Soho library to open

At long last, the new New York Public Library branch in Soho is ready. The Mulberry Branch will have its grand opening, on Mon., May 21, at 3 p.m., at 10 Jersey St. (between Mulberry and Lafayette Sts.). A natural for Soho, the branch will have a focus on the visual arts and feature works on display by local artists. Also, in recognition of Little Italy there will be a special Italian section.
