What is a Library?
It is a crossroads of civilization;
Refuge of all the arts against the ravages of time.
Armoury of Fearless Truth against whispering rumour, incessant trumpet of trade.
From this place Words may fly abroad
Not to perish as digital waves but fixed in time
Not corrupted by the hurrying hand but verified in proof.
It stands on Sacred Ground.
