why is it called 'new york public library' if it only serves downstate new york

that is less than half the state, I live in new york and there are no new york public library locations near me

are you really going to let us be beaten by new jersey? new jersey?

disclaimerI have a public library 5 minutes away, (though I guess not a 'new york public library') this comment was made mostly for the funny and more importantly to shit on new jersey

this comment was written after staying awake over 30 hours and I am (very faintly) hallucinating the factorio express belts moving on my screen

Because it's the public library system for the City of New York.

ah I probably should have realized that when writing the comment

As a general rule of thumb, "New York" refers to the city, unless otherwise specified such as "New York State", or in a list/map that's obviously only listing/labeling states.
