The library was open until 10 p.m. for grad students, but special collections was quieter. I swiped my card at the gate, heart pounding as the door beeped. The room was dim, green banker lamps glowing on the long tables, shelves towering high with rare books behind glass. A couple of students were at the front, heads down, but the back corner was empty.

Should I head home, or find somewhere else to hide away for a while? I decided to head to the library late to work on the corrections for my proposal.

We're closing the library now," she said with a sympathetic smile. "If you plan to study all night, you'll have to come back on Friday. We're open 24/7 until exam season ends," she added kindly. "But tonight, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave."

POV: Sienna Rhodes The New York Public Library's special collections division closes at six on weekdays, which means I have been here since nine this morning and I have been given nine hours to find what I am looking for, which is either enough or not enough depending on whether what I am looking for wants to be found. I am looking for Helena Moreau Sterling. Not the person. The record of the practice.

Owen sat at the front desk, scrolling through the late return fees on his computer monitor, the blue light reflecting off his wire-rimmed glasses. It was 8:47 PM on a Friday. The library stayed open until nine on Fridays, a policy Owen had never understood. Nobody came in on Friday nights. Nobody except the rain and the quiet.

"I guess, although I never saw it whenever I visited them. It was up in the attic behind a stack of cartons. I know this sounds crazy but sometimes when I look at it I get the feeling it's looking back at me." Mike gave her quizzical look. "Yeah? Interesting." Before she had a chance to ask him what he meant by that he was at the front door, looking back at Jamie. "You planning to decorate tonight?" "No. I'm taking the day off tomorrow. My assistant and the volunteers work on Halloween and I work a Sunday for each of them." Mike frowned. "The library is open Sunday?" "Only once a month." Her lips thinned.

They stood in the reading room at six o'clock. The library had been open for nine hours. The first Tuesday of August, the civic calendar's beginning, the letter delivered to the first of its strangers. In those nine hours: two hundred and fourteen people through the covered approach. Not a large opening-day number — not the event attendance, not the formal-occasion crowd.

As the electric shutters began to roll downward, someone dashed inside from underneath it when it was halfway lowered.

He gestures down the front and I see a door with a lit up sign over it. ESCAPE CLUB “What do the silver memberships get?” “They get the same, but with unlimited lap dances and more vouchers for the Escape Lounge. Those guys have to pay for their drinks, though.” I nod as I sip my drink. This is unbelievable. “What time does it open?” “There is an 11am till 5pm session on Thursdays and Fridays. And then Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursday, and Friday nights.” Shit, so the fuckers can slip in and out of here during work hours. Bring in the weekend with a bang, so to speak. “It’s not open weekends?” I ask.

if you can even call it that, had been even shorter. “You come in by 7:30 am sharp. I want the place cleaned and the lights on before the first patron even thinks about touching the handle,” she’d said, her voice clipping every syllable. “The library opens at 8:00 am. Not 8:01. Not 7:59.” “Okay, ma’am,” I’d replied, trying to keep my posture as straight as hers. “Before opening, you rearrange. People are animals, Annabella.
