Explanation:
[STC001870] The New York Public Library, despite its name, does not have locations in each of the five boroughs of New York City. There are locations of the New York Public Library in the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island; however, there are no branches in Brooklyn or Queens. The cause for this may be traced back to 1898, when a plan for the unification of New York Metropolis joined the nation’s largest city with its fourth-largest: Brooklyn, which had been a separate city up until that point. The Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island were all incorporated into the plan at the same time. The public library system in New York City took over the management of libraries in the Bronx and Staten Island, but Brooklyn and Queens maintained their independence and continue to operate their own library systems to this day. The good news is that residents of New York City are eligible for library cards with all three of the city’s library systems.
