This was shot at Bryant Park, Manhattan of New York City on August 21, 2010. The open-air Reading Room opens from 11:00 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. The father is help his daughter read a kids' book. The original Reading Room began in 1935 as a public response to job losses in New York, and it ran until the start of WWII. The current Reading Room draws on that precedent by offering carts with periodicals and books, which can be used by visitors without charge. Since 2004, the Reading Room has also offered a robust program of readings at lunch-time, after work, and for kids. Books are donated by publishers. Periodicals are donated by a newspaper delivery service.
