23、ughs of Manhattan, the Broil, and Staten Island, in New York City. (The boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens have their own public library systems.) The library provides free circulating books and other materials, reference services, and research facilities. The librarys full name is The New York Public
24、Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations. The library was founded in 1895 with funds from a trust left by the American political leader Samuel J. Tilden. The trust made possible the consolidation of the Astor and Lenox libraries, two research libraries that were experiencing financial difficulty
25、. The Astor Library was established in 1849 by an endowment left by John Jacob Astor, a merchant and financier. The Lenox Library was the private collection of the American philanthropist James Lenox. Upon his death in 1880 the collection became a research library. The library contracted with the ci
26、ty to build and operate circulating libraries in three of the citys boroughs. In 1901 Andrew Carnegie, the American steel magnate and philanthropist, provided the money to build the first 39 branches of the library. The Central Research Building, erected and still maintained by the city, was dedicat
27、ed as a free research library in 1911. In the early 1990s, about 80 percent of funding for the branch libraries were provided by New York City. The research libraries are supported mostly by private endowments and gifts, and additional grants are awarded by the federal government and by the city and
28、 state of New York. The administrative center of the research libraries, and the largest library of the system, is the Central Research Building, a well-known New York City landmark. Its imposing marble structure covers two blocks from 40th to 42nd streets on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Cataloging an
29、d acquisition for the research libraries are done ha this building. Besides the Central Research Building, the research libraries include the Library for the Performing Arts, located within the Lincoln Center complex; the Schomburg Center for Research Building; and the Science, Industry, and Busines
30、s Library (SIBL), which opened in May 1996 on Madison Avenue near 34th Street. The SIBL also has a 50,000-volume circulating collection. The other research libraries only allow their materials to be used in library reading rooms. Together, these constitute one of the greatest libraries in the world,
31、 containing some 12.5 million books and more than 27 million manuscripts, recordings, prints, and other items.

When no one answered, he pushed the door open. He immediately realized his mistake. Hed blundered into another dre
36、ssing room. Miguel knew he should leave the room immediately, but he couldnt help staring at the guy in the room. He seemed to be taking to himself. No one in the room was talking back. Yet there was someone else there. A girl. Most of her was hidden behind the speakers broad-shouldered body. Miguel
37、 saw a flash of slender hands reaching up, fussing with the front of the guys light brown hair. “Glenn, hold still!“ the girls voice suddenly cut through the speakers monologue, “If you dont stop wriggling. I might burn you with this curling iron!“ Miguels blood turned to boiling acid. Leanna! She h
38、adnt wasted any time getting a new boyfriend. Miguel had to see what this loser looked like. “Excuse me,“ Miguel said, walking toward the couple. “Can you tell me the supply closet?“ “This isnt the supply closet,“ Glenn said arrogantly, “Get lost. “ “But Im already lost,“ Miguel said cheerfully. He
39、was ignoring Glenn now and watching Leanna for some sort of reaction. Her face was totally drained of color, and her almond eyes were so wide, they almost seemed round. “What are you doing here?“ Leanna gasped. “Looking for an extension cord,“ Miguel replied. He pointed to the white cord connecting
40、the curling iron to the outlet. “How about that one?“ “No! Thats mine,“ Glenn said, “Leanna, you only put one wave in my hair. “ “Hey, Leanna, you never did my hair when we were dating,“ Miguel said. He leaned against the wall, almost in Leannas face, and ruffled his bangs with his fingers. Miguel w
41、asnt sure what he was trying to prove. He couldnt stand seeing Leanna so close to Glenn, touching his hair. If he could goad Leanna into losing her temper, Miguel hoped hed be able to hate her again, instead of wanting her back. “Get out of here,“ Leanna said coldly. “You used to go out with this ja
42、nitor?“ Glenn asked Leanna. “Im not a janitor,“ Miguel said, “Im helping Scott with the lights. “ “Yeah?“ Glenn turned to Miguel, “Make sure you keep that spotlight on me, boy. Im the star of this show. “ “You may be the star,“ Miguel said, his voice low, “but Im not your boy. “ “I can say whatever
43、I want,“ Glenn shot back, “My parents pay taxes, but you immigrants sneak into this country illegally and take jobs away from Americans. Do you want me to call Immigration?“ Leanna suddenly stepped between them. “I cant believe you, Glenn. Miguels not an immigrant. His family came here from the Phil
44、ippines, and“ Glenns nostrils flared, “These foreigners are taking over the country. It makes me sick!“ “Im a Filipino and Im proud of it !“ Leanna, hands on her hips, was shouting in Glenns face, “Do I make you sick, Glenn?“ “Of course not !“ Glenn looked shocked, “You were born here. Im talking ab
45、out people who come from other countries. Most of them go on welfare and they run down the neighborhoods and commit crimes. Why should they have the same rights as American citizens ?“ “Because were human beings,“ Leanna said. Miguel noticed that Leanna had put herself in the same category. She wasn
46、t trying to impress him. She was speaking from the heart. “Its not where you come from that matters,“ Leanna told Glenn, “Its what kind of person you are inside. Miguels honest and hardworking, but youre a conceited jerk!“ “Whats going on in here?“ a new voice demanded. The agent, Tyrone Ashby, appe
47、ared in the doorway. “Five minutes to curtain time! Glenn, get out there!“ “Im outta here, all right,“ Glenn said, “You can have your crummy show without me! “ Miguel barely noticed Glenn or the agent. All his attention was on Leanna. She turned to him, tears glistening in her eyes. “Miguel, Im sorr
48、y I lied to you,“ she said, “I know youll never forgive me. But I wanted to say thank you. Because of you, Ive learned to love my Philippine heritage. I hope someday we can be friends. “ A lump rose in Migucls throat, and he knew, suddenly, that friendship would never be enough. “Leanna,“ he began. But then he felt his body slam into the wall as Glenn pushed roughly past on his way out the door. Miguel had barely caught his breath when Tyrone grabbed his arm. “Youve got to take Glenns p
