Recently we mentioned that the New York Public Library was hosting a scavenger hunt at the main branch of the NYPL on 42nd street, calling the event “Find the Future.” Well, it seems that the city’s young bibliophiles were hungry for just such an event, as several hundred were happy to be locked in the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building all night, tasked to find some of the library’s valuable and rare artifacts. Check out the following video (via the NYPL’s Tumblr) to see how it went.
