Who is that? Why, it’s legendary musician Pete Townshend hanging out with the NYPL’s own Paul Holdengraber in our historic 42nd Street building last night. Pete was here to discuss his new book Who Am I? (check it out of the Library here) as part of our LIVE from the NYPL series. He said many amazing things - here’s just a small example: when asked to describe his life in seven words last night, Pete said, “I run a store. I have customers.” Gotta love it. He also performed a little bit (video to come, fans). Do you love programming like this? Become a Friend of the Library (for as little as $40 a year!) and get discounts on tickets, advanced sales, etc.

Books, baked goods, & babes.
How epic is this! natoinbrooklyn is doing a talk at the NYPL about his new book, Baked elements: our ten favorite ingredients. Check out his bakery (aptly named “Baked”), and check him out. This photo, taken in the NYPL Reading Room is amazing.
Yup, the talk is happening on August 13 at 6:30pm at Mid-Manhattan Library. Do come!
Some of us in the office were lucky enough to sample the treats brought for the photo shoot, and they were delicious…
