@_JingjingCao Great. Good luck with your research!

@AskNYPL Thanks so much for the webpage. I called them and all sorted. 👍👍👍

@AskNYPL I’ve contacted a librarian at NYPL via email to arrange a consultation today but haven’t heard back. Wondering whether there’s other ways to contact them. I’m worried my emails went to junk.

Hi. We've tried some searches in Google, Google Books, and a few library catalogs using the details you recall with no success. Was this a novel, a collection of short stories, or non-fiction? How long ago did you read it? Could you estimate the publication year? Some of the suggestions in this blog post, such as the crowdsourcing resources, may be helpful in your search. nypl.org/blog/2017/11/2… cc: @NYPLRecommends

We shelve fiction in our circulating collections by the author's last name, but an anthology with multiple authors would be shelved by the first word in the title that is not a, an, or the. "A Short Hike" would be shelved under S not A. Here's an example from our catalog. The Book of Dragons: An Anthology is shelved under B not T as you can see from the call number SCI FI B. borrow.nypl.org/search/card?is…

@gamemakerstk @AskNYPL what are the rules for libraries? A title called "A Short Hike", will it be shelved in A or S section, if sorted alphabetically?

@redlionny @KaraBTweets @VacantRobot Unfortunately, all New York Public Library locations have run out of eclipse glasses.

@KaraBTweets @AskNYPL @VacantRobot They don’t have anymore. Best to try to get some from local people. Post on FB groups.

@AskNYPL - will your 42nd St & 5th Avenue location have eclipse glasses today (Thursday) ?

@MarkPachas Unfortunately, all New York Public Library locations have run out of eclipse glasses.

@AskNYPL do you still have those eclipse glasses available?

@JosephLucas65 Unfortunately, all New York Public Library locations have run out of eclipse glasses.

@AskNYPL Hello. Can I still pick up eclipse glasses? Please lmk. Have a great week!

@redlionny Update: The Visitor Center has no more glasses to distribute.

@AskNYPL Thank you for your quick reply! ☀️ 🌙
