Be aware that most if not all of the branch's theatrical collections have been moved to West 43rd Street, near (I believe) Tenth Avenue. I was down there in May and found myself taking a bit of a hike to the new digs. It would be a good idea to check by phone first. Also, get in requests for microfilm, etc. fairly earlier in the day. When I visited in May there were only two mf readers available and I never did get to view the films, as I had only the one afternnon left in the city.
