Not Just a Library, an Oasis of Civilization

Mr Stuff sent over this NYTimes Story on the New York Public Library.

Though it focuses on NYC in this case, most of what\’s said can be applied to your favorite library as well. If you don\’t know how things work @ Ny Public, check it out, it\’s quite interesting.

\”It is natural, I suppose, that a great library should be a more important presence in the life of a writer than it is for those whose work does not involve constant contact with the written word.\”
