Our Meeting Place
With the exception of field trips and special events, our regular meetings are held on the second Saturday of each month (except June and August) at the New York Public Library, Fifth Avenue & 42nd Street. These meetings are open to the public, and there is no charge to attend. Our usual meeting place is either Classroom B, in the South Court's Celeste Bartos Education Center, or in the lower-level auditorium, accessible via stairway and elevator adjacent to the classroom area.
Show Library floor plan.
See our Newsletter for other map-related events in the New York City area that may be of interest to members. Contact the sponsoring organization for further details about these events.
Our Next Meeting
Saturday, July 11th, 2009, at 2:30 pm
Summer Social
Our Third Annual “Summer Social” will again be an informal round-robin discussion in which each member is invited to be one of our speakers. Tell us about your specific interests, share your suggestions for interesting meeting topics, and any other ideas that would help to improve our Society.
Board members will report on the recent Waldseemüller meeting at the Library of Congress, on our programs for the Fall/Spring season, and on the Society's web site.
And then, we hope members and guests will join us at the Oyster Bar in nearby Grand Central Station for more socializing — drinks, snacks, dinner — your choice, depending on your taste and budget.
