Impressive building(also of Ghostbusters fame), but as you can look around a little without a membership, I stumbled upon this.
A plaque next to the painting:
The Medieval Scribe
A monk of the Middle Ages, seated within the walls of his monastery, carefully copies a manuscript. Behind the monk is a scene of violent destruction, illustrating the great importance of the medieval scribes in preserving the texts of the past - and thereby the thought and very history of humankind - for future generations.
It's really blurry so I'll type it out |
Someone better call Freedom From Religion Foundation, steeped in their scholarly expertise, to protect us from another one of these blatant Christian proselytizations!! My God, a public library! Is there no safe place for Free Thinking if not our public libraries!?!
