Library opens to house all 3,500,000 pages of the Epstein Files

The installation binds 3,437 volumes and includes a survivor tribute, while organizers say visitors cannot read the books behind velvet ropes.

  • The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room opened in Manhattan, New York, on May 8, 2026, displaying all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein Files bound into 3,437 volumes.
  • Each of the 3,437 volumes weighs around 5 lbs, giving a combined total of 17,000 lbs of evidence documenting one of the most horrific crimes in American history.
  • Spanning two floors of a 5,000-square-foot gallery space, the installation features 1,400 artificial candles in the center, each representing one of the victims of Epstein's crimes.
  • Visitors can book free reservations through TrumpEpsteinReadingRoom, but shelved volumes remain behind velvet ropes and unreadable; reading all files would require over a year at two pages per minute.
  • The Reading Room features a timeline documenting intersections between the lives of Donald and Jeffrey Epstein; organizer David Garrett said: "The truth is hard to deny when it's printed and bound for you to see.
