Several elements suggest the article predominantly focuses on highlighting the library's strengths, significant collections, and achievements. While the article is informative and rich in details about the library's collections and history, the emphasis on its size, importance, and unique collections seem to have a promotional tone. To align more closely with NPOV, context and citations are needed

Comparative Context: Offering comparisons or rankings with similar institutions, if available, could help situate the RBML within the broader landscape of special collections libraries without implying it is superior or unique without context.
Citations and Critiques: Adding citations from independent sources
Reducing Superlatives: Minimizing language that overly celebrates
