Writer Siobhan Wall, author of Quiet Paris, Quiet Amsterdam and Quiet London captures peaceful places in New York City in her new book, Quiet New York. It's the city that never sleeps - crowded and cacophonous, creative and complex.  But within New York's skyscraper canyons and bustling boroughs there are surprisingly quiet places - unknown to many natives and virtually unimaginable to most visitors, including the General Society Library. Quiet New York is a guide to that other, hidden city where tired tourists can enjoy enticing small museums and peaceful gardens, and harried natives can discover places to relax and recuperate - places of sanctuary and worship, eclectic shops and cafes, libraries, galleries, and waterfront parks. Profiling over 120 quiet places and covering all five boroughs, with evocative photographs and a short description for each location (including travel, access and contact details) Quiet New York reveals the tranquil corners of the world's most stimulating city.

SIOBHAN WALL is a writer and artist. She has worked as a senior lecturer, teaching photography, cultural studies, video production and fine art for over ten years at universities in London and Oxford. Her artwork has been exhibited alongside Paula Rego and at the Whitechapel Art Gallery and ICA in London.

The lectures start at 6:30pm in The General Society Library

 20 West 44th Street, (Between 5th and 6th Avenues)
