Back in the 1950's I used the NY Public Library and the Brooklyn Public
Library, without any difficulty at any time. Both these libraries were at
that time superb. Oh, I remember that I preferred to use the Brooklyn
Library because it was an open plan, all the shelves were accessible, while
at the NY Library you had to fill out a card and the librarian decided if
you could get the book or not.
The only time I had a problem was at Northwestern University in Evanston,
Illinois (suburb of Chicago). The librarian was loud and obnoxious, but
finally did let me see the research materials that I needed.

Dunno, but a long time ago, I wanted to review some research book at
the NY Public Library on 42nd St.
I was not allowed, unless I could show university credentials.
Maybe things have changed now. This was back in the early 70's.
I also went to the Princeton library, and was not admitted.
