With 92 branches throughout Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island, the library is committed to being a resource for all the inhabitants of this multifaceted and cosmopolitan city, and beyond. The New York Public Library exemplifies the deeply rooted American belief in the individual’s right to know and be informed. It is one of the most democratic institutions in America – everyone is welcome. Sponsored by The Andrew Mellon Foundation

This documentary film follows luthier Stephan Connor as he builds two guitars and immerses himself in the mystical city of Granada, Spain. Guitar builders in Granada have long influenced the evolution of the instrument. With help from local, rising star guitarist Pablo Giménez, Steve experiences the true soul of the city—witnessing flamenco performances in the ancient caves of Sacromonte, wandering the halls of the Alhambra and meeting with local luthiers. Join former music major Sky Sabin for a Q&A following the film.
