In their Profile they gave such a smart reasoning on why the library is decided to be a part of this photo sharing website:
"....we are here to rub digital shoulders with the other illustrious institutions participating here. Flickr is among the most lively and innovative social media communities on the Web, with millions of users capturing and describing the photographic present. "

One of the surviving copies of the Gutenberg Bible is exhibited in the NYPL Rare Book Collection : http://exhibitions.nypl.org/treasures/items/show/113.
