　　Galleries in Chelsea
　　Cheim & Read
　　547 W. 25th St., 212-242-7727
　　Unlike most of its white-box neighbors, the architecture here divides the space in two to create an exhibition hall that offers a unique way to experience art in Chelsea. The gallery has a group of diverse talents on its name list but specializes in female artists, showing worch as Jenny Holzer’s language-based light installations（装置）and the abstract paintings of Joan Mitchell.
　　Pace Gallery
　　508 W. 25th St, 212-989-4258; 510 W. 25th St, 212 255-4044; 584 W. 25th St., 212-929-7000
　　With three locations（位置）in Chelsea alone, Pace stands out for its ability to host all kinds of affairs, depending on the need. And with a name list that includes heavy weights like light artists Robert Irwin and James Turrell, Vietnam Wall Memorial master Maya Lin and one of the strongest collections of Chinese artists, there’s sure to be something that catches your eye.
　　Gagosian
　　555 W. 24th St, 212-741-1111; 522 W. 2lst St., 212-741-1717

　　Julie Saul
　　535 W. 22nd St., 6th fl., 212-627-2410
　　With its original goal of focusing on photographic-based art ,this gallery is how best known for works on paper and design. Perhaps it’s a return to its roots that has recently set off debates on photographer Arne Svenson’s exhibition The Neighbors, in which he secretly took photos of his neighbors without their knowledge.

　　Growing up in the sixties and seventies, I never visited a public library. My hometown is a medium sized city with only one public library that was open to only a limited number of people. I didn’t read much as a child and had never experienced the enjoyment of visiting a library and reading.
　　When I came to the United States in 1991 at the age of 27, I couldn’t understand and speak English well. I didn’t know what to do with my life at that time. Fortunately I lived within walking distance to the Madison Public Library in Madison, Wisconsin. I went to the library several times a week and chect one or two bags full of books every time, starting with books at the kindergarten level. I could read a few dozen a day. The more I read, the more I hungered for books and knowledge.
