NYPL services Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island. That's 3.5 million people to Queens' 2.25 million.

While technically a private institution, NYPL is chartered by New York State, many of its buildings are publicly owned, and the mayor, council speaker, and comptroller each appoint…

"one of". It's unlikely to be bigger than NYPL, which has 92 locations to QPL's 62.

I'd be happy to talk. What's your email?

Yes, but how many of these are rallies (with people speaking)? Even though the south end of the square is usually free, including on market days, Parks will tell you that they do n…
