“It was the best of times. It was the worst of times…” 

What would Charles Dickens think about turning 200 today? Well, everyone here at NYPL wishes him (and all his faithful fans) a most wonderful bicentennial! Why don’t you stop by the Stephen A. Schwarzman building and catch a last look at Mr. Dickens’ letter opener (fashioned from his cat’s paw) and his very own reading copy of David Copperfield? They will be on exhibit until March 4, don’t miss out!
