles, and crafts and coloring inspired by NYPL's collections

  • Dance the night away with music by DJ Eugene Tambourine

  • Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase
